Crush

notes: Nancy has had a crush on Robin for a while now, and somehow finds herself ranting to Steve over the phone about it as she practically did nightly now, however, little did she know a certain someone had heard almost every word.

Nancy sighed, looking at her ceiling as she heard a clock ticking in the distance, probably coming from her kitchen downstairs. Nancy felt nothing but pure butterflies in her stomach, the night she just had was a absolute blast, but for some reason, she can't stop thinking about something else. Her.

Nancy had just gotten back from going out to dinner with Eddie, Steve, Robin, Mike, and Dustin. After dinner, Robin and Nancy had walked home together. Nancy, obviously, was too hardheaded to admit it but the walk home left her so weightless. Like she could do anything as long as she had her favorite loudmouth by her side.

The past few months, since Nancy and Jonathan had broken up, Nance had been spending more time with the three idiots she befriended during one of Hawkins worst times of crisis.. Why? Nancy wasn't too definite. She was just lonely, and, of course, refused to let herself cry over some dumb boy, thus, she needed a distraction. Those three were the perfect get away from Nancy's shit life. Steve's kids were also pretty alright to hang out with too.

Out of the whole friend group though, Nancy couldn't seem to keep her eyes off of one of them. Robin Buckley. To be fair, Robin had amazing facial features and an incredible personality. Despite her babbling, which Nancy had fallen in love with almost more than she had ever loved Jonathan alone.

Nancy groaned, sitting up and making her way towards the phone as she started to dial Steve's number. Finally, after about 30 seconds, Steve finally answered. "Nancy it is 30 minutes until midnight what the hell." Steve said, clear exhaustion in his voice. "Yeah.. Yeah I know, I know. I'm sorry I just don't know who else to talk to."
"About what?"
"Uhm..."
"This is about Robin isn't it, Nance."
"Mhm."
Steve smiled from the other side, if only Nancy knew the things he knew. "Fine, Fine. I suppose I could spare a few minutes for your rant."

"It's not like you had a choice." Nancy said, sitting down at her vanity and taking a deep breath. "So, basically, she walked me home tonight and you already know that she offered to do that which was so sweet like oh my god- anyways- on the walk home we keep like- our hands kept brushing against each others whilst we walked and jesus christ I was so close to just holding her hand you don't even know."

"If I didn't know any better, Wheeler, I'd say you're in love with Robin. I know for sure that you talk about her more than you ever did with Jonathan." Nancy's eyebrows raised as she felt a wave of anxious pain sting through her stomach and to her chest. Love? There was no way. Right?

"Cmon, Steve, be real. It's just a crush. I mean seriously I've never even dated a girl... This might just be me wanting to experiment." Steve scoffed in reply, taking a deep breath "Nance, when you dated me, that was an experiment. The way you looked at me just seemed like you were distant and overall just... not interested. But the way you looked at her?  Cmon Nancy, how do you not see it. There's so much love in your eyes it's almost shocking."

...

"Do you think she looks at me the same way?" Nancy asks, looking up in the mirror.  Nancy had a soft rose blush on her face and her stomach was swarming. Robin, Robin, Robin. "I mean-"
"Steve I think you're right. She can't get out of my head and it is SO annoying it's like- I used to be so bothered by her being around me but now all I want is for her to be with me. And her eyes don't even get me started, Steve, they're like- an ocean. Just so beautiful. She's so beautiful I- just- something about her makes me just- I want to be with her I want to be around her I love her constant babbling I love it all every bit of it so so much. The way she looks up at me sends me into a fit I her eyes are so fuckin-"

Nancy is interrupted by the sound of Steve on the other line "Hold on Nance, really sorry to interrupt your rant but Dustin is here. Talk later?" Nancy sighed. "Sure." Once Nancy heard the sound of Steve hand up she slammed her phone back against the mount. "Just get over her, Nancy." She told herself as she flopped back down on her bed where she previously was.

Just seconds after laying down, the door to Nancy's room opened slowly. Nancy sat up, shocked at who was in her door way. "Robin?? What are you doing here?"
"I've uh.. I've been here for the past 10 minutes, Nance. Just- outside your door since you were on the phone." 10 minutes?! that means Robin had to have heard what she just told Steve. "I- Well-"

"I was only going to ask If I could maybe stay the night? Mom and Dad are fighting again and I really just don't want to be in the crossfire they can get abusive sometimes-" Nancy quickly nodded "Oh yeah for sure you can!! Cool with me." Robin smiled "Cool."

..

"So uh... Nancy?"
"Yeah?"
"I uh- I heard all you said to Steve. Is... Is that really how you feel?" Nancy's eyes widened. shit. "Well, I-"
"Because if it is I just want you to know that I feel the same way like literally the same exact way. Every time I hear your name or see you or- hell I don't even know Nancy I-"

Nancy felt her butterflies return. Robin felt the same way? There was no way this was happening. Nancy couldn't possibly be this lucky right? "You do?" Nancy asked, looking at the flustered Robin who still stood in her doorway. "I mean- yeah! Of course I do, Nance. This is gonna sound weird I just know it but I have for a while. A long while. I was always so envious of you because you got everything you could ever ask for. Nice parents, Nice belongings, a boyfriend. I could never have any of that. Even when it came to something as small as getting a girlfriend I just.. Couldn't."

Nancy gave a look of sympathy as she stood, walking up to Robin. She motioned for Robin to step inside her room as she shut the door behind her. As Nancy looked away from the door and back to Robin, the two made instant eye contact. those damn eyes. "But then I realized that what I was feeling wasn't even envy. I didn't want to be like you. I wanted to be with you."

The two stood in silence for a moment, lost in each other's eyes. Nancy smiled, breaking the wall between them and pinning Robin against her wall. "I wish you would've said something sooner. Like- a lot soon-"
Robin suddenly kissed Nance, locking her hands as she wrapped her arms around Nancy's neck. She flinched as she felt Nancy's hands lightly sit on her waist. The two were so caught in the moment, they were sure that their kids would never end. But that was okay, neither of them wanted it to end.

Nancy's grip on Robin's waist tightened as they quickly began making out. Robin could get used to this, Nancy's touch felt like a drug. She just wanted more. She could stay this way with her lover for eternity. The two could definitely see that a tension had released, I mean, cmon, they had been hiding their feelings from eachother for months now.

After the two pulled away from their embrace, Robin quickly threw herself onto Nancy, hugging her. Nancy hugged back, smiling as she felt her own heart pounding in her chest. Robin, on the other hand, felt calmer than she ever had. Robin had always been the least favorite child at home, she was always made fun of and outcasted as well. Nancy was the exact opposite. But somehow, the two found eachother. Robin found the place she could finally call home.
