Between a Munson and a Buckley
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: unrequited love is a tough pill to swallow but that pain is made more bearable when unlikely company comes.
It hurt, having an crush on someone who’s totally oblivious to it because they’re in love with someone else who wasn’t you and is just as if not even more oblivious to their attempts. ‘Yeah that’s probably why it’s called a crush.’ You thought to yourself as you reminisced in watching the way Robin looked at Vickie the same exact way you looked at her; longing, admiration, loving, like a lovesick puppy.
It brought upon a tightness within your throat and a stinging to your eyes as the unfortunate realisation that no matter how hard you hoped, pleased, begged, wished on fallen eyelashes or wishbones you’d never be the reason of Robin’s long winded tangents nor be subjected to her subtle staring as she tries to take in every feature of your face and the insecurities within them as though they were like stars embedded within the skin of your cheeks. It just wasn’t mean to be between you and Robin and you were reminded of that whenever she spoke of Vickie’s laughter over the muppet joke and how genuine it was and how she wanted to ask her out but couldn’t bring herself to do so while your heart broke but each time into smaller and smaller pieces that sooner or later it would be proven too difficult to fix.
You put distance between the two of you recently to save yourself but just like the old saying about how the heart growing fonder with distance. It also didn’t help that Robin took notice of this and began trying to Weasel her way back into your life by any means necessary, you even avoided going to Family Video all together because even if she wasn’t there Steve would be there anyways to tell her of your visitation which would only make it more evident to her that she was the one you were avoiding. Whenever you were at school you’d have earphones in so you wouldn’t be bothered or pretend that you had after school clubs to attend when everyone who knew you knew that was bullshit; You never put in the effort to join any club that suited your hobbies. Yet there was always one place you couldn’t avoid her without making a scene; the cafeteria.
“Hey y/n/n.” Robin greeted as she slid into the seat next to yours, smiling briefly at you before beginning to eat her lunch while you only took small bites of yours. “Hey Robin.” You replied halfheartedly as you tried to look anywhere else other then her and decided to hone in on the window across from you that showed the field where several students were chasing in their chance to soak up the sunlight whilst it still lasted. Robin knew something was off and her smile faded to that of a concerned frown. Usually you would’ve called her Robin-hood or birdie, general knock-offs of her name but something felt different to Robin it didn’t feel right in the slightest. Placing her hand on your shoulder and leaning in she whispered, “Hey are you alright? You don’t look like your usual self.” You hated how you practically melted under her touch and how your chest warmed at her concerns of your well-being but your mind forced you to remember that she was only doing so because you were her friend, nothing more and that you shouldn’t read so deeply into it when it’s nothing more then what it appears on the surface.
“Actually I’m not feeling so good,” you rushed out as you removed her hand from your shoulder and began to stand up from your chair, shrugging your bag onto your shoulder as Robin only looked at you with worry in her eyes, “I’m just gonna go get some fresh air, catch ya later.” Without letting her get a word in you practically sprinted towards the doors of the cafeteria with no real destination and down the halls until you found yourself outside, beneath the shade of the school building before bringing yourself to sitting down just near the entrance with your back against the wall, knees pressed against your chest, feeling utterly lost. “When is it my time to be loved, to be selfish with someone instead of relinquishing my happiness for others to be happy?” You whimpered, allowing the tears to finally fall onto the fabric of your jeans; wanting nothing more then to just will your feelings for Robin away but you knew better then anyone that it wouldn’t be that easy. That your feelings would just only fester and linger painfully until they found a new somebody to latch themselves onto.
It was painful but there wasn’t exactly anything you could physically do. You were too caught up in your failed attempt of gaining a love life to notice that Eddie Munson was standing by the doorway after having followed you out of the cafeteria when he noted the distraught and disheveled look you had when walking past his table that he felt that it was his duty to at least check on you and potentially stop you from doing something stupid and harmful; He just didn’t expect to come across you weeping to yourself. Eddie wouldn’t consider himself the best at comforting people but he would at least try. For you. To bring back that smile he’d catch glimmers of now and then whenever he had the golden opportunity.
“Hey, are you alright?” You quickly wiped your tears away with your hands before looking over at the voice to see Eddie’s brown eyes peer into your own with the same concern as Robin’s. “Yeah, I’m-“ “that was a rhetorical question, I could tell you weren’t because if you were you wouldn’t have rushed out of the cafeteria looking like someone had just ripped your heart out from your chest.” Eddie cut you off as he made himself comfortable next to you, shoulder brushing against shoulder, thigh brushing against thigh. “Eddie I assure you I’m fine.” Eddie scoffed indignantly, “bullshit.” He says softly and you knew that your excuses weren’t going to cut it for Eddie. You didn’t know him that well but you knew him enough to know that he wasn’t as much of a freak as everyone claimed him to be and that in fact he’s quite sweet and caring and a bit of a doofus.
