Pretty Boy

Harrington and Hargrove.

They both had been through hell and back and still managed to stay in one piece. Steve, having to have fought with his ex's brother and his friends against demogorgons and demodogs; he was thrown into this headfirst without any sort of warning and almost getting killed. Billy, being flayed by the Mind Flayer and having his body being possessed; forced to be a murderer.

That was something they both have in common.

Going through hell and back and still surviving.

Steve Harrington. King Steve, Steve "the hair" Harrington. He goes by many names but all are meant for the same person. The infamous Steve. He was the most popular and loved a kid in school with the perfect petite girlfriend by his side.

All of that changed one night when Nacy's little brother's friend named Dustin asked him for a car ride. Since then he was fighting demogorgons by the kids' sides and completely gave up on his reputation. Much more happened that year than he could even remember. He did remember two things very vividly what had happened, getting beat up by Billy Hargrove and getting drugged by Russian spies.

Billy Hargrove was indeed a character and definitely had some sort of problem with himself since he felt the need to take it out on helpless kids.

Billy had many past demons that he didn't know how to cope with other than drinking and smoking it all away and getting a light high out of it. Billy loved the feeling of the liquor burning down his throat and anger boiling up inside of him until.

BAM!

He lets it out on some poor kid that accidentally bumped into him the wrong way. He loved the feeling of his knuckles splitting open at he punched the kid's face in. The only part he hated was crashing down from that lovely place he had been to. He hated facing the consequences of his actions.

Steve hated facing the consequences of someone else's actions. Which lead the pair to where they were right now.

"Now... Will one of you boys tell me what the hell went on out there?!" The coach spat out at the pair. Steve had blood on his face along with a purple bruise starting to form around his left eye.

"Harrington got in my way, that's what happened," Billy replied. He smiled smugly and leaned back into the red chair he was sitting in.

"He beat the shit out of me for no good reason," Steve, glaring at Billy, countered through gritted teeth. He didn't want any more trouble with Billy this school year. Not after what had happened to the pair.

"Alright, enough!" The coach barked. The two had obviously got into some sort of a fight on the court but he wasn't quite sure what it was about. It seemed Steve didn't know what the fight was about either.

The boys both watched the coach and held their breaths. They are sure as hell didn't want to get kicked from the basketball team. It was the only way Steve could let out his anger in a safe way.

"You two are going to wrestle this shit out," the coach stated.  He stood with a grunt and gestured for the pair to follow him out of his small office and back into the court.
