the day the music died (robin x female/nonbinary reader)

📺 starcourt 🥤

authors note: im so sorry every like 3 months i remember this exists at 1 am randomly, it currently 1:02 in the morning and i have now got the motivation to write again, it probably won't last long tho, sorry if its a bit shit If im being honest I've forgotten what steve rang about so sorry if its now bad but yeah, forgive me for any spelling or grammar mistakes as I said its 1.02 in the morning. thanks for still reading tho <33 also TW: there's like one or two sentences in this with cat calling for anyone who feels uncomfortable with that, its quite quick . also this is set after steve knows robins gay but before the whole Russian investigation thing ik ik confusing but let's just pretend robin told steve another time in a just as wholesome way 😊👍. but in this story the way steve finds out is still because at someone point before this he told robin he liked her and she told him shes a lesbian bla bla bla , makes sense?

y/ns pov:
"whats going on?" I ask, has something happened to steve oh shit no.
robin goes to retrieve her bike proping it up, she turns and smiles " nothing serious dustins claiming he's getting weird messages over his walkie, its in a different language and we're not 100% sure who it is"
" oh " I say i thought it was something serious " why do you care?"
it feels as if she half laughs at her self and I half at me " i don't " she says, wtf " you thought it would be a laugh , come on harrington its time to unlock your inner detective " robin taps on the back of her bike " come on"
I dont really want to go tbh im still kinda pissed at my mum but I kinda wanna spend more time with robin she makes me feel better, so I get on the back of her bike. I dont really know where to put my hands on her shoulders? round her stomach? is that to awkward? I don't wanna make her uncomfortable? why is this so awkward?
"if you dont hold on you'll fall of harrington, I dont bite you know" she laughs
I still don't know what to do , I move closer towards her so I don't fall of the back , I put my hands on her shoulders, seems like the safest option, right? I'm really not sure why this is bothering me so much. I can her robin chuckle quietly to herself after I do this. she starts to pedal, we ride down the street on our way to starcourt, there's a comfortable silence.

robins pov:
I could tell y/n felt awkward at first they definitely weren't sure where to put their hands, that made me laugh a bit. but I appreciate the thought, I wouldn't have minded if they felt safer holding me round the waist. its nice of them to consider how comfortable I felt tho, I know that sounds like the bare minimum but I thought it was cute. EWW gross no thats literally dinguses sibling. I dont like them like that I don't think so anyway. I mean yeah their pretty and funny but we don't really know each other that well, and their probably straight i mean for fucks sake we're in the 1980s, for all i know they're homophic. they don't seem like the kind to be. I DONT KNOW. UGH. just as we pull into starcourt a truck drives slowly past us, there's two men in side and they roll their windows down. for fuck sake. they both whistle at us and i can feel y/ns tension they hold on to me tighter. maybe they've never been cat called before its pretty fucking terrifying. I stick my middle finger up in their direction and cycle faster right up to the starecourt bike racks.

y/ns pov:
I was terrified ive only ever been cat called once and I went home and cried in steves arms I was only 12 it was disgusting, I can feel my eyes tear up. it might not seem like a big deal but it really scares me. when we reach the bike racks, I get off the bike and so does robin as she locks it to the metal bars. she looks at me " you ok?" she asks
I'm still kinda shaken up the men caught me really of guard, I awser but my voice comes out like I've just been crying "n-no y-yeah I'm ok" I force my tears back. robin gives me a pat on the shoulder and a warm sympathetic smile. she doesn't seem to faised by what just happened maybe she's use to it, thats horrible it shouldn't be normal.
robins sailor hat has gone side ways, i giggle and re position it on top of her head. she looks a bit embarrassed , she puts on a terrible "English" accent and says " why thank you, im off to the navy now cheerio " she skips off inside laughing. I follow her laughing too.

steves pov:
I'm hoping robin can help with this weird message on dustins walkie, we've taped it so she can listen, I dont know what took her so long I thought she was following me on her bike but she must have taken a de-tour. anyway robin speaks like 3 languages so hopefully one of them matches this. robin bursts in the back door laughing quickly followed by y/n who is also giggling. looks like robin took a de-tour to find y/n. I ship it. im joking I don't know if y/ns gay tbh i dont think they even know what homosexual is we never talk about it and when there's anything about the community on the TV our mum turn it straight off. but anyway I was joking they seem like good friends now. "finally, god you took for ever" I say.
robin rolls her eyes " jeez calm down dingus, please remember i cant drive because im too poor to get a licence so I have to ride around on a slowly dieing bike. its not my fault its ridiculously slow" robin sits down opposite me and so does y/n " I'll try and translate this so called "secret" message but someone needs to sever customers" robin smiles at me dropping the scoop in my hand.y/ns smiling holding in laughter.
" what no im not doing it by myself." I say "I'll be the only one missing out on the detective shit"
" calm your tits dingus, you won't be alone " she takes off her scoops hat and puts it on y/n, who instantly stops laughing " y/n will help"
" what no" y/n says " you said I should channle my inner detective, the only thing I'll be investigating out their is steves inability to talk to girls, PLEASSEEEE dont make me"
" well i lied" says robin smiling " me and dustin will crack this code you two, out spend some quality sibling time idk just do your job steve"
me and y/n walk outside to serve customers . y/n turns to me
" I look fucking ridiculous in this hat" they say scooping ice cream.
