imagine dating robin but having to hide it from people
being in a homosexual relationship in the 80's was hard. like really hard. barely anyone was accepting of it and so far only steve and dustin knew that you two were together.
one day whilst at the mall, you were with your girlfriend when a group of boys came up to the two of you.
"are you together?" one of the boys asked in a rude tone. you and robin looked at each other, worry in both your eyes.
"what?" you said as you looked back at the large man standing in front of you, arms folded across his chest as a girl flung herself on him. there was another guy and girl that were also standing there, giving you dirty looks.
"you heard me, dyke. it's disgusting." your heart instantly beat faster as you looked at your girlfriend.
"we're just friends." she said quietly, a half convincing smile on her face. the second guy scoffed and took the girl away, as if he was disappointed.
"you better be, that shits disgusting. i don't wanna see that in my town." he spat before walking away, robin immediately got up and left the mall, you following closely behind her. she led you to the side of the mall, where it would be quiet.
"that was so scary." she whispered, tears filling her eyes. you pulled her into a hug and reassured her that she was okay.
"it's okay, we're okay." you whispered. she pulled away from you and shook your head.
"no, y/n, we're not. maybe this isn't such a good idea." shock fan over your face, a tear running down your cheek.
"what are you saying?"
"i'm saying that...maybe we shouldn't be together. it's all too much. it's too dangerous, y/n!" you shook your head and scoffed, before grabbing robins shoulders.
"no, okay, listen to me. i love you, okay? i'm not giving up on you. and yeah, that was scary, but maybe in a few years, people will be more accepting of us. please, robin. don't do this."
she looked at you and fell into your arms. "i'm sorry."
"no it's okay. maybe we shouldn't go out on our own though, at least have steve or someone."
"yeah that's a good idea."
she pulled away from the hug and looked around before kissing you.
"let's go home."

also, i came out to my nan last night! she's the first family member i've golf and i wanted her to be the first because we have a very close relationship and i love her so much. she was very supportive of my bisexuality and also my decision not to tell anyone else yet. knowing that i have her support and her love means everything to me. she's really an amazing woman. 💕
