Not Steve Harrington.

Part 11: Hey Robin?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Steve's POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     I barley slept. I can't get last night out of my head. It was nothing, just Eddie being Eddie but here I was freaking the fuck out. I needed to talk to Robin. If there's anyone who would know how to help it's here. I reached for me keys off my nightstand. I got up and threw some clothes on, and put them in my jean pocket. I ran downstairs and got into my car. I started the ignition and pulled out of my driveway. I remember the last time I felt like this. The last time just the look of someone made my heart skip. It was Nancy, but when I look at her now, there's nothing. But when Eddie was singing last night, I felt like my heart was gonna beat out of his chest. This time I can't blame it on the alcohol or weed because we were sober. I speed up as my mind raced and before long I was outside Robin's.

     I walked up to the door and knocked. Her mom answered. "Hi Mrs.Buckley, is Robin home?" I gave her a smile. "Oh Steve! Yes of course come in! She's in her room dear." I smiled and stepped inside, then walked upstairs to Robin's room. My heart was racing now too. I knocked on her bedroom door. "Hey Robin? It's Steve, I really need to talk to you dude." I looked down as she opened the door. "Steve? Oh shit, yea come in." I came inside and she shut the door behind me. I sat down at her desk and she sat on the edge of her bed. "So, what's up Steve? I know something's up or you would have radioed me." I nodded looked at her. She tilted her head and looked confused. "Oh so it's like, serious private?" I nodded quickly. "Oh so, you know how you all went home after we got out of the Upside Down yesterday?" She nodded. "Okay so, Eddie drove me home. And when we got into the car, Welcome to the Jungle was playing.." I looked to see if she was following. "She nodded, confused still. "So, it's stupid but he was singing and he looked at me and sung 'I wanna watch you bleed' and then moaned to the stupid fake moaning on the track.." She raised an eyebrow. "Okay? Get to the point Steve." I took a deep breath. "So when he did, I felt my face get all hot and my heart started to beat out of my chest." I stopped and looked at her. Her eyes got wide. "I just.." She looked at me for a second. "You like Eddie, don't you?" And that's when I felt them. The tear weld up in my eyes. Fuck. Don't cry, Steve. Don't you fucking dare. It was too late, the tears had already come. "I'm Steve Harrington! I can't like boys! That's not me, I-I..." My voice trailed off and the tears felt like acid coming down my face. Robin stood up and walked over to me and pulled me into a hug. "C'mere you big dingus..you can like both Steve. And that's okay. None of us are gonna care." I melted into her embrace. Yea, that felt night. "It's called being bisexual." I nodded. "I'm..I'm bisexual..." I smiled a bit. That kinda felt good. I pulled away from her. "I, Steve Harrington, like boys and girls!" I grinned and we both laughed. "Glad to help a fellow gay in need. Honestly man, you were having a proper gay crisis." I shook my head. "Eddie Fucking Munson will do that." She smiled at me a snickered. "Hey, I've got some movies from Family Video, wanna stay and watch them?" I nodded. "I'd love to."
