[inimitable-muse]

your first date with robin

[robin buckley x reader]

request: hi! could you do a hc for robin x reader on what their first date would be like? and when you can could you write something about their first “i love you”? basically anything with robin + fluff! thanks! 💘

warning: none.

author’s note: i decided to save the first i love you request for another post which will fit well in terms of its narrative, so that will be coming soon :) this serves as a continuation of the 'meeting robin for the first time’ headcanons i wrote a while ago which can be read here.

with you talking on the phone with robin for days on end and your constant visits to family video

the realisation hit that you guys still have yet to plan a date

ofc you and robin got caught up in the ‘will we? won’t we?’ dance, slightly teasing but shying away from the subject of your growing interest in one another

cause you know, suspense!!!!

your guys’ inability to move things forward was starting to get maddening

especially for keith

he was catching on to how you would only drop by the store just to talk to robin 

“quit distracting our employees, you’re ruining business here!”

“isn’t that the whole point keith? for people to come up to us and- you know what, just forget it” - robin

although not the slightest bit intimidating, he was threatening to kick you out if you didn’t rent out at least two tapes

this whole situation acted as a catalyst of some sort

it was now or never, you had to make your move

“well i just stopped by to see if you wanted to…”

“to...?” she was anticipating what was going to come out of your mouth next

“go on a date”

robin leans her elbow on the counter, propping her chin on her hand, “sure, with who?”

what a smartass

you jokingly roll your eyes at her, “with me, of course,” and eventually a smile slowly tugs at the corner of your mouth

“well it took you long enough [y/n]”

now it was time to think of what to do

there aren’t many exciting things to do in hawkins besides:

a) starcourt mall which *spoiler alert* is now obliterated

and b) the arcade, although fun, is filled with too many annoying kids

you were stumped on where to go

it wasn’t until robin ended up ringing you in the middle of the night talking

telling you about how an annual roller rink is set up in hawkins and open from a limited period of time before it moves to the next town over

you were open to the idea, but one problem came up

“robin, i have no idea how to skate”

“don’t worry, i’ll teach you… eventhoughibarelyknowhowtomyself”

“what?”

“alright goodnight!”

so it was official

the idea of roller skating as a first date was perfect, but not so perfect at the same time

cause you and robin had little to no experience

but it would provide you both the opportunity to learn together (a great bonding experience, if you will)

so the date goes as follows:

as soon as you and robin enter the place, you’re immediately greeted with a kaleidoscope of colours flashing before your eyes

with neon strobe lights blinking intricate patterns

the latest releases of songs blaring from the speakers located at every wall

as well as a whirlpool of skaters gliding smoothly to the beat

you two were pumped

robin promptly gets the correct roller skates sizes for the both of you and you start to tug your shoelaces tight

as soon as you get ready to step into the rink, your confidence disappears and is instead replaced by nerves

robin notices your sudden change of mood

“hey, it’ll be fun don’t sweat it,” she reassures you as she rubs your arm

you take her words in for a second and believed them

when you got started, it wasn’t all that bad

depends if you consider ‘not all bad’ as just you clinging on the barrier of the rink for dear life for 10 minutes

but after a bit of convincing from robin, you release yourself from that sense of safety that the barrier provided you

what she says she knows about the basics of roller skating was “slightly bend your knees and kick off one foot and the other, so you keep up a continuous momentum”

so you do just that

unfortunately your efforts are futile, you just barely end up gliding across the rink

you’re like a deer stranded on thin ice, awkwardly stumbling around in one spot

robin finds the whole thing endearing, and she continues to help you out

after a few falls and bumps here and there, slow but surely you were getting the hang of skating

“hey look robin, i’m finally doing it!”

she watches as you crash into two people

oops nevermind

you were contemplating whether or not to resort back to holding onto the barrier again

just for the sake of not developing anymore bruises

“are you sure you don’t want to grab onto me?” robin suggests

“if i'm going down, you’re going to get dragged down with me”

out of nowhere she grabs your hand and threads her fingers with your own, it takes you by surprise

“that won’t stop me in the slightest”

robin’s confidence was admirable, it was something you wanted to gain for yourself

she winks at you, “let’s roll”

very punny

you hold onto her hand so tight, you swear your knuckles are gonna burst

also you were hoping robin doesn’t notice your palms sweating

not because you were afraid of falling cause you did that too many times already

oh no no

it’s cause you were holding her hand

or she was holding your hand

anyways, how could we forget

it wouldn’t be a proper roller rink without the highly anticipated “couples only” skate segment

the whole atmosphere changes in an instant, all the lights turn into a cool blue and a mirrorball descends from the ceiling

you and robin find yourselves in the middle of the rink, surrounded by a myriad of people pairing up and circling around you both

robin turns to look at you with a sheepish smile “you think you got the hang of it?”

