pairing; robin buckley x reader

category; fluff

summary; headcanons for robin buckley with a bookworm girlfriend

warnings/content; none

other; headcanons, bookworm!reader

you met at scoops ahoy - everyday like clockwork, you'd take your lunch break from work at scoops ahoy, ordering ice cream instead of substantial lunch food (half for the cost, half for the pretty girl at the counter)

the two of you vaguely knew each other from high school, but you didn't speak. you didn't speak for a while that summer either, other than "strawberry, please".

both of you were intimidated. you, because she was always with steve 'the hair' harrington. robin, because you always had your face in a book. a new one almost each day.

so when you came strolling on in with a book she'd actually read, and enjoyed enough to read again, her heart inflated in her chest, and she practically shoved steve aside to serve you

and conversation started from there until you were best friends

who made out a lot

and celebrated an anniversary

and bought each other gifts constantly

and were attached at the hip

and got strangely jealous of other... friends?

only steve was any the wiser

library dates, because you love to read, and she loves to make out with you in the back where nobody ever comes (look at the population of hawkins and tell me how many seem like they go to the library)

buys you books all the time, but never duplicates, because she knows everything you've read and if she's not sure, she'll find out

gives you free ice cream - nothing to do with being a bookworm but she does, and later on, free films

robin's 5"8. if you're shorter and can't reach a book, she will lean over you to get it down, leaving you completely flustered. if you're taller and can't reach a book, she'll have you up on her shoulders and refuse to put you down until you've done at least a lap around the room, trying not to giggle too loudly

speaking of loudly, robin has no volume control - chances are you'll be removed from the library on more than one occasion

wants you to read her to sleep all the time

quotes things from your favourite book to you

mutters them under her breath too, when she's concentrating

definitely walks into your bookcases and/or piles of books all the time

will never borrow your books because she's afraid of permanently damaging them, but will occasionally get some from the library

even though she isn't a huge reader, she's intellectual enough to talk to about whatever you're reading - steve is always so lost, looks to nancy and eddie to see if they're equally as confused. they aren't, half the time they join in

she got a night light installed in her room so you could read when you slept over at her's

if you're also into writing, she wants to read it every time you change a word

you came home late once, and threw a book on your bed without looking. yelp. robin had fallen asleep waiting for you

she'll always cuddle up to you at night, only to realise at least one book is digging into her side everytime

she moves it and it falls off the bed, making the loudest thud imagineable every single night, without fail, even if it's a tiny book

makes you custom bookmarks with polaroids or photo booth photos

you practically go deaf when you're reading, much to robin's amusement. she says a lot of things to which you just mindlessly agree to - like a film you complained about her wanting to watch, for example

the only time you heard her through your reading was the first time she (albiet accidentally) confessed her love for you

wants to provide you with one of the romance stories from your books, but you quickly reassure her real life with robin is much better than any story about princes and dragons

still, she does put effort into being romantic - she can't give you a "normal" relationship, but she's determined to give you a good one

just wants to be near you all the time

𓇼pairing: robin buckley x reader

𓇼summary: the request! jealousy is inevitable, and sometimes you just need a little distraction.

𓇼warnings: jealousy and angst if you squint, reader is referred to as a girlfriend, set before the "mall fire," fluff, robin being the best as always

a/n: i really don't know what happened when i was writing this... please dont let this judge my writing because this is- i cannot

Robin was coming to strongly dislike the books her girlfriend was recently spending all their time reading. The lack of attention was getting to her, a bit more than she'd like to admit considering the competition was a book. This at the time "minor" issue started a few months ago with magazines. You were still talking frequently, even sharing pieces and bits of articles to Robin. You would take the stupid quizzes of who would be your boyfriend at the time, because you two were definitely interested in Rob Lowe and Tom Cruise.

This section of time in your reading "obsession," as Robin would like to call it, didn't last long. Once you had discovered your love for reading from these magazines, you started to read novels more and more. She was truly happy for you that you had found a hobby that you liked, but she felt that it was getting excessive. She had gone through at least 30 plans to get your nose out of a book.

First, she tried taking you on a simple date, thinking for sure you wouldn't bring a book. Although, when you two sat down in the field chosen for the date, you pulled what was now Robin's least favorite thing out of your bag. This time it was The Catcher in the Rye, and you offered that you sit by a tree and read it together. Your plan was to have a cute reading date, but that wasn't what she wanted at all. Robin wanted to spend time with you, she wanted to talk to you and be able to look at you.

There were many more plans that she tried to get you to give the books up. Taking you to lunch was one, thinking if there was food there would be no time or room to read. Wrong. She tried taking you to the arcade thinking you'd be busy with the games, soon realizing this wasn't the case and she was still getting nothing. After several attempts, she finally decided that she would just confront you.

Getting a ride from Steve Harrington wasn't easy, even if you were his best friend. Robin knew this all too well. He always either had a date, a girl he needed to see, or he just didn't feel like giving her a ride at the time. With much persuasion and a brief phone call between the two, Robin was getting a ride to your house and Steve was receiving 10 dollars. She didn't really know what to say to you, it was pretty hard to admit that you were aggravated by a book getting more attention than you.

"Hey, Bob. We're here." Robin hated the nickname and wasn't that happy about the fact she was pulled out of her thoughts, but she thanked him and handed him the money on the way out of the car. She patted down any wrinkles that may have been apparent in her jeans, gaining the courage to go up to your door.

When you heard somebody knocking at 2 in the afternoon on a Saturday, it wasn't the most surprising thing in the world. Thinking it was one of your friends, you put a bookmark in the novel you had recently started and went downstairs. Opening the door, you were much happier to see Robin on your doorstep.

Before you could pull her inside, she spoke up. "Can we talk?" Immediately thinking the worst about the situation, you nodded and stepped outside expecting the worst. "I'm sorry," Oh no. "I know this is going to sound stupid, but I came here to talk about you always reading. I can't help but feel like whenever we're together you don't really want to spend time with me because you're just reading and I know I'm probably overthinking and definitelytalkingtoomuch-" Realizing what she was saying, you cut her off in a very puzzled tone.

"Wait- Robin. You're jealous... of a book?" You had to ask her this, only now becoming self-aware of your habits. "Yes- Yes, I know it sounds stupid to be jealous of an inanimate object but I just felt like I should tell you how I feel."

"No, Robin I completely understand. Let me apologize I never even realized what I was doing-" The two of you were both becoming a stuttering and nervous mess, and Robin knew how to solve that problem. She held your jaw before pulling you into a soft kiss that said more than the two of you could. When you two pulled apart and looked around to make sure nobody was outside, you spoke first.

"So, no more books when I'm with you?"
