#poor robin

Robin: Oh, cool. I hope you guys kept yourselves warm, nights are getting so chilly.

Steve: No, Robs, I mean that Eddie and I had se-

𝙄𝘾𝙀 𝙍𝙐𝙉𝙎 𝙏𝙃𝙍𝙊𝙐𝙂𝙃 𝙃𝙄𝙎 𝙑𝙀𝙄𝙉𝙎. the moment the door had squeaked open he'd realized his mistake. but it's too late now. the faint sound of music coming from her phone fills his ears and the floor squeaks. it all happens too fast and robin freezes as their eyes meet. the towel around her is tight, thankfully. but her skin is shining, water rolling off her shoulders in tiny droplets. is he staring ? he's staring isn't he ? all at once he whips his body around, back now facing her as his skin begins to burn red. what the hell is he doing ?! he'd told her she could use his bathroom and yet he'd forgotten to knock. living alone for years will expose your privileges, it seems.

❛ i'm really sorry !! ❜ but she doesn't reply right away and robin finds it near impossible to get his feet to move. he should walk out of the bathroom and shut the door and maybe walk onto the balcony and off the railing. but instead he simply stands there unable to move. ❛ please forgive me, um . . . i'll get you a snack !! ❜ finally his feet begin to move and he scrambles out of the doorway but not before gently shutting it. once in the kitchen he takes a deep breath. how had he forgotten she was here ? running a hand down his face robin groans. idiot.

❛ This sounds like something you might regret telling me tomorrow. ❜

“no, no, robbie, listen!” steve slurred a little, but the words were steady enough to mean something. “if i was gonna regret this, i wouldn’t’ve called you. i’d be locked in a closet. or, like… five closets stacked together. nesting doll closets.” he let out a drowsy laugh ending in a breath that trembled a little on the way out.

“i’m high, yeah, but i’m not that high. i know what i’m saying. i’ve been thinking about it for a while, and it just... it finally came out ‘cause everything’s, like… so clear right now.”

a soft shuffle saw him slide down the wall and lay back in bed. “robin… i think i like boys.” he paused, then corrected himself, voice dipping even softer, almost shy. “well... I like a boy. specifically. just one.”

he laughed at himself, realizing he sounded like a kid with a crush, but kept going. “i still like girls. but… yeah. boys too. or, you know...boy. singular. whatever. i’m telling you because you’re… safe. you already did this. the whole freak out, the doubts, the ‘oh god what does this mean’ thing. you got through it. so i know you’ll understand.” he huffed to himself and ran a hand down his face. “even if i'm not freaking out as much as you might expect.”

he let another lazy exhale, warm and raw and honest. “you’re the only person i’d call about this at 2am while i’m lying here staring at my ceiling fan like it’s judging me. i’m not gonna regret this tomorrow, robbie. no way. not even a little.” he let out another slow breath, the kind that shakes on the way out even when he’s trying to sound cool.

“you’re my best friend, robin. you get the truth. always.”

there was a pause like the weight of that statement was somehow embarrassing. but emotional confessions hadn't always gone smoothly for steve. still, he continued anyway. robin might give him a hard time about things but he trusted her with this.

“and maybe… maybe this is why i haven’t been able to find a girl i actually like lately,” he admitted, knocking his head lightly against the wall. “because i’ve been stuck on him instead. hung up without even knowing i was hung up.”

he laughed again, soft, maybe a little tired. “figures, right? steve harrington finally figures out his love life is a mess ‘cause he can’t get one guy out of his head.”

Like, of course she wanted to protect them! Not only are they nakama they're also literally babies!!!

And and... could I make some link between Cookie's traumatic experience while pregnant of Robin and Robin's abilities? Because that has crossed my mind but it seemed too farfetched so I sent it to my somnium archives not-likely theories shelf...

I am just rambling now so I will bid farewell 😉

Hmmmmmmmmmb.. who knows where he got his gift or how tbh! It could be something to do with Cookie, or maybe it's just one of those things.. I think I'm happy to leave that one up in the air 🤷‍♀️

Ylang-Robin C-Support

Finally got around to writing another support for my OC, Ylang !

Sorry it's been a while, but I'm pretty happy with how this support turned out ! This one has a little bit of lore drop on how Ylang became a Pegasus Knight (but I'm planning on giving out the more detailed lore in Gaius' support haha)
