Summary
It's Parents' Day at Hawkins Elementary. Steve doesn't expect his old high school rival to be there too. He also doesn't expect the heart-to-heart that follows. Then again, Steve's learned not to expect anything in life, so it kind of works out.
(A gift for justakidfromhellskitchen for getting me back on the writing train after some major writer's block).

(I Want to Know) Where Are You Tonight by osaki_nana_707

Summary
For the last three nights Katie’s been there for dinner. Her dad’s working late, or at least that’s what Katie has parroted the one time Steve asked. He doesn’t know what Billy does for a living, but apparently he’s got some long hours. He usually rolls up in his Camaro at about seven, just as the girls are starting to wind down. He doesn’t come inside, just honks his horn out in the driveway and Katie gets her backpack and leaves.
Steve is… a little pissed off about it, if he’s being honest.

Or, Billy tries to get a job.

Summary
Steve really doesn’t know how to tell anyone ‘no’.
Steve didn’t plan on going out with the cast after the show, but Dustin had given him The Eyes, and he’d caved. Just dinner. No drinks. He doesn’t think that’s unreasonable, considering how long it’s been since he’s been anywhere that isn’t a kid-friendly place.
Or, Steve and Dustin spend some time together and talk about some things.
