Dinner Date
For STWG daily drabble and, more importantly, for Goldie @steventhusiast. Happy Birthday, you deserve the world. I know you’re asleep right now, but it’s technically still your bday here. 
“Dingus, this is a really fancy restaurant.” Robin leans back in her chair, but her hand plays with the fork on her napkin. 
Steve sips his wine; some of it tips over the edge onto the tablecloth. “What? Can’t a guy take his best friend out to a fancy dinner?” He tilts his head and takes in his best friend. What was once an awkward teen now had a beautiful, but still awkward, woman in her place. 
“Steve, I love our friend dates, but usually they take place in a greasy diner or dollar pizza.” Robin picks the fork up and starts twirling it into her napkin. Steve watches her get mesmerized by the wrinkles that wrapped around the silverware, even though they both know the napkin should be in her lap by now. 
Steve smiles softly, moves his napkin from his lap to the table, and begins to mimic Robin. “Okay, maybe I wanted it to be a special occasion.”
Robin giggles at Steve's poor fork-twirling form and leans over the table to fix it for him. “All occasions are special when we are together, so that doesn’t really mean much.” Robin’s nose scrunches in concentration as she gently guides Steve’s hand. She has done this plenty of times before, guiding Steve where he needed to be. Like taking him to the bookstore near her college so he wouldn’t have to go into sex with Eddie blind, or when she taught him how to whisk eggs properly. Both are equally important skills he now uses in his everyday life. “But you seemed nervous. You keep sipping your wine, and I know for a fact that you hate dry wine.”
Steve puts down the glass that was halfway to his mouth, “It’s not my fault Moscato tastes like candy!”
Robin snorts, “Seriously, Dingus. It’s just me. What’s up?”
Steve puts down the fork and his glass and looks Robin in the eye. “I wanted to ask you to be my best man.”
Steve expects a lot of reactions out of her: excitement, an eye roll, hell, even straight-up rejection. Maybe a little speech about how weddings for them aren’t even legal. Instead, a look of betrayal crosses her face. “You asked Eddie to marry you, and you didn’t even tell me you were proposing?”
Immediately, Steve clenches his stomach in outrageous laughter, nearly having to bend over the table. Steve tries to take Robin seriously; he really does. But she is supposed to be the smart one out of the two of them. 
Rage takes over Robin completely as she reaches over the table to start slapping Steve’s arm. “Don’t laugh, you asshat! I am actually mad at you!”
“Ow—” Steve laughs. “Ow, Robin!” Another giggle escapes him as he gets her to sit back in her chair. “I’m laughing because, of course, I didn’t propose to Eddie without talking to you first.”
Robin settles a bit at this, “I’m confused.”
Steve reaches for her hand across the table; Robin doesn’t hesitate to wrap her fingers around his. “I’m asking you to be my Best Man first, doofus. Before I even pick out the damn ring. Which I definitely need you to steal one of Eddie’s rings for me so I can get the size; man watches those things like a hawk.” 
Robin squeezes his hand, “Wait, why would you ask me that first? Isn’t that kind of backwards.”
“I do everything kind of backwards, babe. Kinda the Steve Harrington special.” Steve rubs a thumb against the back of soulmate's hand. “Of course, I ask you about being my best man first. There would be no wedding without you, so if you say no, there would be no proposing.”
Steve could see tears beginning to fill Robin’s eyes, “What are you saying?”
“Whoever gets stuck with me gets stuck with you. We’re a package deal, babe.” 
Robin throws herself across the table, knocking the wine everywhere. Steve laughs and clenches her tightly. “Of course, I’ll be your best man! Someone’s gotta make sure you don’t hurt yourself going down the aisle.” She sobs.
Steve’s throat gets thick, “Pretty sure that’s the father's job, Robs. And you’d have to fight Jim for that role.”
“Fine.” Robin sniffs, leaning back to look him in the eye. “But I get stand by your side as you make a complete fool of yourself with your vows.” 
“Deal.”
Robin leans forward, placing her forehead against Steve’s. “You and me against the world, babe.”
Steve hugs her tight, “You and me against the world.”

Moving In w/ Eddie Munson
Tumblr media
Sorry for the lack of posts the last couple days I uhhhh had very good Friday night and let’s just say I now have some inspiration for some fics in the future. Once again thank you for showing support! Requests are open as well! I did just make a masterlist too!
✪ The pure joy this boy feels when you guys have secured your deposit on your new apartment is beyond comprehension
✪ You both had been working so hard to save up money and with Eddie finally graduating and finding a job the reality of waking up next to you everyday was finally coming true
✪ Packing up everything was a whole big ass task and you best believe that Eddie got the Hellfire Club to join in and help
✪ (even Steve came over although he was complaining the whole time about how much shit Eddie had laying around his room)
✪ When the time came to officially move in getting a good nights rest was off the table because of both of your excitement
✪ Loading up his van with the essentials first you made your way to your new place soon to be called home
✪ Eddie insists on bringing the heavy stuff in but your determined self wasn’t gonna sit back and relax
✪ “Woah woah! Babe that box is heavy. Let me get it.”