you just lightly nod at robin which compels her to move closer next to you

so close that you’re brushing shoulders

in a collaborative effort, you both begin with your right foot and start to move slowly along the main direction people were going in

robin cautiously snakes her arm around your waste

“it’s just for more stability... if that’s okay with you”

sure jan

you utter a light “yeah, o-of course,” and do the same thing with her

subconsciously, you can’t help but rest yourself against robin’s shoulder

the disc jockey starts playing how deep is your love by the beegees to set the mood

the two of you didn’t have many words to say for the duration of the couple skate besides stealing brief glances

robin was just happy to be near you, to be close to you right now

getting lost into the trance of the music, and all that

you two are getting used to the pace at which you were skating, and your movements are in sync together

growing confident in your skills, your footwork becomes more swift and agile which robin silently admired

your hair is caught in the slight breeze as you pace faster, you’re starting to feel invisible as you take the reigns

combined with that, there was something about the lights reflecting off the mirrorball and decorating your face in all the right areas that makes robin’s heart skip a beat

she gets all too consumed with her thoughts and accidentally misses a turn that you simultaneously try to make

suddenly you both are heading towards the barrier at a fast rate

“oh shit”

you try to help swerve away from the direction you both were going in, but you end up losing balance

it results in the equilibrium you two have going to falter

where your left leg clashes into robin’s right leg

while you are leaning backwards and she is leaning way too forward

both your guys’ arms are interlocked tighter than ever, preparing for the inevitable impact

as expected, you and robin end up tumbling to the ground which catches the attention of the other couples in the rink

your cheeks begin to turn hot as you find yourself lying on top of her

you worry for robin as she was the one to land on her lower back

“are you okay???” you gently shake robin by her shoulders

she doesn’t respond to you at first, but you could feel a slight chuckle vibrating against her chest

robin abruptly starts laughing out loud which startles you

you didn’t know if she was laughing because the situation was funny, extremely embarrassing, painful, or a combination of all three

either way you can’t help but succumb to her air of hysteria, robin’s laugh is too infectious to avoid

time (as well as some people) stood still and it was just the two of you in your own world

the music drowns out, and you and robin don’t care to shamefully avoid the eyes of onlookers

finally when you guys compose yourselves, you steadily get up and try to help her off the ground

“c'mon let’s get out of here, i think us amateurs ruined the mood for these so-called professionals” robin grins as she reaches your level, one of her hands still interlocking with your own

“you think?”

still in a daze, robin’s only response to your quip is to playfully nudge you

as you guys return your roller skates to the counter and make your way to the exit

you and robin suddenly stop in unison to notice something in the corner

it’s a photobooth

the two of you share a look and instinctively know what you wanted to do without even saying it at all

although your first date with robin didn’t go quite as how you planned it in your head

she promised there will be more (and even better) ones to come

robin also got something to commemorate your guys’ first date too

a single black and white photo of you kissing her cheek, that is tucked safe in her wallet

meeting robin for the first time

[robin buckley x reader]

request: kinda. this is sort of a prelude to the other robin x reader headcanon requests i’ve received. all of them combined would be too long of a post, so i decided to instead split them apart. i’ll be finishing off and posting the other headcanons real soon, so stay tuned for that !

warning: none.

author’s note: um so i’m crazy and just went loose with this one. i wrote like a complete script unintentionally lmaooo, hope you guys like it though :) taglist is at the bottom of the post.

you guys first met each other in the middle of october

this was around the time that robin was adjusting to her new job at family video

you were a frequent customer there, swinging by every friday night to pick out some films for your own movie marathons

while at the same time trying to avoid the nuisance that was keith the sales clerk

"i will let you take out six tapes at a time if you can land me a date with nancy wheeler!"

