#Steve doesn’t jump into the relationship right away but he captivates Eddie’s dick enough the curly hair boy is waiting to wait

[sabbathbloodysabbeth]

The joke had started the second day the two started working together. Robin had been in the back room doodling random things all over the white board. Anything from a small lion to a huge rat. She didn’t know anything about Steve Harrington besides he was some preppy jock. Though secretly she had wished for this day of seeing one of those kids with tons of their parents money working at a minimum wage job after she had gotten a really good job herself. So that she could have something over their stupid heads. Though that wasn’t the case with Steve Harrington.

A strange one he is. Everything she had expected had gone down the drain the second she had to listen to a forty five minute conversation with Steve talking on the phone to some kid named Dustin. From what she had gathered Steve enjoyed baby sitting, which was a … shocker. The air was still very much awkward between the two but she had already made it her number one mission to figure out what the hell the other used in his hair. Though as she moves to the front where Steve was currently talking with some blonde she can’t help but raise a eyebrow a little bit.

Leaning up against the counter she watches the boy in front of her do everything right. Watched the girl tuck her hair behind her hair and Robin was jealous. Somehow the other was able to pull the moves on anyone and catch their attention in ways she couldn’t even fathom. It goes like this for a hot minute, and she wasn’t going to lie. She was day dreaming about being Steve Harrington. Being able to actually flirt with any woman she wanted. Freely able to drool over a pair or boobs when ever she wanted without the fear of being run out of town with pitch forks following her.

Then something happens, she doesn’t know what but Steve Harrington blows it. He blows it big as she notices the girls face change into something that she’s never seen targeted towards Steve in her days of high school. Boredom. Thing is Steve was talking about himself. He had sat there and listened to the other in front of him respectfully and then proceeded to only say a few things about himself. Sure you would think the guy would be conceited but no. Everything he said was the basic stuff, in anything he was leaving things out.

“Oh I um- I actually should get going Steven,” the woman says softly interrupting Steve who’s eyes were starting to light up as he talked about maybe hanging out sometime. That light is stomped on and any sparks were made sure to go with it. No risk of any wild fire starting any time soon. Robins face scrunches up a little as she watches Steve stumble over his words letting the other go. Smiling letting her leave before groaning and face planting his face on the counter.

Robin doesn’t know much about relationships but she did know how to read people. Steve Harrington wasn’t just some fling. He was somebody who stuck around and made sure his presence was liked by whoever wanted him. So in that moment she decides to make him her best friend. Not only that, but she was going to help him find some girl that would make him smile brighter then the god damn moon. Moving over she hops over the window and grabs the bored. Righting a You Rule one side and You Suck on the other. She puts it up in the window for the other to see and she makes sure the marker squeaks as she makes a big tally in the right side.

Steve groans face going even more red as he flips her off. Moving and scooping a scoop of ice cream and sets it in a small bowl so he could eat his feelings out. “Man, you really need to get a better type in woman.” Robins voice rasps out a little as she moves sitting on the counter looking at Steve who looks at the other confused.

“What do you mean? I totally blew it!” He was already beating himself up for even mentioning his work hours. He sulks a little more as he takes a bigger bite of his ice cream hoping that maybe he could die from brain freeze. “God I hope I die from brain freeze.” He grumbles looking down at the already melting scoop.

Robin snorts amused as she crosses her arms and gives the other a minute. “Dingus I don’t think you can die from brain freeze, and secondly you were fine. I don’t think she actually expected you to tell her a little bit about yourself, or comment on anything. It seems like she just wanted some dumb jock who would agree with anything she said.” She hums gently as she moves forward starting to wipe down the counter. Ignoring the way the other tenses up a little bit before relaxing.

“You don’t think I’m some dumb jock?” The boy sounds surprised and it sounds like all of the air is taken away from him as he speaks. She looks up at him with a soft smile. Shaking her head with a teasing smile.

“Well I used to think you were, now your just some dumb minimum wage working adult. Anyone who says different is bullshitting you” She pokes back hearing him laugh a little. “But no seriously. Steve this isn’t high-school, you don’t have to flirt with every person that has a decent rack on them. You can just talk right?” She laughs as Steve shakes his head amused flipping her off before he’s moving into the back area. There was just something so alluring about the boy. She may be the most awkward Lesbian ever but she definitely knew she wanted to help find someone for Steve Harrington who wouldn’t crush the others puppy dog heart.

