( brain texting is weird right now. not everything is coming through. but Billy will feel the INTENSITY OF STEVE'S ANNOYANCE about that princess line anyway, because that's how oppressive it is. beggars can't be choosers. nobody said they can't be moody little bitches.
but the anger flags fast. because Billy is Billy. he could have fucked off, gone back to sleep, fucked some random girl about it, and been sure to let Steve know about it after the fact. Billy has no particular reason to give a fuck, besides ... what? they know each other, kinda. they both got Upside Downed and are messed up about it. if it is just a matter of getting even, then between sentient puke and badly executed baths, they're already even. Billy doesn't owe him anything, just because they are a matched set from the same fucked up slice of 1980s americana.
and yet when Billy says he'll come, Steve is stupid enough to believe him. he doesn't even press his luck with a hurry. just a flicker of warmed up something — relief, gratitude, appreciation — and then it's gone. Steve's brain is too fucking broken to keep texting his boyfriends under duress. Billy is just going to have to nut up and show. )