“Fine I’m not okay, I’m just dealing with the fact that my unrequited crush on my friend will now and forever will be unrequited. Happy.” You snapped before bringing your attention to your hands and tear stained jeans. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to snap I just-“ you sighed, bringing your hands to your face as you tried to relieve yourself of the built up stress and tension. “Hey, it’s alright don’t apologise for how you feel, besides whoever your feelings are unrequited towards aren’t worth your affection. Oh and stupid because even though we don’t know each other that well enough to be considered friends I think your pretty cool.” Eddie rubbed the back of his neck as he tried to offer you some comfort and firmly believed that he was probably failing at even attempting to do that too. You on the other hand began to find some comfort in Eddie and the fact that he found you cool was enough to bring a small smile to your face as the two of you sat there for a while longer in silence before you brought your head against his shoulder, causing Eddie to flinch at the contact but relax soon after seeing that it was you that was touching his shoulder and let a small smile grace his lips.
“You know I ah…I meant it when I said that you’re cool.” Eddie admitted after awhile sheepishly.“I’d hope so, i wouldn’t want you to spout sentimental crap and not mean it just to spare my feelings and all that shit.” you chuckled finding him quite humorous even in the most shittiest of moments. It made you truly appreciate Eddie and everything he is that it just made you wish that during this time you could’ve been carelessly living it up with him doing god knows what instead of metaphorically pulling out your hair over something that was never going to become reality. Looking back at it now you really could’ve saved yourself the trouble. Eddie looked at you with an offended look, “you really think I would just say that shit to just anyone as if it’s gospel? Shit y/n I thought you would’ve viewed me differently then group me together with those fake fucks.” You laughed a little harder as you found yourself resting against Eddie even more as tears of happiness escaped the corners of your eyes.
“Holy shit Eddie I hadn’t laughed that hard in fuck knows how long.” You wiped the tears from your eyes as you started at him and his deep brown eyes, the pain in your chest was no longer there and in its place was akin to a wake fluffy blanket of comfort. “You didn’t have to come cheer me up you know.” You added, just about ready to send him back to the cafeteria to his friends when he just kept looking at you as though he could see you instead of through you like Robin. “Don’t know what your talking about,” Eddie shrugged, “I came here of my own fruition. No one asked me to come after you I did that because I genuinely cared for your well-being and wanted to do anything I could to make it that little bit better.” He admitted as he brought a hand to yours, squeezing it gingerly as he smiled softly at you. Seeing you for who you were and not who you could possibly be for his benefit. “Well you defiantly did just that Ed,” you squeezed his hand reassuring him of his valiant efforts, “you defiantly did. You really took my mind off of things that I needed to separate myself from and I don’t know how I could repay you.”
Eddie’s eyes softened at your words and not before long a though appeared in his head and he was quick to stand to his feet, pulling you up along with him as he began to walk you through the front of school, completely ignoring the fact that the school day was far from over; you didn’t question it though as you’d rather be away from your problems with Eddie then confront them. Eddie was the escapism you greatly needed. He was your escapism from the unforgiving reality.

Summary: When Amelia Hargrove came out as gay to her family… lets just say some didn’t have to good of a reaction. When they’re finally reunited things become a little complicated.
——————————————————————————————————
California: 1981
You and Billy were getting ready to head out to a party at one of your friend's houses for the night and you crush Samantha Jenkins will be there tonight. You are hoping for a very lucky game of spin the bottle tonight or seven minutes in heaven. You were quickly applying your favorite color of eye shadow to your eye lids for the night. It was glittery. You smiled at yourself in the mirror, you can't wait for this party tonight. You and Billy have been looking forward to it all week.
"You ready Billy!" You shout to him through the bathroom door.
“Yeah give me a minute!”
“Really?!” You complained. “Billy you have hogged the bathroom for the past hour! If you could smell any more like a new car I’d sell you to the lot!”
“Hey! Looking good takes time!” He responded.
“I swear you’re more of a woman then I am sometimes… prissy bitch…” you mumbled.
The door shot open with you and Billy staring at each other. “What’d you say little shit?”
‘Oh no…’ you take off down your hallway to out run Billy. You’re jumping over tables and chairs to avoid him. He is hot on your tail. Until you sprint back into yours and Max’s shared room. She looks you to you with wide eyes. Max and her mom have only lived with you guys for a year now. They both quickly learned the dynamic of the Hargrove real soon.
Max knew your were different. She knew you would stare at the same girls Billy would stare at. She didn’t quiet get it. She thought other girls were weird. She also didn’t get why you and Billy were always so hush hush around your dad. Both you and Billy would always become more quiet when he comes around. She wasn’t completely dumb; she saw the bruises you and Billy suffered from your father. She saw the bond the you and your brother had, she wished so desperately that you would have the same with her. You are opening up to her more. You took her to the skate park so she could practice her tricks and show you. You kept Billy at bay when it came to him being mean to her, and you were probably opening him up to her being big brother to her. You were like a glue to the family, as much as your father dislikes you.
