[DISCONTINUED] get it together - Steddie

|| im here for you <3 ||

Steve walks up to the counter to ring Eddie up, Robin seemed out of it so he'd do most of the work all throughout that day, which he didn't mind all that much.

Steve looked what movie Eddie had picked out for the 3 of them to see, "the goonies"

"so we're seeing the goonies?" Steve asked as he put the info in the computer.

"sure is that bad?" Eddie answered, leaning on the counter.

"no, just kinda already watched it" Steve handed the movie back to Eddie with a slight smirk.

"rewatching a movie isn't so bad" Eddie grabbed the movie and stood up, "meet me at my place at 7:00, Robin will tell where it is"

"yeah alright"

"see you then Stevie" Eddie winked and pointed a finger gun at Steve before spinning around and leaving.

Steve looked at the door for a moment before looking at Robin slumped over under the counter. his face changed into worry.

he'd kneel down and looked at Robin, "hey you alright?" Steve asked in a delicate voice.

Robin slowly looked back up, her eyes squinted as she looked Steve in his eyes, "not really." she mumbled before her head falling back down in her arms.

Steves heart almost broke, he hated seeing Robin so upset. "wanna talk about it?" he was now sitting on his calves.

Robin simply shook her head no and could just barely hear a sniff under her arms.

Steve respected her choice and said no more. just scooted next to her and rubbed her back, the same Eddie had did to him. Robin leaned into Steves side, her hands covering her face. you could see the tear stains on her sleeves.

luckily they didn't have customers at this hour most of the time.

Steve tried to think of something that would cheer Robin up, but thought that it's alright for her to feel upset, for what ever it is.

they stayed like this for a while, Robin leaned into Steves side as Steve rubbed her back or fiddled with her hair. soon it would be lunch, Steve asked in a soft voice, "you wanna eat your lunch?"

Robin nodded yes, lifting herself off of Steve. Steve got up and searched through robins bag, looking for her lunch. He found it and went back to the same spot, scooting her lunch in front of her feet. She rested her legs out and opened her lunch, Steve took a glance at Robins face, it's was all red and her eyes were puffy from crying. her cheeks glistening from her smudged tears.

He didn't look long, feeling that would make her uncomfortable. he stood up to see if anyone was outside. Steve looked back down to Robin, her legs spread out in front of her as she ate her food. "i'll do the rest of the work, you can relax" Steve said as Robin looked up to him smiling. She didn't want to speak for her voice would crack and sound like a broken record.

Steve smiled back and went to dust off the shelves and clean the windows, organizing the tapes on shelves.

It was soon closing time. Steve and Robin packed their things and started to close up. Robin was feeling better now, talking like her usual self but not as enthusiastic as she always was.

They both got into Steves car to drive to her house, "you going to Eddie's house to hang out?" Steve asked, his head moved towards Robins direction but his eyes on the road.

"Yeah, don't want to leave him hanging.. and- i might need this to clear my mind" She replied scratching the back of her neck with a slight smile.

"well um- you know you have me to talk to about whatever it is. im not the best at like- comforting and stuff but i'll try"

Robin laughed at this "yeah i know Steve"

Steve smiled "good"

Steve soon pulled up to Robins house. "see ya later" Steve said when Robin was going out, "yeah see ya" she smiled before closing the door and Steve pulling out to go home.

6:45 pm

Steve didn't feel like changing, he decided to just go in his black basketball shorts and a nike shirt that was a size to big. he put on his slides and drove to Robins house.

he pulled up to Robins house. she came running out with sweatpants and a tank top. seems no one is getting dressed, it is a movie hangout after all.

She got in the car and they drove to Eddie's, Robin pointing the directions to the trailer park.

They arrived at 6:56, trying to figure out which one was his. then Steve saw the van that had pulled into his driveway yesterday, figuring that was his house. Steve parked his car in front of the trailer and walked up to the door, knocking.

Eddie opened the door instantly and invited them in.

Steve hadn't been here before, obviously. it reeked of Eddie of course, weed and cheap cologne, he looked around and it was kinda messy, Steve wasn't surprised by it though, it was Eddie after all.

Eddies couch on the right of the trailer was set up with blankets, pillows and some snacks and beers. seems like it was the only thing that Eddie felt had to be clean.

"welcome to my castle"  Eddie said with his arms spread out.

"nice place you got here" Steve said, feeling bad about lying.

"thanks, i've got the couch all set up" he gestured his hand to the couch, walking towards it.

Steve and Robin sat down, watching Eddie slide the tape in the player. displaying "the goonies" on the screen.

Robin was on the far end as Steve and Eddie were relatively close to one another. as if it was yesterday night all over again.

Steve cracked open a beer, even if he didn't drink a lot, he couldn't resist one right in front of him. he'd lean back on the couch, resting the beer on his knee. Eddie's arm was so close behind his head, easily able to slip his arm around Steves shoulders.

an hour in Steve was hogging all the beers, he was on his 3rd one. he was in a middle of a drink when Eddie brushed through the back of Steve's neck to his hair. causing him to jump and spill his beer all over his shirt and shorts.

"Shit!" Steve yelled as he stood up. sitting the beer down. Eddie paused the movie and got up, "oh shit man, hold on" Eddie tumbled to his room to grab clothes.

Robin got up and told him to go to the bathroom when Eddie handed him some sweatpants and one of his bands tank tops that said "Corroded Coffin". it was all slightly big but i felt nice, it smelt like Eddie.. and beer.

Steve walked out the bathroom and back to the couch. luckily no beer got on the couch.

"no more beer for you Harrington" he said as he grabbed the beer from the table and putting on the kitchen island.

Steve rolled his eyes as he sat back down. "im not drunk Eddie i just- choked"

"mhm" Eddie hummed as he sat back into his same spot, unpausing the movie.

The feeling when Eddie rubbed his hand though his scalp felt nice for a second before Steve ruined it.

Eddie tried again but just twirled the ends of Steve's hair then brushing the twirl out with his fingers. his cold rings hitting his warm neck time to time. Steve wasn't even paying attention to the movie at that point, one because he'd already watched it not that long ago and two Eddie was distracting him with his touchiness, but he didn't complain.

Steve rolled his head back into Eddie's hand, his eyes closed. he was definitely drunk now.

Eddie looked over to Steve, his side profile was so pretty to him, all his moles on his face were visible with his hair out of his face. Eddie just wanted to grab his face and kiss him all over, but that would be ridiculous, Steve isn't even gay. he'd just say he's gross and never speak to him again. he'd frown and he massaged Steves scalp and continued watching the movie.