The next few days when Steve flirts with someone and they reject him more tally’s start to add up and Robin would go on rants about how that person wasn’t good enough for him.

“Steve she doesn’t even like ice cream! What monster doesn’t like ice cream? Did she say she was lactose intolerant no! So I will not tolerate ice cream slander in this store. I am a proud sales man god damn it!”

“Dingus- I’m pretty sure she has a boyfriend on the basketball team. If she’s willing to cheat on him then she’s willing to cheat on you!”

“Steve Harrington, you better throw that number away right now. That’s still going on the you suck side. You are pathetic. Absolutely pathetic, she barely even listened to a word you said! You want someone who’s willing to put just as much effort into the relationship as you and she couldn’t be bothered to listen to you. Red flag.”

It goes like this for weeks and Steve just starts to glance over at her when he starts to flirt with a girl. Now he doesn’t flirt with every single one but he does with those who he was kind of interested in. But he wasn’t completely there. None of them rose that spark in him that he wanted and desperately craved. Now if he thinks about flirting with someone he looks at Robin with a curious look wondering if she knew the girl. If not he would try and part way through he would hear the expo marker going squeak and aggressive clunks in the other room.

The two were growing close, close enough to where Steve had gotten to talk with the other more openly. Even if that meant them accidentally eating a weed brownie a coworker left behind and sitting in the stalls of the bathroom laughing their asses off. And somehow the conversations gone serious and they are having one of the first real conversations Steve’s ever had in his life time.

“Steve I am so fucking jealous, I wish I could flirt and touch all of those girls like you do. I want to be in love for the first time, I just want one girl in the crowd that follows you to you know. Look at me?” And oh god Steve thinks he hears the other sniffling. He isn’t prepared for this in the slightest and what the other has said hasn’t processed. He moves over to the other at a comfortable distance. Gently touching her scraped knee.

“Wait why would you want one of them to look at you? You said they were all bitches?” He frowns confused beyond believe. Robin laughs a little bit snot going down her nose before she pulls toilet paper and blows her nose into the few squares.

“You’re right, you attract assholes steve. But I’m- im a lesbian.” Steve couldve sworn he heard the others heart beat all the way over here. He pauses as he scrunches his nose up in thought.

“Ok so if you were Marty and able to would you fuck his mom?”

“Like from back to the future?”

“Yeah?”

“Well- I would fuck your mom first for even coming up with this idea but most likely.” Robin sniffles gently. Rubbing her eyes.

It’s like all the right gears go into the right places because their friendship is like no other. They keep going with the board as a joke of course but they are more in sync then anyone else in the mall.

One day Robins ranting about some new record store taking over one of her favorite stores. Steve’s looking amused as he sits listening to her as if she was reciting the Bible itself. “Come on Robbie, you can find something there if you tried.” He smiles brightly as Robin huffs shaking her head before they both hear the bell going off. Robin grins excitedly forgetting about what she was talking about as Steve groans rock paper scissoring. Steve loses like always and moves himself out front.

He moves and flips his scoop around in his hand before he’s putting in warm water so that it could be ready. He moves looking over at the customer for the first time and he can’t help but freeze. A curly haired boy was fighting with quarters in his hand as he tries to make sure he has the right amount. Robin must know somethings up as she peaks her head through the little window. Looking at the boy and back at steve. She sticks her thumbs up shooing him. And just like that he’s bright red as he relizes she expects him to flirt with this guy. Shaking his head no Robins whisper yelling at him.

“Steven I swear to god all that’s holy I’ll make sure that god himself doesn’t-“

“Am I interrupting something?” The voice is smooth and oh fuck Stevie is totally going to put his charm on. The guy sounded nervous as hell and Steve snaps his head to look at him afraid that he was going to fuck this up.