Billy started smacking you with one of your throw pillows cause of what you said to him. You are laughing non stop. Once the beating of the pillow was over you turned to Max.
“You sure you’ll be fine?” You asked.
“Yeah, I’ll be fine.” She answered straightly.
“You know we’ll stay if you want us to.” You reassured.
“You will…” Billy scoffed. You went an smacked his arm. “Ow…” he said while rubbing it.
“We’ll be down the street Max if you need us, and we’ll be back before Susan and Dad. Alright.” You smiled at her. She smiled back to you.
"See ya Madmax!" You said before bolting out the door and locking it to go to the party down the road in your neighborhood.
"Why are you nice to her?" Billy questioned.
"Um cause she lives with us now and she's just a kid?" You answered with confusion in your voice. You never understood Billy's dislike for Max, but you're trying to fix that.
"Listen I know you don't like Susan or Max, but they're kinda stuck with dad now." You said to Billy, "And we've been stuck with him of the past 4 years since mom left..." Billy looked to you with saddened eyes. When mom left it hit you pretty hard. You really missed her just like he did. But after all the calls you both knew she was never coming back. Billy changed for the worse became for ruff and violent. You ,however, stayed the way you are. A sweet smile on your face, always willing to help someone, and just being you. You were way better than Billy ever could be.
"I got ya baby sis, I'll try." Billy answered.
"Good." You smiled to him. "And what is this baby sister nonsense you act like I'm not only 3 minutes younger then you."
"Oh sorry 3 blissful minutes before your crying ugly face came into the world."
"Oh crying I see, I guess I'll tell everyone how you cried when I gave you your earring that you "toughened through"." You laughed. All Billy did was push you into a grass ditch as you laughed even harder.
"Piece of shit." Billy grinned.
"Get my fucking skirt dirty, and I'll bury you stuff in the backyard again." You threaten.
That's when you both arrived to the party, a quick 10 minute walk. You get into the party, starting off with some beer. You drank for about 30 minutes, dancing with your friends, shouting your heart out to the music, and over all enjoying your time at the party.
Then the moment you have been hating for all night has arrived. Spin the bottle. You were so hyped.
"Hey I'm gonna smoke a cigarette outside with Jackson." Billy said. You nod at him and he was on his way out. You take your seat in the circle of teens. Samantha right across from you. You were so ready. The spinning has begun. Chris had to kiss Jenny. Charolette had to kiss Scott. Andy had to kiss Charlie C. The spinning kept going and going. When ever the guys landed on other guys they all made a big deal out of it. But when a girl landed on another girl they all cheered for it.
'Ugh, horny pigs... can't even last past 5 minutes' you sneered. That was when you saw the bottle turn in your direction, landing on you. You look up and make eye contact with Samantha.
'GOD IS GOOD!' You cheered in your thoughts.
You stood straight on your knees as did Samantha. You both leaned in to each other. Your lips connecting. It was like a flower blooming in the spring, this was way better than any guy you kissed in other spin the bottles. You knew you liked girls more than guys, but this was a whole other level. You swore you could've continued kissing Samantha when...
"What the fuck are you doing!!" An all to familiar voice shouted. Dragging you by the collar of your shirt out the door of the party to the front yard. You are shoved out only to be met with a straight faced Billy. You stand next to him as you face your dad. He was red, he was raging.
"Walk home. NOW!" Your Dad shouted. You saw some classmates laughing cause you both got caught. The difference is if they got caught they get grounded, but we get beaten into the ground. The walk home was silent. You don't think the air has ever been more still. When you both returned home, you were sat down on the couch with your Dad standing before you menacingly staring down at the both of you.
"So you both left your little sister home alone to go act like a bunch of dumbasses at a party!" He shouted.
"We're sorry... dad." You whispered out. You felt a hard smack to your head from him.
"You better be you stupid bitch!" He growled.
"It wasn't her idea, I convinced her to go with me dad." Billy tried to take the blame for you. You heard the smack go across Billy's face. You just stared down at your hands.
"I come home find Maxine by herself." He started. "While you both are at a party getting drunk, smoking, and did god know fucking what else." Neither of you said anything. Your dad grabbed you by your shoulders shaking them up to make you look at him.
"Stop looking down like a pussy!" He shouted into your face. your eyes begin to whelm with hot tears.
"Hey it's not her fault dad!" Billy shouted at him. Wrong move. Billy was dragged to his room. You heard the curses and beating from the living room. You just stared straight ahead as you heard your brother be beaten in the room next. Just for defending you from your Dad's wrath.
