the moment i knew | ronance

X.

they were all watching and laughing, obviously having a good time. except for two people, robin and nancy. both of them were completely awkward, they didn't speak too much, which was unlikely for robin but normal for nancy.

nancy was observant in every way she can, and it was typical for her to do so. her eyes made way to robin's. they stared at each other for a good whole minute before breaking their gaze at one another.

robin felt suffocated, being in the same room as nancy wheeler, the amount of people in the room, the awkward atmosphere plus the pain in her ankle. it was completely driving her nuts.

nancy here was fiddling her fingers, not knowing if she should ask robin to go out with her for a talk, or she should just wait until robin goes out and follow her. to her luck, she didn't have to do the first move because robin went out of the room. when no one was watching, she stood up and followed robin.

"hey chris?" she patted chrissy's shoulder and the girl beside her hummed back. "i need to go to the restroom, i'll be right back.." she whispered into chrissy's ear, not wanting to say it a bit out loud for all of them to hear. "want me to accompany you?" chrissy said and robin shook her head. the smaller girl smiled and went back to watching the movie.

robin knew that nancy wanted to talk to her, but she can't bring herself to do so. the signs were already present in nancy's eyes, she was dying to talk to robin. but robin isn't ready yo face nancy yet. she dreaded that she went here to see nancy wheeler, not everything is about nancy though, but inside her head, yeah sure.

robin exited the room and went to the restroom, carefully walking with her injured ankle. she did take a while because of her ankle, but when she opened the door to go back, nancy was present. she had an awkward smile and suddenly talked, "i caused that one, huh?" robin didn't know what nancy was talking about, but nancy's eyes traveled to robin's ankle. "oooh, that one. uhh, i guess?" robin met nancy's eyes again, those twinkling orbs that makes her feel warm inside.

they was suddenly a pregnant silence between them, not until nancy broke it. "hey robin, can i talk to you? just for a while. i promise it wouldn't take long..." nancy said and faced robin. the taller girl knew she couldn't resist, a part of her screams yes, and the other half screamed no. it was like in cartoon shows where the character had an angel and a devil telling them what to do. in the end, robin agreed while nancy pulled her to her room.

"so uhh, i just wanted to talk about what happened last wednesday.. if that's okay with you?" robin felt her stomach drop, if this is about nancy rejecting her, she would rather get hit by a bus. "sure." robin said with a slightly shaky breath. nancy smiled and held robin's hand, caressing it gently.

robin had a feeling, a fuzzy feeling approaching. first, nancy wanted to talk to her about that incident, and second, nancy held her hand. robin's head was spinning, she didn't know what to believe in right now.

"robin. i like you, i mean, i love you. you remember that time where we always hang out at skull rock? and you were listening to my rants and burying me in your arms when i was crying? right there, i knew i liked you, it was a scary feeling since i've never been attracted to women, well but now i do. and that wednesday night, i was too scared to tell you how i feel, i was scared about everything, but now, i am not anymore.. you know what? screw it!"

nancy suddenly attached her lips to robin's, it felt to surreal. she was happy that she did, and was more happy when robin returned it. they pulled back and robin leaned in to kiss her one more time.

"y'know wheeler? the moment i knew i loved you was when you cried in my arms for the first time, it was not because of pity but i felt an electric kind of wave in my veins." robin said and smiled at nancy, who was now in her arms.

"hey buckley, do you want to be my girlfriend? i figured out i need to step up my game since you confessed first." nancy giggled and robin's eyes almost popped out from their sockets. "are you kidding?! i would more than love to!" robin kissed nancy once more. a deep and passionate kiss.

"hey— oh, i'm so sorry! i'm so sorry!" chrissy barged in when robin and nancy were kissing. they were terrified that someone had caught them. "jesus christ, chrissy! can you please knock?!" nancy said a little too harsh, she was scared that chrissy would tell everyone but she knew chrissy was too pure for that.

"i'm sorry, i won't tell anyone, i promise!" chrissy raised her hands up in the air, pretending that she was getting caught by the cops. "your secret is safe with me, and don't worry, i'm like you guys." both robin and nancy looked at each other before they looked at chrissy. chrissy just smiled and shrugged, "well, that's how it is!" chrissy chuckled and told them that everyone was looking for them.

robin couldn't be more happy that she was nancy freakin' wheeler's girlfriend, and she was her first kiss. until know robin can't believe it, the girl of her dreams is hers to keep forever.

"what's inside you pretty mind?" nancy put her head on the crook of robin's neck. "nothing, i was just thinking about those days when you confessed and asked me to be your girlfriend." nancy looked up at robin and pecked her lips.

"i love you, wheeler."

"i love you most, buckley."
