Stranger Things Ronance One-Shots

What's Wrong?

Nancy's POV:

I'm walking down the empty hallways, on my way back to class from talking with another teacher. As I approach the stairs, I hear some strange sounds coming from the top. It sounds like...crying.

As I slowly walk up the stairs, I can hear the cries more and more. When I get to the top, I see who it is, and I'm shocked. It was Robin.

She was hugging her knees while her face was buried to hide the sound of her cries. I couldn't believe what I saw, she's never been like this before.

Me: "Robin?"

She immediately stopped crying,  quickly wiped her eyes of any tears she had and looked up at me.

Robin: *sniffles* "Oh...hey, Nancy."

Me: *softly* "What's wrong?"

Robin: "I... I don't want to talk about it."

Me: *softly* "Well... you know you're welcome to talk to me about anything, if you want, right?"

Robin: *sniffles* "Yeah, but... this just feels more... different. You might not like it."

I sit down next to Robin.

Me: *softly* "Try me."

Robin takes a deep breath.

Robin: "Alright, well... I was just walking down the halls up here, and... a few people walking the opposite direction... started making fun of me."

Making fun of Robin? Why would they do that to her?

Me: *softly* "Oh... I'm sorry that happened."

Robin: *sniffles* "Don't be... you weren't them."

Me: *softly* "I know, but... I still care. Is it alright if I ask exactly what they said?"

Robin: "Well... they called me certain names, like... the names people call others who are... different."

This confused me a little bit.

Me: "Different how?"

Robin: "Are you sure you want to know?"

Me: "Well... you don't have to say, if you don't want to."

Robin: "No, I... think you should know. They... used the words "dyke," and "queer," and... just a bunch of those kinds of names."

My eyes widened with shock.

Me: "Why would they say that you?"

Robin: "Because... it's true."

Robin's POV:

As soon as I said that, I broke down in more tears, and Nancy pulled me into a hug and let me cry in her arms. It was really embarrassing for me to be seen like this, but I just really needed to let it all out of my system. When we pulled away, she wiped away some of the tears I still had on my eyes.

Nancy: *softly* "Don't let those people get to you, they obviously don't know you like I do."

Me: *sniffles* "I know, but... I actually like this one girl a lot, and... I was crying because I'm scared that she might not feel the same way."

Nancy: "Oh, really...? Well... maybe I can help you tell her how you feel."

Me: "Umm... it might not be that simple."

Nancy: "Why is that?"

Me: "Well... the girl I like is really close to me, and if I say how I feel to her and she doesn't feel the same way... it could ruin our friendship."

Nancy: "Is it alright if I ask who it is?"

I took a deep breath to prepare myself for what I was about to do.

Me: "Does this answer your question?"

After saying that, I did the most unexpected thing ever: I kissed Nancy. When I pulled away, she looked a little shocked, but to my absolute surprise, she put her hand on the side of my face, and kissed me back. We both kissed for a few good seconds, and we pulled away.

Nancy: *smiles sweetly* "It certainly answers your question, too."
