diesel is desire you

Later, Steve will look back at this moment and think to himself that it felt like watching a car crash in slow motion. The screeching tires, the slow press of metal on metal, bending and warping. The shattering glass hitting the pavement and the slick, hot smell of diesel. An engine on fire and the first responders too far away to matter.He gets one, good, shove in. Both of his hands pressed firm and flat against Billy’s chest, and then watches him careen back towards the fridge with a sinking sense of dread. There’s a sharp intake of air behind him, Lucas still caught in the corner of his eye. Dustin takes a half-aborted step forward like he can somehow stop what they all know is about to happen. And it’s that, maybe, that catches Billy’s eye, because he tries to stop himself from falling, he really does.But gravity has never cared for the wishes of people too tiny to grasp the whole of it, and so Billy’s back hits the fridge, and freezer door swings open.
