“Hey.” Y/n greeted as Billy came in through her window. It was a normal way for Billy to enter since her brother hate’s him and Billy doesn't like him very much either.
“Hey.” Billy greeted back as he stood up fully and walked over to her. “Why are you in your room?”
Y/n shrugged as she put her book down. “Fighting with my brother.”
“Ah, well he makes it easy.” Billy nodded sitting on her bed facing her.
“That he can be.” She agreed smiling at him.
With that, the two just started talking about anything and nothing all the same. Being on summer break had its great privileges. Especially since they graduated and didn’t have to go back to that Hawkins hell hole.
After getting snacks and bringing them back up to Y/n’s room, the two sat up against the headboard of her bedframe. There was something billy wanted to ask her about.
“What are you doing tomorrow night?” Billy asked as he popped a chip into his mouth.
“4th of July?” Y/n squinted at him. Did he just not know the day? Or did he hate 4th of July? But Y/n had a inkleing that his father had something to do with it.
“Hmmm.” he nodded
Y/n wiped her hands off on her shorts before thinking about it and them answering. “Um, during the day the kids- including Max are coming over to swim, and then later we’re all going to a hill that we know of. Perfect spot to watch the fireworks.”
“Yeah, I heard about the Max part. Niel and Susan have ‘asked’ me to go with her throughout the day.” Billy explained with a grumble.
“Hmm. Asked huh?” Y/n knew all to well what that really meant.
“In a very Niel way.” Billy gave her a tight smile, knowing she would get what he meant.
“So he threatened you.” she hummed trying to control her anger towards his father. Y/n was the only person who knew besides Susan and Max. If Y/n was gonna murder anyone, it’d be Niel Hargrove.
“Yup.” Billy knew how much y/n hated how his father treated him. He hated it to but it was nice to have someone who cared. Cared about his situation and cared about him. Yeah, his dad did threaten him about going everywhere with Max on the 4th of July. Billy just hoped Y/n would be there to. “But on the bright side, it seems you’ll be there the whole time. So that makes things way better. Get to spend the whole day with you.”
Billy smiled leaning over so he could start his assault on her neck. y/n couldn’t help but giggle at his actions because one she found it cute and two it tickled. “Knowing you’ll be there makes it way better for me too.”
Y/n and Bily moved into a more comfortable laying down position, with Billy laying on top of her bit resting most of his weight on his forearms. They stayed like that till Billy had to head home.
After Billy left Y/n headed downstairs to make dinner with her brother. Y/n couldn’t wait to go to bed and wake up with it being Independence Day. She knew it was gonna be fun, it was one of her favorite holidays. But now that the whole gang and Billy were gonna be there. It was gonna be so fun.
^ ^ ^
“So your asshole boyfriends coming I was told.” Steve spoke as he and Y/n were getting all the food cut up and out for everyone since they’d all be arriving soon.
“Can you not?” Y/n sighed looking up at her twin brother. She understood that he and Billy didn’t like each other but he was seriously gonna try and start something? Today of all days. And even when he knew it was also the only way for Max to some today? “You know this is one of my favorite holidays, so can you not bash Billy? Please?”
With that said the two continued on with their task but Steve could never handle them being at odds.
“Hey.” Steve said getting her attention. “I’ll be chill, okay?”
Y/n smiled at him gratefully. “Thank you.”
“No problem.” Steve nodded hoping to not regret this. But just wanted her to be happy and sadly for him, Billy makes his sister happy.
“Well, I’m gonna get changed into a swimsuit and you should to. Everyone will be here soon.” Y/n smiled at him as she headed out of the kitchen.
“Yeah. Will do.” Steve agreed as he finished his portion fo the setup before heading upstairs to get changed.
It wasn’t long after they both changed that the kids and others like Nacy and Johnathan started showing up.
The last to show up was Max and Billy. But that was expected. “Hey, Max.” Y/n smiled as the redhead girl entered the Harrington house.
“Hey y/n.” Max greeted, as she looked at the older girl that had become like a sister to her. Max couldn’t help it, she ran over to Y/n and hugged her tight. “Thank you.”
“For what?” Y/n asked, alittle shocked at her behavior. Why was she thanking her?