You heard slow boot steps come your way. You stiffened, more tears started to form in your eye going down you cheeks, your blood rushing, everything was going way to slow. Your dad now stood next to were you were sitting. You didn't look up to him; you kept your tear filled eyes forward.
"So. You're a faggot?" Your dad questioned. You said nothing. Not wanting to answer. Your father's hand went threw your hair a gripped it tight. You swore he was going to pull it out.
"Are you some faggot!" He yelled into your ear. You were now crying, the dam has been broken. Tears were streaming down your cheeks. No words were coming out if your mouth. It felt like you were choking.
"Kissing some girl! God your mother would hate you!" He kept shouting at you. He dragged you to the door of your bedroom an slammed you into it. Staring down at you.
"You are fucking pathetic, worthless dyke." He growled to you. There was nothing but hatred in his eyes to you. You slowly turn the knob of the door to your room. But you were quickly slapped across the face before he left your alone. You make your way into your room for the night, crying yourself to sleep in your bed.
A week has passed since that Friday night. Your dad kept saying you were spreading a sickness with everything your touched. Billy tried to protect you the best he could, he took every blow for you. And you patched him up every time. Max was forbidden from talking to you and you couldn't do anything about it. But hopefully today things will be a bit more chilled out.
What you didn't know was that Neil sent Susan, Billy, ad Max out to run some "errands" for dinner tonight. When you got back home from your friends house you saw Susan's car gone, only your dad's truck in the driveway. You walk through the front door to your house.
"Amelia!" You flinched at the sudden noise of your dad's voice. You walk over to the kitchen where you found your dad.
"Go pack a bag or two, me and Susan are taking all of you on a small vacation to the city for the next week." He said. "Susan and the rest of them already left."
"Really?" You said quietly.
"Yes." He said firmly. " Go pack your shit and grab some money cause I'm not buying any shit for you." You walked to your bedroom and packed a duffle bag full of clothes. You grabbed the little money you have hidden away in your room. Your dad was already in his truck waiting for you. You put your stuff in the back an put your self up in the front seat.
Neil made his way out of the drive way, the last time you'll ever see that house again.
. . .
"Neil! We're back!" Susan yelled. She looked around an saw no sign of her husband. She went to the garage thinking he moved his car there but saw nothing.
"Billy!" Susan shouted.
"What." Billy answered bluntly.
"Where is your sister?" From the statement Billy rushed to your room to see you not in there and some of your clothes gone.
"No." Billy said. "Nononono, NO!" He was looking all over the house for you. You were no where to be found. You were gone. Just like his mom. His dad has taken you away from him.
All Billy could do was cry in his room. His twin was gone. His baby sister was gone and he doesn't know where. He failed to keep you safe from if dad.
Max watched all of it unfold in front of her.
. . .
You have been in the car for a straight hour now. You were looking out the window at the desert. Nothing for miles. Neil pulled into a motel parking lot.
"We're staying here for the night." He said as he parked the car. You got out of the car with your duffle bag on your side. You made your way to the front desk with your dad were he got the key. You weren't dumb, this was all sketchy.
"Here go put your stuff in the room." Neil said putting the key into your hand. You nodded to him. Making your way to the room opening the door to the empty room. You look around confused. You dropped your bag on the ground, putting the key in your pocket.
Then you heard his truck start up. You walk over confused looking at him.
"Dad! What are you doing?" You questioned. That's when he started to pulled out of his parking space. "DAD!" You start to run after his truck. Like some sick joke he slowed enough for you to pillion the lever of the door.
"Dad! STOP, Please!" You were shouting to him. Panicked tear started to whelm your eyes. He started to speed up. You keeping pace with the truck smacking on the back part.
"I'm sorry! Dad I'm SORRY!" You shouted. "Listen I'll never disobey you again I promise. DAD PLEASE!" You cried as you tripped on the uneven ground below you as your dad drove away. Leaving you in the dirt crying.
"Billy... Billy!" You yelled out to your brother. You just wanted your big brother. You walked back to the motel. Going to the room that you had to stay in now.
Your dad has abandoned you, just like your mom. Tears were going down your cheeks. You sat in the floor of the room for a good ten minutes till a knock on the door scared you. You hopped up hoping by some miracle your brother found you. You open the door to only meet the smoking front desk lady from earlier. Your smiled dropped.
"Hey sweetie." Her gruff voice said. "I saw what just happened and I'm sorry..." You said nothing to her. You just stared at her sniffling. She sighed at the sight of you, "Listen I'm only doing this once cause you remind me of my granddaughter, I'll give you a ride to the bus station and you can get a ticket back home." You nodded at her. You gave her the room key back and grabbed your bag.
Just like she said she drove you to the bus station to get a ticket home. She even gave you a hundred bucks to help with anything else. The front desk lady gave you a gruff but soft goodbye as she left you at the bus station. You walk in with your bag and money to the front desk of the station.