“No- my coworker is trying to get me fired.” He smiles softly. Looking down seeing the other was now counting Pennie’s. Pennies that slip between the others fingers and fall to the ground. Steve looks confused as he watches the other stumble around more. Cursing under his breath as Steve can’t help but look at Robin who’s glaring at him.

Steve sees the guys struggling to keep count as his hands shook a little. Steve chuckles as he moves his hand forward slightly brushing his hands on the others before he picks up the change off the counter and drops it in the others hand. “Here- just keep the money. I’ll get you what you want, I don’t feel like having to ask Robin to help me count, embarrassing enough I need help doing other things.” He chuckles. Seeing the others face going red.

Steve glances down at the shirt the other was wearing and he brightens up when he actually recognizes the name. “Oh that’s Blacksabbeth right? With um what’s his name- I’m horrible with names. The guy who bit that bats head off.”

“Ozzy?” The guy is squeaking a bit. Steve doesn’t even think he even has to try and flirt with the other. Steve snaps his fingers as he nods his head getting excited just for remembering something.

“Yeah! Though total dick move. I hope that poor bat wasn’t alive. Poor guy didn’t do anything.” Steve shakes his head as he moves pulling the scoop from the water. “No offense but I’m pretty sure saving animals is more metal then killing them.” Steve rambles out as he looks back up at the other who was looking at him like he had three heads.

“I didn’t expect your majesty to know such things?”

“Dude, I got curious. The shithead I’m babysitting has a DM who’s obsessed with metal and he wanted me to help him find some random stuff to help him impress.” Steve chuckles.

“Wait as in DnD?” Steve nods his head watching the other blush more.

“May that little gremlin be Dustin?” The other asks curiously. Steve furrows his eyebrows before realization hits him.

“Oh shit your the Eddie guy he’s been talking my ear off about!” Steve says excitedly. Eddie nods his head as he looks a little pale but Steve doesn’t mention anything. Assuming the other was - actually he doesn’t know what. He just didn’t want to be rude. He snaps his fingers as he moves over to grab a cone. “I just got done listening to Dustin forcing me to remember your ice cream just in case you came by with him. Apparently he really thinks I’m dumb enough to fuck up an order.” He chuckles as Eddie goes heart eyes. Having to lean himself on the counter so he didn’t faint. His chains hit the counter a bit as he realizes the other is actually making what he wanted. And it was spot on.

“You can’t remember Ozzys name but you can remember some strangers I’ve cream order that hasn’t even actually ordered it yet.” Eddie sounds shocked.

“Well I kind of wanted to Woo the guy my little bro as been talking about constantly. I don’t have the best rep, considering I was a asshole in highschool. The last thing I wanted was to have some strange rivalry with someone who I’m probably going to end up seeing a lot when I have to drop Dustin off. Carrying god knows how many books in with him.” Steve rambles out finishing the bowl with a handful of gummy worms. He pauses for a second and Eddie’s about to ask for more but before he can Steve is plopping half a bag on the damn dish.

Eddie was in love. He couldn’t even. He nearly falls on his face right then and there. He hears the window opening and Steve looks over at Robin. Realizing he has to check to see if it was going to be worth flirting with the boy in front of him. Robin puts a finger up to steve telling him to give her a second.

“So Eddie what’s your feelings about Tim Curry in makeup. And not the clown either?” She asks. Eddie somehow trips in his spot and nearly falls on his ass.

“Um- I uh i um- well you see- I um Tim in- you know?” Eddies face is bright red and Steve can’t help but bite his lip trusting Robin all the way. Robin nods her head pausing before looking at Steve. “Well Stevie after three months of failing miserably, you’ve finally gotten a you rule!” She giggles the marker going down giving the left side a tally.

Bonus: Robin has already started talking to Eddie about the shovel while he’s eating the worms. Oh not because of Steve but because the store he’s working at took over the one good place where she could find a book.

This isn’t edited and I might have messed up somewhere if I did I’m sorry 💀

The reason Steve got not bitches in ST3 and 4 is because Robin saw the line of girls trying to get with Steve for purely aesthetic or shady reasons and said none of them were good enough.

Then one day Eddie comes into Scoops and stammers his way through ordering an ice cream cone and Robin decided there and then “that one”

It’s the only reason that makes sense
