The Babysitters ♡ Steve Harrington

Season 4 Episode 1

It was March. I was about to finish my senior year, thankfully. I still work at Family Video with Steve and Robin. We're very close. Steve drives Robin and I to school every morning.

Robin was doing her makeup in the backseat as Steve was ranting about our date last night. 

"Then, I give Athena these flowers, right? These beautiful red flowers as I taught her to drive...and she ran them over. The red flowers. Gone." Steve said.

"You were the one who left the flowers on the ground! I told you to give them to my mom before we left but no, Stevie wanted to place them on the road!" I glared.

Steve was silent for a moment. "I thought you were gonna drive forward, not backwards."

"Oh, ha ha." I deadpanned. 

Steve smirked, squeezing my leg with his hand as it trailed up my thigh.

"Hey! I said I was fine with thigh holding, not thigh groping!" Robin spoke up, seeing Steve's hand trailing around my leg.

"Fine, fine. Sorry." Steve moved his hand back down.

"It's seven in the morning and we have the stupid pep rally, and I woke up looking like a corpse." Robin pulled at her face.

"What? Birdy, you look great." I turned around and looked back at her.

"No! You have no say." Robin pointed at me. "You wake up every morning looking like a model."

"No, I don't." I muttered, facing the front again.

"Uh, yeah, you do." Steve nodded. Then he looked in the rearview mirror at Robin. "You're worried about a basketball pep rally? You expect me to believe that?"

"Yeah? So?" Robin lied.

"So, we all know what this is about." Steve said. 

"Yeah, we're not buying that bullshit. This is about Vickie." I said. 

Vickie is a girl that Robin has a crush on. I'm determined to make them a couple.

"Absolutely not." Robin shook her head.

"Yes, it is. You know what else?" Steve began.

"I really don't care-" Robin began.

"I think you gotta stop pretending to be someone else when you're around her. Okay? You just gotta be yourself." Steve said.

"Oh, like you were 'yourself' to Athena these past years?" Robin raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah." Steve nodded.

"I molded him into a new man. See, no longer a douche." I smiled.

"Stop calling me a douche." Steve groaned.

"He's literally quoting me!" Robin yelled.

"Maybe you need to listen to yourself. You ever think about that, smarty pants?" Steve replied.

"You don't get it, if I ask out the wrong girl, and she says no. Bam, I'm a town pariah." Robin waved her hands around.

"I'd buy that, except Vickie is definitely not the wrong girl." Steve said.

"And how would you know that?" I questioned.

"She returned Fast Times paused at fifty three minutes, five seconds." Steve said, he looked over at me for a moment. "You wouldn't know that, because you don't ever do your job."

I nodded with a smirk. That's true.

"Do you two know who pauses Fast Times at fifty three minutes, five seconds?" Steve asked.