"no keith"

robin was already familiar with your face and vice versa

she would often see you lurking between the isles from time to time, taking ages to find the perfect film

but you both never really interacted fully

until now

as soon as you entered the doors of family video on a typical friday night, it felt different

more calm and peaceful

probably because keith’s shift wasn’t on today and that made you sigh in relief

however, it was robin’s one instead

ohohohoho

from her own observations, robin seen you as the type of person who wasn’t adventurous when it came to your selection of films to rent out

for instance, there would be times where you would pick the most pedestrian choices like the breakfast club and teen wolf

but today was different

you would end up going left field and surprise her when you turned up to the front counter with the awful dr. orlof in hand

an interesting choice to say to least

robin stares at the VHS box for a brief moment

the dark and strange illustrations of the cover contrasted with your... normal-ness?

it was the perfect time to finally strike up a proper conversation with you

or so she thought

it turns out sometimes her witty comments and deadpan humour doesn't translate well with some people

and by some people meaning you

“hm, i couldn’t really see you as being a macabre fan”

you got caught off guard by her remark. “uh sorry but, what did you say?”

“well, judging by your previous purchases on the system you seem to go more for the john hughes-y type of direction, y’know, movies with rose tinted glass endings and whatever”

you were a relatively nice person, but at the same time not afraid to get feisty when you felt like someone was trying to take a personal jab at you taking risks

“right, well frankly i’m not here to be psycho-analysed through my taste in film, so just tell me how much it costs and-“

“oh god no, that’s not what i was intending at all!”

both of you go quiet

it’s almost 10:00 pm and you’re the only customer here

the clock is ticking

“look... er”

“[y/n]” you give robin your name

“okay, [y/n], it’s just that i noticed that every time you come in here you would always rent these teeny bopper films and now...”

“now...?”

“now you’re getting something completely out of your usual range”

“usual range?” you scoff, “i guess it’s a crime to get something else out of the ordinary then”

robin pinches her nose and exhales

“i'll let you on a little secret, that’s not even a good film”

you glance back at the VHS box, feeling annoyed when suddenly

“at least check out eyes without a face. firstly, it’s in the same vein as the awful dr. orlof but way less shittier. the plot is easy to understand and the characters are actually complex and well written”

as robin stops her rambling, you take a second to gather your thoughts

“do you have it in store?”

“not currently, no... but it’s gonna be returned hopefully by next week”

you ponder for a bit, “i can wait, but i’m still getting this one anyway”

you slide the VHS towards robin with two fingers

“suit yourself, that will be five dollars for three nights”

you pay, yadda yadda and then you finally apologise

“hey... i’m sorry for the hostility, it was totally unlike me”

robin simmers down, “i should be the one saying sorry, i made this whole big misunderstanding all because i was being nosy about what you were gonna watch”

you laugh to ease the tension

“you clearly know your stuff, robin, you're like a movie aficionado”

“wait a seco- how do you know my name again?

“look down at your shirt,” you laugh even harder

ffs robin your name tag

she's feeling delirious and it has been a long day

and now robin is all flustered and doesn't know what to say back aw

it wasn't really love at first sight that occurred that night per se, but for her it was more along the lines of there's something about [y/n] that makes me wanna find out more about them

so a few days later and the heated, yet oddly passionate exchange with robin stirred something inside of you

it basically compelled you to come by to family video two times a week

which soon changed to three

then four

and subsequently five

at one point keith noticed your oddly periodic visits to the store

"didn't you already rent that movie out for the second time this week?" he questions, eyebrows furrowed as he focuses on opening a bag of doritos

"nope! this one is the sequel"

robin would laugh quietly to herself as she scans the barcode

you didn't really care how some people were catching on the fact that you would come in the store nearly everyday

you just wanted an excuse to chat to robin

everyday

even if that meant that you would be wasting tons of money on renting obscure foreign films that you would never pay attention to half the time

clearly robin didn’t mind it at all

she was perhaps a little bit more excited to see you than you anticipated

"tell me how that one goes [y/n], give a review or something next time you drop by"

"well i can finish it by tonight and give it back first thing in the morning?"

"yeah, that sounds good." robin presses her lips together to suppress a giddy smile as she watches you head straight towards the front door

"b-but i wouldn't want you to rush that film though, it's almost three hours long!" she shouts from the counter

you exclaim back, "i'll manage!" as you face towards robin, starting to walk backwards

but dammit [y/n]

you accidentally stumble and bump into that blimin phoebe cates cardboard cutout

oh how the tables have turned between you both

robin tries her best to contain her amused expression in such a professional work environment

whereas you just wanted to shrink inside your sweater and die right there and then

but at that moment, she found you too cute and endearing to resist

now it was a saturday afternoon and business was slow

robin was sorting out all the tapes in the return box

but one film caught her eye in particular

eyes without a face

before you left the store, you managed to write a little message on a piece of paper and carefully slip it inside its VHS box

robin is able to get a hold of it

"you were right, this is way better” - [y/n]

she was full on beaming

robin unconsciously flips to the other side not expecting anything

but !