"Hello miss, what can I do for you today?" The desk worker said.
"I need a ticket." You said plainly , no emotion left. The desk worker just stared at you.
"Where to honey?"
"Santa-" You stopped for a minute. You didn't want to go back to Santa Monica, nothing would be left for you there. The message was made pretty clear to you.
"Santa Monica, honey?"
"No." You stated, "What's your furthest ticket?"
"Umm." The worker started typing in their computer for a second. "Our furthest ticket is... Hawkins Indiana."
"I'll take that." You said, giving them the money and taking your ticket to Indiana.
Hawkins Indiana: 1984
It has been three, four by next fall, years since you left everything in California behind. When you arrived to Hawkins you had little money and what you had in your duffle bag with you. You are now 17 turning 18 next March. You think about Billy everyday. But with what that has happened you can't dwell on things. You live with a woman named Joey Byers and her two sons.
When you arrived in Hawkins at 14 Joyce Byers found you walking the dirt road trying to find someplace dry to find to sleep for the night. Joyce took you in an let you stay the night with her. After that night you found yourself living with her for two years. When everything happened with Will accrued you were there for her and Johnathan when they needed.
You helped look for Will in search parties. You helped the boys hide Eleven in Mikes basement. You helped Steve, Johnathan, and Nancy take down a demagorgan. You're gonna be honest, you've probably faced death more times with Neil then any interdimensional creature.After everything that happened last year you started to pick up more around the house. You didn't want to burden Joyce since she took you in. You work at the music shop in town. You put 50% of your paychecks to rent or bills at the Byers home.
Joyce has tried many times to talk to your about your family back in California, hell even brought Hopper out to try a crack ya. You never budge. Hopper has concluded that, "You've been through something and now they're dead to you." The only response you gave was "Not all of them..." Nothing else after that. You have a new life here and you're not going to have it ruined by your past. It wasn't a secret that you were gay. It was very well known fact in town that you were into women. Yeah some kids yelled slurs to you but none of it effected you. You were actually able to meet another lesbian in town, well a closeted one. Her name was Robin Buckley, you met her in your art class when you were a sophomore and she was a freshmen. You both got along pretty well. She was actually really pretty you thought but since you never actually dated a girl you were nervous in telling her your feelings.
The date was October 28, 1984 Halloween was this Friday. You were gonna take Will and the boys trick or treating.

steddie au where Eddie is here since s1 is good but hear me out, I want an au where Robin and Steve are besties since the beginning
don't know how they would have become friends but I want to see the whole highschool confused by their relationship, Steve learning not to be an asshole thanks to Robin, Robin realising she's a lesbian and immediately coming out to Steve in the school bathroom, him being supportive but still teasing her on her crush on muppet Tammy every time they're in the same class, Steve going to her after the fight with the demogorgon and her patching him up while he tells her everything that happened even if he agreed to not tell anybody, Robin being here to comfort him after his breakup with Nancy, Steve showing up to her band practice cause she was doubting herself, Robin defending Steve against Billy when he bullied him, them adopting Dustin together and then all the kids, them fighting the demodogs, them getting their first job at scoops ahoy thinking nothing bad would happen here and them being confronted to the events of s3 already being platonic soulmates

IN-N-OUT Harringrove Adventures!
Pt-2! Here is pt-1! Enjoy!
….
“Yeah uhm…can I get a… uhm..” The girl said as she looked at the menu behind Billy. Billy slumps more onto the counter. She’s been here for ten fucking minutes trying to decide what to eat. It’s 3 simple fucking choices, how is this hard?
“Uhm..I’ve been trying to lose weight, so y'know it’s hard..” she giggles. Vickie, luckily butts in, “We understand, ma’am. Take your time.” But it was already too late for Billy. He snarls back, “If you’re losing weight, then why are you here? It’s In-N-Out, not fucking Weight Watchers.”
Vickie groans and leans onto the counter, burying her head in her hands. She kicks Billy behind the counter, picking up her head to see the other girl with wide eyes on her face.
“Fine. I’ll get a Double-Double, no onions.” The girl huffs and slams down $10 bucks on the counter.
“Extra onions, got it.” Billy winks and smiles, the girl scoffs and walks away, sitting down at a nearby table. “Your number’s 59. Have a good day.”
“Billy, seriously?” Vickie pouts. “We’re supposed to-“
“Treat the customers with respect and dignity, yeah, yeah, I know.” Billy eye rolls, ducking the money into the cashier, “It ain’t my fault that Diet Cheater can’t handle jokes.” “Whatever.” Vickie eye rolls and goes back to her cashier.
Another customer comes in, a group of friends. Some of them go to Vickie, others go to Billy.
“Yeah, get me five number 2’s, a Flying Dutchman, and 3 large root beer floats.” One of the friends say to Billy. “That it?” Billy says. The guy nods. “$31.30, please.” The guy pays and all his friends follow him to a table.
