[ his first response is to ask who told you, but before the question gets out he realizes it's not worth asking. he knows lucas just showed up, and it was just a matter of time before someone found out, and steve just. sighs.
why does it matter anyway? other than owning up to the fact he definitely completely lost that fight? ]
[It matters a lot to Max. Like, a lot. She knows it didn't go well for him if they'd had to drag him to Billy's car after. She isn't surprised and it's not because she lacks faith in Steve. It's that she's well-aware of what Billy's like when he's pissed. What he's capable of.]
[ he doesn't....know how he feels about that. being thanked? for getting his face beaten in? it's embarrassing to think about, and his only saving grace was that there'd been much bigger problems that he hadn't really had the time to focus on that fact. ]
you don't have to thank me for that no offense but your brother's a massive dick
[It doesn't translate into embarrassment for her. It's simply that it makes at least twice back home that Steve's bailed her out of trouble, once with a monster, and once with, well. Another kind of monster. Because Billy had been looking for her.]
i kinda do? because he was going after lucas and you stepped in and stopped him.
