strangest-of-things

nancy and robin break up after realising being together did more harm than good.

they sit on the windowsill of nancy's dorm room, sharing a cigarette and a can of beer, watching the sun set over emerson college campus.

the tears have dried and they're left with this dull, empty ache inside their chests.

when there's no more cigarette to smoke and no more beer to drink, robin jumps down and looks up at nancy, her eyes still shimmering, cheeks still red.

"one last thing, nance," she says, smiling despite wanting to scream.

"when you fall in love again, promise me that for a brief moment, you'll think of me? and then go and do it better with him, yeah? because the day i give my heart to someone again, i will think of you for a quick moment, but i promise i'll do better with her."

denk nur ganz kurz an mich

wenn du dich neu verliebst

und mach es besser mit ihm

und ich denk ganz kurz an dich

wenn ich mein herz verlier

und mach es besser bei ihr

atleast with elmax it kinda made sense for eleven to hate max at first because she has no idea how friendships work but what was the point of nancy being annoyed with robin???
