Weird Shit 2.0 [#3]

Billy needed a job.

A part time one or a summer one, he didn't care at the moment which because he just wanted to leave that fucking house! With bloody knuckles and weak knees, he dragged himself over through his camaro, pain flaring up his body every time he moved or breathed: "Fuck." Neil did a number on him this time, he broke the wall with his head, that was really throbbing painfully this time, his fingers really hurt, one of the was broken to be the 'example' to what would happen to his bones if he ever lied to him again... What lie he was talking about? Not even him knew, because Billy sure didn't know which lie he was talking about- Now, lying inside his camaro, far away from home he let himself free for a moment- He was alone here, and here he wouldn't be hurt right? As the tears fell down his face, he couldn't stop the momentary sob that escaped his lips, he broke down into a very loud and sloppy mental breakdown.

He sniffed sighing deeply when a bright white light shone on his face- There, stood a girl, the same girl he knew as Jane, and she was looking at him with this look of pain in her eyes, he saw other lights shining in the distance and knew she was here with her friends? Probably. "Billy." She smiled and he didn't know why, but he felt like he was dreaming for a moment, so he closed his eyes and-

Woke up.

-Scene Cut-

It's December, and Billy has to take Max to the stupid Snow Ball dance in Hawkins Middle School, his lip was busted, courtesy of Neil's fist, but the rest of his face looked better than he hope. He sighed as he slouched in the seat of his camaro, remembering seeing Jane in his weird dream where he thought he got in his camaro and drove to the quarry to cry, but when he asked the girl when she came to visit him in his head (Because apparently she can do that? He didn't question it, it was better if he knew almost nothing about shit) and she explained to him in her limited vocabulary that he pulled her into a memory-dream because he was... Afraid. He asked her not to tell anyone, because that's honestly humiliating, she agreed thankfully.

But ever since that weird Dream-Memory shit, he has these dreams almost every night, about him and another boy... He remembers his voice, but never his face, only a body and a strange scent of mint and strawberry- He didn't remember what they said, what they talked about, but he remembered California and them walking by the San Diego beaches, playing with a ball, holding hands in the sunset and surfing together. He was older, at least two years older than him, beause Billy always looked up to talk to him- in a particular memory, he dreamed of him and the other boy holding hands when, Billy had this toy boat in his other hand and they talked: "I wanna put this in the water, maybe the waves will take it to the other side of the world? Hey, Z-"

"Little B, i don't think the boat's strong enough, but we can try!" He carried a surfing board by himself in his other arm, which meant he was stronger than Billy was as a kid, which only an older kid could do of course, he also would sometimes held things above his head and tease Billy about his height. He remembers how his mom taught him and the other kid how to surf, she was a pro at it, in one of such dreams he saw Eleven and the magic of the memory shattered because blinked and there was a storm- Everything went dark, and the feeling of drowning, water filling his lungs made him have a panic attack. The darkness parted when he came to Billy's rescue, he was like a fish in water, swimming even better than Billy ever could!

He took him in his arms, brought him out of the water, and held him on the board as the waves of the sea threw them from side to side, Billy almost died that day but he saved him so many times, he was his guardian angel, his best friend, his first crush... He was the one he couldn't remember no matter how much he tried to! Every time he woke up all he could remember from the dream-memories were his presence, his scent, and his beautiful, beautiful golden eyes. "You like him?" He was once again in the void, lying beside him was Jane, the girl was really happy to hear him talking about his life, which was honestly very... Therapeutic.

"Yeah. I liked him... I think i still do, because i can't remember where he is or what happened to him." His head rested on the girl's lap as she played with his hair, he felt safe for the first time in years- isn't that depressing? "I can look." He blinked, she was offering to look for him or look through his mind for him? "Both." Oh, right, in here she can hear his thoughts if he lets her... "Sure kid, let's try it later, okay?" He could feel their connection slipper through his fingers, since his body was becoming smoke in her hands, she smiled at him and vanished just as Billy opened his eyes... Today's another day, and another hell to go through. 'Fuck it.' He got to the bathroom and took a quick shower, the necklace on his neck- A memory flashed through his mind and he smiled when he remembered, because what he saw was the same boy, shirtless, with this necklace on his neck as he smiled at him. It was his... His necklace.

But he remembers it also being his mother's necklace, so she must've given the other boy the necklace, and he gave him the necklace later? Maybe he was just trying it on, or maybe he was just trying it on too. He groaned in exasperation, ready for the rest of the day... Or as ready as he could possibly be.

-Scene Cut-

At school, he was the new King! Even more so after King Steve was close to graduating, the guy didn't hate him even after he took everything from him and puched his face, broke his nose and all that jazz... He didn't even disliked him, he was something Billy didn't know about, he was a mistery that he didn't think he'd be able to solve. But oh, today was a whole new other day, because even though it's December, there was a new kid! The guy apparently had perfect grades because his parents didn't care that moving in the end of the year could damage their son's performance and shit, but the guy was new blood and Billy was slightly curious about new blood.

