Chapter Text
“Steve?” Dustin called, making his way up to the older boys room.
“My mom told me you called and wanted me to come ove-“ Before he could finish Dustin was pushing open the door to Steves bedroom
“Dustin!” Steve shouts, right as Billy thrusts as hard as he could into hm. Throwing his head back moaning, Steve gasps out,
“Fuck.”
That’s all Dustin stays to watch as he turns and gets the hell out of the house as quickly as he could. Grabbing his bike, Dustin turns in the direction of the junkyard.
He couldn’t go home, his mother would be suspectous and think something happened between him and Steve. Mike was with El, and Dustin was still bitter about Max picking Lucas so he definitely wasn’t going to hang out with them.
In the months that passed since Eleven closed the gate, things have been fine, normal even. The Party has been steadily getting bigger, with the girls now members. But strangely, Steve has been elected as well as a new member.
Dustin gets to the junkyard in record time. He doesn’t want to think about what he just saw. But that’s all he can think about. Making his way onto the old bus, Dustin sighs heavily.
“Dusty?”
The boy hears making him jump. He forgot about his headset. He’d given Steve one at the last meeting when the girls got their own.
It was only fair.
“I know you can hear me. I just want to talk” Steve says before Dustin switches his off.
He just needs time to process this.
It’s been months since Dustin has let himself think about it. He didn’t want to get his hopes up. He didn’t want to ruin the friendship he had just recently uncovered. He didn’t want people to fed out and hurt him just for liking someone as the same gender as him. But now, after seeing Billy and Steve together, it crushed him. He never had a shot now.
Sitting there, Dustin jumps for the second time that night when someone- or something opens the door to the bus. Grabbing the first thing he could get his hands on, he’s about to swing when Steve yells,
“STOP!”
“What the hell Steve?!” Dustin says, dropping the weapon from his hands.
“You scared me!”
“Well you turned you headset off or something so I couldn’t tell you I was coming!” Steve accuses.
Instead of answering, Dustin drops back down to the seat he was sitting on petulantly.
“Dustin” Steve starts, taking a seat next to the younger boy.
Before Steve could continue though, Dustin cuts him off.
“Look you don’t have to explain anything to me. I wont tell anyone what I saw.” Once Dustin started talking it like he couldn’t shut up. “You don’t have to hang out with me anymore either. I-I understand.”
“What?” Steve asks, confused only to be answered by Dustin talking again.
“I know I’m young and you don’t want to hang out it’s me. And I definitely don’t look like Billy-”
Steve cuts him off there.
“Dusty, you look amazing and I always want to hang out with you.” Steve says flicking his eyes up and down the other boy.
“And you’re 16 so you’re not that young” Dustin was about to protest but Steve continues;
“Do you wanna know why you got the call to come over?” Dustin nods his head once.
“Billy called and pretended to be me to get you to come over” Steve says, looking nervous.
“Why?” Dustin asks, eyebrows raised high on his forehead.
Sighing, Steve sits back, “Because I told him I might want you to join us when we...” Steve hesitates
“When you-“
“When we have sex” Steve finishes.
It’s quiet before Dustin asks, “why?”
“Why do you think?” Steve laughs, watching Dustin squirm.
“Oh”
“Why don’t you come back to my house so we can talk about this?” Steve asks, glancing at Dustin.
“Alright” Dustin agrees slipping his headset back on his head.
Struggling to convince Steve that he can ride his bike back to his house alone Dustin throws his hands up in the air.
“If something happens to my baby then it’s your ass” Dustin warns laying his bike up under the bus.
The ride back to Steve’s house is quiet Steve sending silent glances in Dustin’s direction every so often.
“I was worried you got lost, Pretty Boy” Billy says from the doorway of the Harrington’s place.
“Just ignore him” Steve mutters, pushing past the other boy into the house.
“So you guys are... t-together?” Dustin hesitates in asking.
“Yeah” Steve throws over his shoulder.
Following Steve into his room he watches as the older boy sits on his bed.
“Huh”
Dustin watches as Billy moves around the room comfortably. Like he’s been here a thousand times before and isn’t afraid of moving things.
“For how long? I never knew...”
“Cause we don’t want the whole town knowing we’re fags” Billy says, making Dustin flinch.
“Hargrove” Steve’s voice cuts through the air.
At least Billy looks slightly guilty after Steve’s reprimand.
“We just don’t want people to...” Steve struggles to find the right words.
“Be homophobic assholes” Billy finishes off for him.
“And you... want me to join you?” Dustin asks, looking between the two older boys.
“Yeah” Steve says, a small smile on his lips.
“We would fuckin’ love for you to join us” Billy grins.
“Can I think about it?” Dustin asks looking down.
“Of course” Steve says immediately, “Take all the time you need.”
Dustin sends a silent thank you with his smile to the older boy.
“If you want, and if your mom says it’s okay, you can stay here with us tonight” Steve says, trying to keep his face as impassive as possible. He doesn’t want to make the other boy uncomfortable.
“Alright” Dustin says, smiling. “I’ll go call and ask”
Steve’s eyes doesn’t leave Dustin as the boy makes his way out the door.
“You’re so far gone for the kid” Billy laughs as Steve scowls.
“Oh don’t pout, Princess. It’s hot” Billy slurs his hand sliding down his body gripping his dick through his jeans.
“So where am I sleeping?” Dustin asks coming back through the door.
Billy grins before replying; “Right between me and Pretty Boy of course.”
