Its been a week and a half since Billy appeared outside Steve's window and made it known that he was alive. Steve had been quick to reach the Byers the day after he'd shown up, explaining as much as he could before pulling Billy on the phone with El.

They'd talked for hours. Longer than Billy thought he'd talked to anyone else. Ever.

Along the way he'd asked to see his sister, but at every mention of it Steve stopped him. 'Its for her safety' he would say. 'Or for your own' was another he would used.

Needless to say, he wasn't happy about it. He was starting to get antsy. To get cabin fever. To freak out.

Until El and Will finally told him it was okay. That there was nothing left of the actual Mind Flayer inside him. Well, nothing dangerous anyways. His powers were connected, yes, but it wasn't anything they thought would be bad.

Still, he'd insisted El call Max. "Please just...I can't. I can't just call. Please get her over here." He said, chewing on his lip as he watched her call.

And then after that? He'd been a nervous fucking wreck. He paced the living room and the hall, up the stairs to Steve's room to look out the window and back down.

"Fuck I can't do this!"

"Three months?!" He's been alive for three months and no one knew? She's seen what the Russians did to Steve and can only imagine what they could do when given three months.

"And how long have you been here?"

"A week and a half?" And now Max looks mad because she feels mad. Her brother had been back in town, alive for months and they'd kept it from her!

Turning to Steve and El, she knows her facial expression belies her feeling of betrayal. "You knew?"

She goes easily when Billy tugs her over to the couch and sis beside him. Her hand comes up to his face and she cups his cheek gently.

"It's okay, Billy. It doesn't matter anymore."

Max looks between her best friend and her brother for a moment before nodding at El, who smiles and nods back and she turns her attention back to Billy.

"Show me what? What's going on, Billy?"

Max's eyes go wide when she realises that it's Billy that's holding the glass up in the air. There's no nose bleed, like El gets but he's hiding his face while he does it.

"Billy... what happened?"

The expression on Max's face when she sees Billy's eyes is shocked, but there's no disgust to be seen. Mostly, she just feels sad; sad that he'd had to go through everything he did only to end up a prisoner and experiment for the Russians before he was able to find his way home.

"I'm just glad you're alive, Billy." Because that was the main thing, right? Who cares if his eyes were creepy sometimes?

Max returns the hug easily, wrapping her arms around him as tight as she can, burying her face into his chest and letting out a soft sob. Six months had been so long and she felt like she'd been one of the only few people who even cared he was gone.

To have him back... her heart felt like it was going to explode.

"I missed you too."

Max gets up from the couch and follows Billy over to the table, pressing into his side as he flips the paper around for Steve and El to see.

The article on the front page is something about a meltdown and Max just stares at it in shock, her wide eyes looking between her brother, the paper and her friends, trying to read the reaction of the room.

"You did that? How?"
