Summary
This is the older/original version of my fic There's A Rumor. It is going to remain unfinished, as I have moved to working on the updated version instead. I'm leaving this version up, as is, for anyone who would like to revisit it and to preserve the comments. If you are new to this story, please just read the updated version.
The updated version (There's A Rumor) starts off pretty similar to this version, but will diverge more as it progresses. It also features two additional POVs. If you would like the updated version, but just the Eddie & Chrissy POV chapters, please check out Sweetest of the Sunflowers.

Summary
When Billy Hargrove left Hawkins in the dust he wanted to make the escape stick, and that meant that he didn’t want to hear anything about anyone or anything going on back there. Heather felt the same as him, and though Max didn’t understand their perspective, she respected their boundaries.
He’s built a life out in California.
It’s not perfect. The apartment he shares with Heather could be bigger. His boss at the bookstore he works at could be less of a meddling stubborn pain in his ass. Max could stand to visit more when she’s on break from college.
But it’s good. It’s fine.
He likes where he’s at. He likes who he has become.
Enter freshly divorced Steve Harrington and his two kids one sunny day at the beach.

Summary
There was a sudden shift. And everyone noticed.
Billy Hargrove had changed and no one could tell if it was for better or worse.
This change seemed to become very apparent the day that Billy returned to school after having mysteriously disappeared for two whole weeks.
He wasn’t Billy Hargrove anymore, the loud, boisterous, angry jock who blew through town in his loud, boisterous, angry Camaro, who flirted relentlessly with every girl in school, and stalked the halls like he owned them...and it was fucking weird.

Summary
"God, I'm horny," Steve whispers and Billy can feel the heat of Steve's arm pressed against his own, feel the little tremor that runs through his body.
Billy swallows hard, stares pointedly up at the ceiling, "Yeah?"
The white noise of Steve's hair against the pillow as he nods fills Billy's ears.
"s'just the weed workin' its magic."
Steve turns his head to look at Billy, "Are you?" -
