A few days after their first kiss, Eddie and Steve became busy with the other demands in their lives, and couldn't see each other as much as they wanted. Steve picked up more shifts at Family Video to make a little bit more money for himself and Eddie was busy planning the next D&D campaign for the Hellfire Club.

Steve had been getting pestered by Robin all day, and couldn't keep his mind off Eddie while that happened. Robin snapped her fingers in front of his face.

"Hello? Dingus?" She said dramatically, sighing and jumping up onto the counter to sit on it.

Steve snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Robin. "I'm sorry. I keep zoning out and I don't know why."

"You haven't been yourself for a couple days now. What happened between the day I covered for you and today?" Robin interrogated, grabbing a candy bar from the counter.

Steve really wanted to tell Robin what had happened between him and Eddie. He really wanted to tell her that he thought he was bisexual, and to see if she had any good advice for him. He hesitated telling her, but that hesitation soon went away as he realized that Robin was his best friend. And she liked girls. He knew she wouldn't judge him.

"Can I tell you something, Robs?" He asked quietly, running his hand through his hair.

"Considering I'm your best friend, you can tell me anything, Steve," Robin answered playfully. She could tell that whatever he was about to tell her was extremely important, and it seemed to be weighing on him slightly.

"You've heard of the term bisexual, right?" Steve but his lip out of nervousness, and his question got an eyebrow raise from Robin.

"Yes, Steve. It's what I thought I was when I first realized I liked girls. Why do you ask?"

"I think I might be bisexual," Steve sighed, waiting to hear Robin's reaction. He knew he didn't have to be nervous about what she was going to say, but his thoughts were still very fuzzy on the whole thing.

"Why's that?" Robin swung her legs as she leaned back on her hands.

"Eddie and I made out," Steve muttered, not quite loud enough for Robin to hear him. Robin became confused.

"I didn't hear a word you said, dingus."

"Eddie and I made out. And I like him. A lot," Steve blurted out, fidgeting with his work vest out of anxiousness.

"Harrington finally got a winning date! That's exciting," Robin was truly happy for her best friend. His failed dates brought him down, and she was happy to see that he actually had feelings for someone, rather than just going on pointless dates.

"I can't stop thinking about him, Robin. Like the thoughts are becoming a little too... too much," Steve tried to put it nicely, but realistically, he'd been having very sexual thoughts about Eddie. He couldn't stop them.

"So, what I'm hearing is, you need to have sex with him," Robin gave Steve a light nudge on his shoulder, and Steve's eyes went wide.

"Robin! God. I don't think I'd go that far," he shook his head. "But I wouldn't be opposed to it."

"After we're done with work, you need to go to Eddie's trailer. You need to get these.. feelings out somehow," Robin suggested, giving Steve a wink and hopping off of the front counter.

"You're suggesting I have sex with him. Tonight," Steve raised his eyebrows and Robin nodded, stuffing the last of her candy bar in her mouth. "Robs, we kissed for the first time just the other day, what makes you think we're both ready for that?"
