Celestial Eclipsed

It’s also how he gains some new information…

Eddie Munson and Steve Harrington have been officially, but semi-secretly, dating for a couple weeks now.

They were in Eddie’s room, making out, half naked, when the walls of the trailer start to rumble. They immediately run out of Eddie’s room, not bothering to put their shirts back on, to see what’s happened. They find Wayne sitting on the couch, looking at them with a questioning look; until he sneezes again, while the trailer once again shakes.

Steve is the one to shyly say, ‘bless you.’

After a beat of silence, Wayne speaks up, and assures them, mostly Eddie, that as long as they’re happy and safe, that’s all that matters.

With one more sneeze from Wayne, it shakes any lingering awkwardness out of them.

“Robin?”

“Hi. Uh can you maybe put the gun down now?”

“Sorry. What are you doing here, in the middle of the night?”

“I was bored and couldn’t sleep.”

“So you decided to almost get shot, out of boredom?”

“Not my intention, but I’d rather go by your hand than the alternative. You really sleep with a gun under your pillow? Isn’t that dangerous? I mean yes, it’s dangerous, but you know what you’re doing, you always do, and that’s cool, but still very dangerous, and -“

“Robin.”

“you could’ve really shot me, oh my goodness, what was I thinking? You know I wasn’t really thinking when I climbed up here, and that’s dumb on my part, I should’ve known bet-“

“Robin!”

“-ter. Sorry.”

“Why didn’t you just go to Steve’s?”

“Eddie.”

“Right.”

“So…”

“So…”

“I should g-“

“You climbed up to my window, and snuck into my room, might as well stay now.”

“Cool. Thanks.”

“Can I ask why you’re not at home?”

“Too many nightmares, and way too many questions from my parents. Usually, I spend the night at Steve’s, but I think I’ll have way worse nightmares from having to see Steve and Eddie be all cutesy.”

“You can say that again.”

“Are you, and Steve, you and Jonathan… okay?”

“Oh no. No. We’re good. Steve told me himself that he was dating Eddie. I think Eddie’s good for him. Jonathan and I, well, I think we’ll be okay. It’s just…”

“You wish you could be cutesy with someone who’s right for you.”

“Yeah. You too?”

“Oh yeah.”

“Anyone particular comes to mind?”

That’s when things get quiet and a little tense, as Robin slowly turns to look at Nancy.

“There’s someone in mind. You?”

Nancy slowly looks at Robin.

“I think so. Yeah.”
