    Summary

    An unexpected tragedy in Robin's life leads to a strange arrangement to keep her in Hawkins: namely, a marriage of convenience between herself and Steve Harrington.

    ~

    “Nancy. Steve and I don’t engage in anything that could remotely be construed as romantic.”

    “I saw you sitting in his lap and feeding him pizza with your bare hands last weekend.”

    “What’s a little lap-sitting and pizza-sharing between friends?” she says dismissively.

    “Not the norm.” She shakes her head. “If you’re really just friends, that’s fine, but I’m worried Steve won’t see it that way, and, well… I don’t want you to break his heart.”

    “Not a heartbreaker,” Robin promises. “It’s sweet, though, you looking out for him.”

    “Funny how it seems like we keep trying to set each other up with him,” Nancy offers to lighten the mood. “I guess neither of us really know what he needs.”

    “I guess,” Robin says tightly, but she’s pretty sure she’s known what he needs since that night in the bathroom. She’s pretty sure he does too.

    Summary

    Inexplicably, Steve's hand reaches out to touch the carved letters that don’t even spell out Eddie’s real name. “Fuck. Shitty first date. I mean, if you want it to be. Otherwise, it’s just a talk. Guess you’ll have to tell me sometime.” For a heartbeat, he breathes there, pretends, between inhales and exhales, that the scent of Eddie’s cheap cologne, something spicy and soothing, always mixed with earthy weed, twines into the crests of the wind.

    Murmurs after a fashion, “I think he just misses you. And I miss you, and I miss him. And if you were here, you could roll your eyes with me and say something dumb, and I’d huff, and he’d groan, and we’d laugh. It’s all just... It’s all just broken now."

    ---

    Summary

    “Alright Dustin–” Steve rasps, and some distant part of his brain registers it, the change from Henderson to Dustin, but Dustin’s not done. He looks at Steve, and all he can see is Eddie.

    He rears his arm back and punches Steve right on the jaw.

    Or, a character study of Dustin throughout Vol. 2

    Summary

    Richard Buckley was not a dumb man, and it didn't take a genius to realize that his daughter and Steve Harrington meant the world to each other.

    Six times Robin's father observes her friendship with Steve Harrington over the years.

    It was something he had noticed with them before, something that usually happened when Steve would make her laugh so hard she forgot herself, or when they’d lean toward each other during a conversation like they were part of a universe that only circled each other.

    He wondered if either of them even realized it.