“You make him happy.” Max stated as she pulled out of the hug, smiling at the female Harrington.
“He makes me happy to.” y/n smiled at Max. It was nice to hear and it was nice to say.
Max smiled at y/n one last time before heading out back to the pool where everyone else was.
Meanwhile, Billy had entered the house but judging by his face he didn’t hear what max said. Or her.
Billy stopped in his tracks as he saw Y/n standing in the kitchen in a bikini. He dropped his bag and licked his lips. “You look.”
Billy didn’t bother finishing his sentence as he scooped her up into his arms, bringing her into a very heated kiss.
“Thank you. You don’t look bad yourself.” Y/n bit her lip as they pulled out of the kiss.
It was a fun, hot summer day but everyone was shaving a great time. Everyone hangout at the Harringtons and swam pretty much all day. Once it started to get dark everyone got dressed in some kind of clothing. At least the girls did, the guys only had to put on shirts.
Then they all headed out to where they planned to watch the fireworks. It was a place Billy hadn’t been to before.
“So how do you know of this place?” Billy asked as they walked up the hill.
Y/n shrugged her shoulders as they walked hand in hand up the hill. “Kids found it years back.”
“It’s nice, and you were right. It’s got a nice view. For Hawkins.” billy stated as they reached the top.
“Well, since I showed you the best view of Hawkins. You better show me the best view in Cali.” y/n smiled up at him, hugging his arm. They plan to get the hell outta Hawkins. y/n had lived there her whole life she wanted to see somewhere new. Not like their parents were ever home. Steve didn’t know what he was doing. Plus no one wanted to stay around with the upside down and everything that kept coming back.
“Oh I will.” he smiled back at her. Billy couldn't help but be excited to take her to California. He pulled her closer and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “You can bet on it.”
“Good. I’ll hold you to it.” Y/n squeezed him around the torso. She couldn’t wait for him to show her around his home state and town.
And then the fireworks started and everyone looked up, watching the beautiful spectacle light up the sky. Billy couldn't help looking back at Y/n in his arms. “I hope you will.”

happy overlook hotel from 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 day!!! I am obsessed with this movie
I know I'm late but this was too funny not to reblog
Cackling.
In case the original goes away:
Text version:
Washington State Department of Natural resources tweets:
(Falling to my knees, begging, pleading)
Please.
Folks, seriously.
PLEASE.
Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.
Fire danger is abnormally high this holiday weekend.
URGING you to consider firework alternatives:
- screaming “bang! boom!” at the sky
- dropping a stack of large books on the floor
- wrapping a toga around a candle
- play America the Beautiful while combining Coke and Mentos
Edit: guys. There's so many more pictures. Idk how many people this will reach, but your questions have mostly been answered in a different reblog. The notes are funny. Please check them out.
Challenge 33: 4th of July - Sparklers
I don’t do a whole lot for the 4th of July since I’ve moved to Georgia. If anything my night will consist of sitting/lying on the driveway and playing with left over sparklers from my wedding.
*Decided to try to make a gif for this one, deff something I need to mess with more often ;)

Actually we did it this year.
My little brother asked "Is Captain America going to come to our house in the middle of the night?"
I said yeah and he was like "BUT THATS TRESSPASING!!!"
He was also like "Well we'll know if he's real if they're gone tomorrow"
It’s Fourth of July Eve so make sure to leave some milk and cookies out for Captain America
Beastly Indepence Sooooooooo, I take it I have some MAJOR explaining to do with this pic. Shark Week Canada Day Independence Day All rolled into one pic. So, the bison with the eagle wings and claws is the American beast sporting his huge hairy gut with his extra nice Shark cousin with some beaver DNA who is also sporting quite the belly on him. Seems he is offering his cousin some cake to celebrate his special day, and I think the American beast may have a cake for the Canadian beast as well, but it is hidden behind his big gut, that or he ate it. I think I'm going to be getting some confused look for quite some time. If not, Hope you all have a Great Independence day, A lovely Canada Day, and Happy Shark Week.
Happy Independence Day! This is my OC, Patriot, a Sea/Sky/IceWing hybrid.