✪ After proving your strength dragging up the box full of kitchen appliances you wanted to plop down right then and there on the floor
✪ “I told you to let me get it…”
✪ Finishing the first round of boxes to drop off you knew it was going to be a long day
✪ For the second round of things Hellfire had finally showed up at the trailer
✪ (and Steve thanks to Dustin talking him into it)
✪ With a lot more help you were able to move things way faster and in fewer trips
✪ Although there were moments when everyone was getting tired and frustrated once everything was in the apartment it was all worth it
✪ Now with it being nightfall Eddie and you sit on the hand me down couch you managed to get while relaxing for the first time since that morning
✪ Making your bed for the first time together was something so simple but so exciting to Eddie
✪ All he could keep thinking is,’This is ours! Our bed! Our bedroom!’
✪ Total disbelief would follow him for the first few weeks in the apartment
✪ As you both began the unpacking process it led to a whole new excitement
✪ You were both able to mix your personalities and interests with your decor and Eddie putting your cassettes next to mine made his heart ecstatic
✪ Expect to be eating off paper plates during the whole getting settled in process because no way were either of you going to be doing dishes after having to work and unpack
✪ There were a few instances where you guys had a lot of back and forth with where certain things should go but Eddie let you have the final say on almost everything
✪ By almost everything I mean everything but where his baby goes (his guitar)
✪ “Eddie? Come here does this poster look straight?”
✪ “It looks great darling.”
✪ “Mmmm, no it needs to be lower on the right.”
✪ You both had your own designated spaces for your own things not just clothes but he had his own corner in the living room where he kept all his d&d stuff and of course there was a place for his guitar
✪ Like i said you both keep your music together and let’s just say it takes up the majority of the top of the dresser
✪ Actually all of it
✪ Completing the move in process after a month… yes a month shit takes time
✪ You invite Hellfire and your other friends over for a little housewarming party
✪ Everyone has a great time and it’s not hard to see how happy you and Eddie are now being on your own
✪ You did get a few thoughtful gifts from people
✪ Robin gave you a few horror VHS movies to add to your collection by the TV
✪ Dustin gave you both your very own walkie talkie which doesn’t seem all that exciting but he even tried to wrap it up and make it cute for you to open so clearly this boy cares
✪ The long night concludes and there you and Eddie are once again wrapped up in eachother on the couch
✪ Stars are shining through the windows and a dim light is coming from the kitchen
✪ Eddie just takes the moment in feeling you cuddled up in his arms, seeing the new home you’ve made together, and finally feels like his life is truly beginning

I have this dumb idea I have to get out of my head. ST AU where everyone works together in a corporate office, Vecna is the big bad boss, Will his PA, Nancy does marketing, Henderson runs IT, etc. So when Robin joins the party in suits on the 16th floor, her and Steve immediately have this glaring rivalry. Robin sends out email updates of Steve's loser scoreboard and Steve does his best to ignore her while also eating her muffins and stealing her coffee mug. Everyone sees it, everyone loves it, the chemistry is real. If only they'd get together! So the party devises a plan: handcuff them together! They think it's genius in its simplicity; force the two to hang out and actually get to know eachother so that they realize they're totally already in love.
It's Eddie who ends up doing the deed, as he's the one who already owns a set of cuffs. Pretty sure he runs social media because that would be hilarious. He catches Steve and Robin in the elevator and slaps the cuffs on their wrists. He says something like, Figure it out lovebirds, but do it before Chrissy's birthday cuz I'm gonna need those back. Steve and Robin are rightfully upset and over the evening they do start bonding over their shared misery and funny coworker stories. They end up at a bar in uptown called Maxine's or Max on Wheels or something, sipping mules and being discreetly handcuffed together when Heather walks in.
Hey babe, she says, and then, Hey Steve. Robin's like wtf when Steve is just like, Oh hey Heather, what're you doing here? Heather replies, Here for my girlfriend, duh.
Steve says, Where is your girlfriend? Heather steals a cherry from the bar and gives Robin's right boob a squeeze, replies, Right here.
Steve is like, Oooohhh.
Robin is still like, wtf, How do you two know eachother?
Heather says, This is Billy's boytoy.
Robin's like, Billy HARGROVE?!! Wait, you're gay?!!
Steve shrugs, I'm not straight.
So Billy's been flirting with you all night cuz you're together. Not cuz he's a slut for a tip, Robin concludes.
Heather stands on her toes to look down the bar, saying, Where is that bitch anyway?
Robin flails out, Wait wait wait waitwaitwa-- You're dating a dude, and I'm dating Heather, and we are both very not straight, and all of our coworkers are trying to get us together?
Steve snorts and agrees, shaking his head. He takes a sip of his drink and says, I've always kinda separated work from home yknow, but I'm sure I've at least talked about Billy.
That's when Billy comes over, leans over the bartop to kiss Heather on the cheek and smiles, Hey sweetcheeks, what can I get ya?
Heather nearly screams, Get me a bottle of vodka in a sippycup cuz I think our girls are wearing handcuffs!
What? Billy lifts an eyebrow at Steve who finally moves their shackled hands from under the bar to the dim light. Him and Robin both do jazz hands and then giggle uncontrollably.
Huh, Billy says. He winks at Heather, Could get kinky.
She just rolls her eyes and fishes a handcuff key from out of her purse.
