For @hellion-child. Inspired by a little convo about this textpost and just how hilarious I find Robin barging into Nancy's bedroom in s4. Hel your textposts are an absolute joy 💖💖💖
"And this is my – Wha? Robin!"
But it's too late, Robin is barging past, squishing Steve up against the doorframe and leaving him choking out a hearty yelp before he can give any further introduction to his bedroom.
He should have known better, he guesses. His new friend had been pretty goddamn nosey throughout the rest of the house tour.
Steve straightens up and pulls at his striped vest, tugging it back into place as he watches Robin make a beeline for his dresser.
He scowls at his new friend as she ghosts her hands over everything sitting on top. His Little League trophy, some baseball cards and comics he had forgotten to pack away, his sparkling clean Wayfarers.
Robin pauses and makes a face.
"Your room is..." she hums, turning to scan the entire room, "It's really tidy... Too neat."
"What?" Steve defends, folding his arms, "I like keeping it neat."
"I need you in my bedroom," Robin says, spinning on her heel to step towards the desk. She freezes with her skinny fingers on the desk lamp switch, "Wait – that sounded way weird. I meant that I might need you to come over and help me clean my room. My Mom wants me to 'downsize' my wardrobe, which really means actually using it to store clothes and not craft supplies."
Her use of air quotations thankfully stops her from messing with the lamp, but instead, she runs her hands over the empty desk. A piece of furniture Steve has left untouched since graduating.
"A-ha!" Robin exclaims, pointing to his framed print of a red Corvette above, "You're a car guy."
She turns to the desk drawers now, her snooping failing to pause even for a reply to her commentary.
"Yeah," Steve answers, smacking her hand away as she reaches for the bottom desk drawer, because... well...
He and Robin might have escaped a Russian-controlled basement and survived a drugging and several monster attacks, but he isn't too sure if they are at, Sharing Titty Magazines-level of friendship just yet.
Even if Robin is already calling them, "best friends".
"I see," she winks, nudging Steve with a little too much force square in the stomach before she heads for his bed.
"I t-thought you wanted to go out to the pool?" he splutters, still a little sensitive to pretty much everything after Starcourt.
"We'll get to that," Robin calls over her shoulder.
"And it's way past lunchtime," he adds, looking at his watch as he begins to crave a sandwich.
It could be his muffled hearing, but Steve swears he hears his stomach rumble.
"Dude! Where is everything!" Robin demands, positively flailing her arms as she speaks at a whiplash pace, her voice creeping higher with every word, "Your stuff, your junk! Knick-knacks! Old stuffed animals. Movies! Music! Days-old clothes, random thoughts on a notepad!"
"I have boxes under my bed," he offers, thinking he is stating the obvious.
Robin drops to her bandaid-covered knees, all giddy with glee. She rubs her hands together before flinging back the plaid bedspread to reveal several plastic storage boxes, all labelled and aligned under the bed.
"Eureka!" she praises and looks up, smiling wide, "Come over here, Harrington, I need you to tell me everything while I look."
She beckons him over and Steve joins his best friend on the floor, ready to show off all his favourite things.
Except for his dirty magazines... For now.
