Byler Stranger Things SEASON 5 SCENES

"Will talks with Robin"

< Imagine Robin has just indirectly came out in a previous scene, not by her saying she's a lesbian or only likes girls, but maybe mentioning Vicky in a way that makes it clear she isn't straight >

(Robin packing items into a duffle bag)

(Will notices her and takes the chance)

(He knocks on the door)

(She quickly looks at him, surprised)

Robin: Oh, hey Will. Honestly you scared me a little bit there

Will: oh- sorry... about that.

...

could I talk with you for a moment?

Robin: yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.

(Will walks in nervously, shutting the door behind him)

(Robin races to the couch, sitting on it with her legs crossed)

(Will sits next to her)

Robin (smiling): Welcome to Robin's help centre. You are talking to the the owner, Robin. How may I be of need to you good sir?

Will (taken back): what?

Robin (whispering): It's just a bit of roleplay...

Will (overwhelmed by her presence): o... kay?

Robin: I thought this was your thing???
'Will the Wise'???

Will: y-yeah it is but...
I wanted to talk seriously with- with you.

Robin: Oh...
Okay...

...

(toned-down roleplaying) So what's the problem today?

Will: I mean... I just wanted to say that you were- super brave today. I mean- after doing what you did. I just wanted to congratulate you myself.

Robin (touched): oh... thanks Will. I thought maybe I shouldn't keep it as such a secret anymore.

Will (in agreement) yeah.

Not to sound rude but... I didn't know that you were...

Robin: gay? damn, like isn't it kind of obvious?

Will: well obviously not. Dustin kept talking about how much Steve liked you and then his sudden loss of interest.

Robin: hm. I guess that's a fair point.

...

(Will hesitates)

Will: Can I share something with you?
...

(Robin stares at him)

(intense) And could you promise me that you wouldn't tell a single soul?

Robin: of course!

(Will takes a deep breath in)

Will: I think I might be... like you-

Robin (interrupting): you like girls?

Will: no, no! The other way around...

Robin (pushing him, sarcastic): what's the other way round of you like girls?

(Will's knees begin anxiously shaking, and he looks down)

Robin: Dude, just say it! If you don't say it out loud right now, then when else are you going to be okay with yourself!?

(Will clenches his jaw in preparation)

Will: I...

like-

...

I...

like...

...

boys...

(Will surprises himself)

(Robin smiles at him, proudly)

Robin (roleplaying mode): oh, so this is what is going on? you like boys?

(waits for an answer)

(Will looks up)

...

(rolls his eyes)

Will: Yes.

Robin: And is there anyone in particular that you like at the minute?

(Will's eyes widen)
...

Robin: I'll take that silence as a yes.

...

(Robin leans in closer to Will)

Who is it?

(breaks eye contact with Robin)

Will: I don't- I don't think I should say...

Robin: Will.

(He looks back)

Robin: I swear whatever you tell me will stay between us. Let me just be like your an older sibling-

Will: I already have one of those-

Robin: Alright. An older gay sibling.

(Will believes she's never going to let it go, so...)

Will: It's- It's Mike... Wheeler.

(Robin scoffs)

Robin: What a dumbass I am...

of course it's mike!

Will: what!?

Robin: I thought I was just seeing things but  no...

you were really pining hard after a Wheeler.

Will (worried): was it obvious!?

Robin: Well, not to all these normies. It's just my intuition. Don't worry, no one else will catch on.

...

(Will is playing with his hands)

(Robin softens her voice)

Robin: well, best piece of advice I can give you is not to let anyone tell you how you can and can't act...

...

To stand up for yourself when people are pushing you around. To not rely on society to give you happiness with acceptance but to love yourself.

(She becomes quite and more personal)

And to never feel like you need to be fixed or that something is wrong with you.

(Will looks at her teary eyed)

You are perfectly fine just the way you are.

(Robin gives him a sweet smile)

Will (breaking): Thank you.

(They give each other a warm embrace)
