A terrible sentence for Harringrove: “You remind me of my little toe - I’m gonna bang you on the coffee table when I get home for work.”
Giggling at this!!
Steve’s a heartthrob, there’s no doubt about it. He’s an All-American hunk with the prettiest brown eyes Billy has ever scene, loved and adored by whoever comes into contact with him.
His flirting and come-ons, though, are so bad it’s kinda funny.
Billy figures that once you’re in love, you’re straight-up blind to certain things. Like how your boyfriend will go with you to the public library to return a book and while the librarian is away from the desk, he’ll grab the scanner and point it at you and say some shit like ‘I’m checking you out’ with a little smirk.
And while it’s bad, it still makes you smile.
Or when you go and visit that same boyfriend at Family Video and he takes you to the back for a little alone time and hums, “You remind me of my little toe - I’m going to bang you on the coffee table when I get home from work.”
And that one makes you excited for Steve to clock out instead of pushing him away with a scrunched nose.
Billy’s not sure how it works for Steve. He’s the worst flirter in history, he’s clumsy, he’s kinda dorky where he used to be cool.
Or, maybe, that’s exactly why it all works for him. He’s eager to show affection, he’s so endearingly silly, he’s being…himself. And Billy loves that about him.
So, he figures love has something to do with it when they’re settling down to sleep in Steve’s bed that night and his boyfriend smiles at him and says, “You must be yogurt because I wanna spoon you.”
And Billy rolls his eyes with a smile before turning around, feeling the press of Steve’s chest against his back and hearing him giggle with a breathless, “Oh my god it worked,” as if it never does.