Steve puts a double-double burger down onto the counter. He shouts, “Number 59? Double-double, hold the onions?”
Diet Cheater comes up to the counter and grabs the burger. She glares at Billy one more time before leaving.
Steve notices and chuckles faintly, turning to Billy. “Jesus, man, what did you do to piss her off?” “I made a ‘somehow’ insulting joke.” Billy shrugs, facing Steve and leaning onto the counter again. “What do you mean somehow?” Steve arches a brow while crossing his arms, his greasy spatula dangling in two fingers on one hand.
“He called her a Diet Cheater for being here, eating fast food.” Vickie says and heads into the back storage room.
“Billy, seriously?” Billy eye rolls and then, Tina walks by and groans and slumps into the counter, her head laying on Billy’s cashier. Billy smirks, “Hate your job, too?” “Mhm.” Tina whines and picks up her head a little, “Why did Mr. O’Malley put me as a Dining Service person? I applied for Fry Worker! Patrick, can we switch?” Tina says, and Patrick comes by with a bucket full of hot sizzling fries, “Nope, sorry.” And he walks away.
“Hey, at least you aren’t Carol.” Steve shrugs, and everyone nods.
“That’s true.” Tina sighs and stands up, sighing again when she looks out the window and sees Eddie playing catch with Andy with a stone outside in the Drive Thru line. “Honestly, how is Ed not fired yet?” “I have no fucking idea.” Billy shrugs. …
“Steve hurry up with the tomatoes!” Jonathan shouts as he runs across the back room, trying to carry all the cups in his hand to restock them.
“What do you think I’m trying to do?!” Steve yells back, cutting the tomatoes faster in a panic.
“Where the hell is Number 119’s order?!” Tina shrieks through the crowded dining room.
“Patrick, you burnt the fries!!” Robin yells and turns to Patrick, who has an innocent look on his face, “My bad, Robin! I thought it was supposed to cook for 20 minutes, not 5!” “Seriously, this is why new people with new roles should NOT have the weekend shift!” Robin groans and puts in a new batch of fries into the fryer.
“Hello there, welcome to In-N-Out, what would you like?” Billy says as calm as he can, looking at the older man in front of him.
“Just a strawberry smoothie, please.” The man says.
“STEVE, HURRY UP!” Jonathan shouts from behind, tripping on his shoelace and onto the floor, the cups clattering all over him. “Shit!”
“I’m fucking trying, Jonathan!” Steve exclaims, cutting the tomatoes in a faster pace.
“Alright, your number is 130, we’ll call you when it’s ready.” Billy hands him the receipt, and then runs away from the counter, jumping over Jonathan and scooping a cup from the floor.
Billy fills up the cup with the strawberry smoothie, and puts the lid on it. He then runs back to the counter.
At the same time, a wet sliced tomato falls out of Steve’s grasp, falling to the floor. Billy steps on it, and he slips, causing the drink to spill all over his white work jeans.
Yup. This was a causal weekend shift for everyone. Panic, anxiety, and stress all put into this small restaurant, now crowded with at least ninety people, plus another twenty in the drive thru line.
“Steve!” Billy groans in annoyance as he picks himself up, then the cup.
“Sorry, dude.” Steve sighs and helps Billy up. “Great. Now my fucking work pants are stained.” “I said sorry, what more do you want?” “He wants a kiss, Steve.” Heather smirks and walks back to the Drive Thru Window. “Guys, get back to work!” Jonathan says while he restocks the cups. They both nod, and they go back to the front counter, and grill. This shift just gets better and better.

Crush- Robin x fem!reader PT2
Tumblr media
It has been weeks and you still haven't visited Scoops. For the most part, you stayed locked up in your room, too sad to actually do anything.
Who knew heartbreak could feel this bad.
Robin called and tried to talk to you in the halls, but you couldn't bring yourself to talk to her; if you did you feared you would burst out crying and not be able to stop.
You knew being gay was going to be hard. It's not like you could just talk about your crush out loud. But you didn't know it was going to be this hard.
Falling in love with a straight girl, how stupid.
Even though you didn't talk to her, you still admired her from afar. The way her short hair stuck to her face during gym, or how her fingers moved so delicately while playing the trumpet.
And her eyes, god those eyes. You would gaze into them every chance you got, but quickly looking away before you got caught.
It was sad, how head over heels you were for this girl. If she asked you to fetch her the moon, you would be on the next flight to space.
The bell rang and snapped you out of your daydream. You started packing up your stuff but someone stopped you.
You already knew who it was before you even looked up at them.
"Y/N, we need to talk"
'Shit'
You didn't reply right away. You were too busy racking your brain for some kind of excuse.
"Y/N" Her voice was softer than before, a certain type of longing present in the way she said your name.