Until he met him, and then like pieces of a puzzle, it slowly made sense... He smelled like mint and smoke, his hair was short but spiky, he had a few piercings on his left ear and a black leather jacket with a white shirt underneath, he had this whole badboy vibes to him thanks to also the tattoos on his arm, he wore two black fingerless gloves and a wrist clock on his right wirst- And his eyes, they made Billy freeze when he saw them: Golden eyes.

Name? Anámis Zoi Thános, but he asked people to call him Victor cause that was easier- Billy was smaller than him, like, his 5'10 size was already tall to most people around here, Billy could count on his fingers people taller than him in this small school and this guy was one of them, he towered above most people, standing at 6'9 (A/N: I'm sorry, had to make the 69 joke) feet tall, broad chest and shoulders, thick thighs and legs, and a very healthy-looking ass (Not that Billy looked at it, of course- He is a straight man- pfffft.)... But what made Billy even more confused and surprise was their first interaction in the basketball training that he went to try-

"So you're the new King huh." Looking down at him (Both physically and mockingly), the new blood stood there- Billy's team this time was the one with shirt on, and Billy had the blessing to see the guy before him without a shirt on- Big, Buff, and full of tattoos. Billy could see a circle full of norse runes and in the center of the circle was a moon with three stars, the tattoo flowed down the arm and abs, the arm had a bark-like tattoo that connected the branch of a tree with the tattoos of the chest, making it look like a fruit hanging from a tree, the arm also had a snake curled around the whole tree and the head of the snake opened in the shoulder to make it look like it was ready to swallow the moon fruit of norse runes, the abs had a curled ouroboros snake eating its own tail, and in the center of this snake circle was the sun. There was probably more on the back, because he could see even the coach lookinh a bit impressed at the guy! "Yeah, that's me." The guy gave him his hand and Billy was ready for him to try and squeeze his fingers, but no.

He held his hand as said: "The name's Anámis Zoi Thános (Anamis, like Artemis, Zoi like Zoe, and Thános like you're saying Thanatos, but without the tos), but you can call me anything you want." This was unexpected, but Billy was a little tempted to take the bait and straight up call this guy pet names- Well, today he wasn't puched by Neil, so his survival instincts were asleep: "Whatever you say Big Boy, let's get it then." Oh no, that sounded like he was flirting with him- "Okay then, baby boy." The 'baby boy' was whispered by the guy with a smirk to the lips, Billy froze for a second when he felt just for a second his body react to the teasing word- "Or would you prefer... Little Billy?" He narrowed his eyes before saying: "Plant your feet." The ball reached his fingers and they were playing, skins versus shirts, and holy shit there were so many girls this time that it was nuts! So many guys too, people just came to watch the training because they were curious about the new guy, the first few minutes the game was quite fast, ball here and there with Billy stealing the ball from the guy many times before he just stopped, picked up the ball and held it up above head while Billy looked up- It felt nostalgic for some reason.

"C'mon Little Billy, get the ball." The smirk on the guy's lips was irritating, so Billy jumped as high as he could to catch the ball once, but couldn't quite catch it, making the big guy chuckle at his attempt: "Fucker." Cursing, Billy sighed and look irritated at the guy, who whispered to him: "What? Little B can't reach it?" Wait... Little B?

"Z...?"

"You finally remembered me, Little B." He turned his back to him and there, Billy saw a pair of wings that took over a large part of the back, but there were two letters on the back that were hidden by the feathers- A flash of memory entered his mind, him by the beach beside another boy, smiling as he talked about birds, and how he wanted to have wings and fly: "Well, i guess i can make us wings!" The other boy smiled, drawing very badly in the sand a pair of wings, making Billy laugh before he added another detail- B + Z: "It's our wings." Billy blinked as he caught the offered hand by Z, who smiled-

"You got better at drawing, didn't you?"

-Scene Cut-

Eleven once again tried to find him, 002 was hard to find now for some reason- She tried to call him in the void, but all she got was a bright white light that hurt her eyes and made her leave the Void because it broke her concentration and illuminated the darkness of the void, making it not the void anymore- "Two?" She once again called out for him, she focused on the feeling she had and then- Bright white light shone, it hurt her eyes, but she kept going deeper into the light until she saw it-

A fluttering pair of wings and feathers spreading into an endless horizon, a man with white wings stood in the endless white with white energy surrounding him- He was looking at something before his eyes stared at Eleven and he smiled and winked.

She saw the 002 on his hand, he was shirtless once again? In his arms, someone was there- Billy. His eyes weren't shining white, but they were shining golden, his whole body started to glow in gold and Eleven saw the white around them turn into gold, her connection was broken at that moment.