You looked up at her, your eyes meeting her perfect blue ones. You caved almost instantly.
How could you say no to her?
"Ok," Your voice was soft and quiet. The corners of her lips pulled up slightly when you said this. Nobody else would have noticed it, but you did and it filled your stomach with butterflies.
"Meet me at Scoops" That was the last thing she said before leaving you to sit alone in the classroom, too love sick to even move.
After school, you made your way to the mall. Anxiety was starting to build up and you almost turned back. But your mind went back to the way she smiled when you agreed to talk to her and suddenly you were walking faster.
You walked cautiously into Scoops. You have been here so many times, but this time it felt different. The air was thick and your heart rate was picking up.
Your eyes wandered over to the counter, where you saw Steve flirting with a group of girls.
This made your blood boil.
How dare he flirt with other people while he was dating Robin. You wanted to punch him square in the jaw, but you clenched your fists and took a deep breath.
Steve noticed you standing there and called out your name. You jumped a bit, not expecting to be called out so soon.
You walked over to him, your eyes boring into his. He gave you a weird look, not understanding where this attitude came from.
You were always a nice person, even to people who weren't always nice to you. You believed in second chances, but Steve had crossed the line.
You didn't bother saying hi, it would only make you more pissed to watch him smile and talk like he did nothing wrong.
"Where's Robin?" Your tone was sharp and demanding, shocking Steve.
"She's uh, in the back" You didn't thank him but just walked through the door and into the small back room.
Your tough demeanor broke when you saw her sitting there. Her hands were folded on the table and her leg was bouncing. She always did that she got nervous.
"H-hey" You stuttered, slowly moving closer to the girl. Her head snapped up and her eyes lit up.
"Hey" Her voice was quiet and sounded sad. You sat down on the chair across from her, looking anywhere but at the girl in front of you.
The silence was thick and heavy, making it hard to breathe.
Robin was the first one to break the silent game you two were unknowingly playing.
"Why are you ignoring me?" She jumped straight to the elephant in the room. You took a deep breath, preparing yourself. There was no way you could keep lying to her about it.
You had to tell her the truth.
Your friendship was doomed anyway, whether you told her or not. You rubbed your sweaty hands against your jeans. The action released some of your pent-up anxiety.
"Y/N" The way she said your name sent butterflies to your stomach. You hated how she made you feel like this.
But craved it at the same time.
You took a long, deep breath in. Trying to find the right words to say.
"Robin," You let out a shaky breath, tears already threatening to spill. Robin noticed them and rested her hand on top of yours. Your breathing slowed down, as you tried to focus on Robin's warm hand.
"I'm sorry for ignoring you. The reason why is going to seem stupid and weird. It will probably ruin our friendship, but I can't keep lying to you" She gave you a reassuring squeeze. Asking you to continue.
"Robin, I-I love you. I love you more than a friend" Robin almost fell over in her chair. She has been waiting to hear those words come out of your mouth since you met.
"Y/N-" You cut her off and continued rambling. You did that a lot when you got nervous. Your brain was running a mile a minute and your mouth desperately trying to keep up.
Causing you to ramble.
"I know it's weird, and it's fine if you don't want to be friends anymore. I understand. I would never want to get in the way of you and Steve-"
"Hold on, Steve?" Robin as quizzically.
"Why would that matter?" You started at her, a strange look on your face.
"Well you guys are dating so-" To say Robin was baffled would be an understatement.
"Steve? you think I am dating Steve?" She laughed, not at you but at the thought of dating Steve "the hair" Harrington.
"Wait so you're not dating Steve?" Your lower lip was jutted out and your eyebrows furrowed. Robin laughed again and shook her head.
"No, I am not dating Steve" Emmbaresment rushed through your veins.
The whole reason you started ignoring her in the first place was that you thought she was dating Steve. But you were wrong the whole time.
Now you just looked stupid.
It got silent again and like before Robin was the first to break it.
"Hey, um. I love you too, as more than a friend" Now it was your turn to almost fall out of your seat.
Robin Buckley loved you as more than a friend.
"Really?" She smiled and nodded her head.
"Really"
The two of you stared at each other. Suddenly a force started pulling you two together, like magnets. You leaned over the table, drawing closer to her face. Your eyes fluttered shut as your lips met hers.
It was a euphoric experience. The way her lips danced on yours. How she smiled into the kiss.
God, it was perfect.
You pulled back and stared into her eyes. They were swirling with emotions and you assumed yours were too.
"What?" She asked, a grin on her face.
"You have the most beautiful eyes"
I finally finished it! I hope everyone enjoyed it and let me know if I made any mistakes. I wasn't sure how to end it so I hope it's still good:) have a great day or night<33

You, Steve and Robin being each other’s wingmen;
you and Steve being robin’s when it came to Vickie, going to pep rallies per her request, poking fun at Tammy Thompson, and making sure that she didn’t say anything that would ruin her chances whilst also hyping her up on the car ride there which only ends in Robin and Steve having their little arguments over the word boobies.
You and Robin being Steve’s whenever a beautiful/and or handsome person walks into Family Video, hyping him up, telling half-truth stories to make Steve look good and hopefully score a date, praising his skills and qualities without it coming across as anything other then platonic because to Robin Steve was the annoying sibling who’d stand in the doorway not speaking before leaving.
Robin and Steve being yours whenever you were talking with Eddie/Gareth/ anyone you were currently crushing on, facepalming from afar whenever you indirectly embarrassed yourself and would visibly cringe while giving you a halfhearted double thumbs up. There’s no doubt that they would playfully mock you afterwards as you groan into your arms, calling yourself an idiot as Steve and Robin sympathetically patted you on the back whilst agreeing that you were indeed an idiot but that’s one of the reasons why they love you.
You’d three would sit on the counter at Family Videos with the sign flipped to ‘closed’ as you laughed and bantered with one another, arms flung over each others shoulders, enjoying each others company and damning yourselves for not finding each other sooner in life if it meant having a friendship as great as yours.

Steve Harrington
Eddie Munson
Robin Buckley *only platonic x male reader*

{Love Languages: How They Express Love}
Tumblr media
Program: Just some brainrot on how I think they show their love :)
Counselors: Argyle, Robin, Jonathan, Billy, Steve, Eddie, and Nancy
Genre: Fluff, Headcanon
How They Feel Loved | Camp Upside Down Masterlist
Argyle -> Gift Giving
Everyday, he stops by your house to present to his lil pick of the day. He's kind of like a crow in that shiny, unique, cool items catch his eye, and he needs to pick them up. One time it was a split golfball from when he and Jonathan when to the junkyard. Or another time he found a pretty rock and made you a necklace. A lot of the time it's a small bouquet of wildflowers. He just adores the beaming soft expression you look at him with.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Robin -> Physical Touch
Soft hand grazes during spring walks in the park. Kissing the crook of your neck when you two cuddle during movie night. A hand at the small of your back during get togethers as she gently rubs her thumb across your shirt. She may trip over her words at times, but she is utterly obsessed and in love with you. She just wants to remind you of her feelings whenever she has the chance, but does so in intimate acts of devotion.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jonathan -> Acts of Service
He will offer everything in his capability to make you happy. Driving you to campus early in the morning before going to the office. Meal prepping for the week, because he knows the two of you have a busy schedule. Dropping off a report if you forgot it at home and need it for a business meeting. He is you're number one supporter and will do anything to help you succeed and reach your goals.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Billy -> Quality Time
He knows that between work and school as well as your schedule, he doesn't spend nearly enough time with you as he wants. When your schedules do align together, he is there completely, and you have his complete attention. Dates are always a combination of what both of you want to do. A drive in the Camaro to pick up milkshakes to watch sunset. Cuddling with a movie on in the background as the two of you just chat. He just wants to be near you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Steve -> Physical Touch
Cannot keep his hands off of you. He literally just wants to put you in his pocket and carry you around all day. Hand on your thigh when driving to errands or to hang out with friends. Pressing his face into your middle when you lie down at night and falls asleep to your breathing. Little pecks that melt into a soft make out session while cooking breakfast. He craves your touch and wants to pour his whole heart into every moment.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Eddie -> Giving Gifts
An artist needs to share their work to be able to live, and Eddie cannot not stop creating for you. Love letters tucked into the visor of your car to greet you in the morning. Poems dedicated to your radiant being that paint you in the most beautiful light. Creates an NPC in the campaign that resembles you, so that you're even there for Hellfire. He designs and prints your own Corroded Coffin band shirt that no one else gets to have. It's all for you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nancy -> Words of Affirmation
She is desperately trying to improve herself and show that she adores you. So over time, she becomes more aware of the effects words have on people. Especially the pretty blush that tickles your cheeks when you compliments your outfit for the day. Or how your smile shines when she encourages you to pursue your passion. Especially when you sigh her name after she whispers in your ear how well your doing in a stressful situation. Constant reminders of how she loves you as you are and who you will become.

So I saw that in s5 they’re planning to put similar groups together as in s1, and I was thinking of the post that said like ‘el and will are interchangeable’, which lead to me thinking of this:
Will getting to be with the whole party again (+ max and Erica!!)
El being teamed up with hopper and joyce, who in s1 worked together (and Joyce was talking with will)
Robin being added to the Nancy/Jonathan/Steve team (and a new argyle 😏)
I ofc also want to see more of el with Lucas/Dustin/max, as well as the byer family team up again, and more interactions between the older teens and the new teens (specifically will and Robin)
but yeah I just want to see more of these dynamics!! somehow there’s never enough time to explore them all 😭