to her delight she sees your phone number written all prim and proper

:))))

"heya steve, can i borrow the phone for a sec? i need to make a quick order"

working at scoops ahoy with steve

[steve harrington x reader]

request: hcs on what it’d be like to work at scoops w steve !!!!

warning: none.

author’s note: had to re-upload again because of weird formatting. i kinda went overboard with this, so enjoy!

first of all, it’s an absolute miracle that you and steve get actual work done at scoops without being all over each other

okay maybe that was an overstatement

there were a few times in the past where you both would unintentionally go against the code of conduct

aka sporadic make out sessions in the storage room during the last few minutes of the shift

but besides that

robin would be the one getting both of you in line, which would end up saving your guys’ asses from getting fired on several occasions

exhibit a:

it was a tuesday afternoon and it was your turn serving the ice cream, while steve was busy getting orders at the counter

he turns around for a brief moment and notices you having trouble getting a decent scoop of hokey pokey from the container

steve smiles to himself while he watches you struggling, he begins to walk over behind you

“need some help, sailor?”

you chuckle beneath your breath, “steve, i got this under control”

“i know, i know”

steve hopes nobody sees what he was about to do next

he sneakily loops his arms around your waist, reaching for your hands and clasps them together to help scoop the ice cream out

“…but having an extra hand or two wouldn’t hurt”

the heat rises to your cheeks, you were about to say something coy in return until

“steve! [y/n]! one customer has been waiting on their hokey pokey for quite some time now” robin suddenly emerges out from the back door

both you and steve jump out of your skin and instinctively separate from each other’s grasp

“i-i’m on it!” you barely manage to get the words out

rushing to place the ice cream scoop into the cone, you finally serve it to the poor customer who witnessed the whole ordeal

steve is still trying to compose himself while robin is having a blast, finding the whole situation amusing

“have a great day!” you exclaim at the counter, promptly going back to work

as soon as the customer leaves, robin bursts out laughing which leaves both you and steve confused

“why don’t you lovebirds save that handsy action for the bedroom?”

she gives a wink and scurries back to the door

you turn even more red than before

steve huffs into the palm of his hand, “oh just shut up robin”

that’s just one of the many instances that you and steve longed to be a little more closer than usual

both of you barely got time to yourselves during this strenuous job, so who can blame you ?

however a normal day at scoops usually consists of dustin visiting you guys whenever he can

he’s your #1 customer

dustin would hang around during yours and steve’s shifts

from when you start serving ice cream in the early morning, up until when you start cleaning up the tables and closing up the store

he would entertain you with his stories from summer camp, and gushing over his girlfriend who is suspiciously hotter than phoebe cates

towards the end of the shift you would treat dustin with his very own custom banana split and shake for basically being a good friend to steve

oh and let’s not forgot your #2 customer, erica

she would come to scoops almost everyday with her group, abusing the free sample policy with no consequences

you always somehow end up falling into her persuasion

“hmm, how about you give me the rocky road?”

“a-another one? erica i don’t think it’s a part of our rules to-“

there are times where steve has to step in and be the voice of reason

“oh gee why don’t you look at that, we’re running out of samples!”

but it backfires completely

“listen up nerds, if i don’t get another sample i’m gonna start making a scene and say that i found a thick strand of brown hair in my strawberry sundae”

running a hand through his hair, steve goes dead silent at the realization

oh

shit

he forgot to wear the stupid sailor hat, again

“oh no no erica, you wouldn’t” he silently begs over the counter, trying to avoid making a commotion

“oh yes i would big head, now that wouldn’t look good on this store’s health inspection report, now would it?”

you can’t believe how a child like erica sinclair can be capable of being so cruel

“now get onto it!”

you simply give into her orders and begin scooping out the rocky road, “aye aye, captain”

during breaks you and steve would sneak out to a secluded place outside of starcourt mall and eat samples of ice cream that you guys stole

sometimes these moments would end up in you both getting into heated arguments over which ice cream flavour is superior

“vanilla?” steve stares in disbelief, “wow [y/n], i didn’t recall you being a plain jane”

“what are you taking about! this is some good stuff, it’s all about the subtly of its flavour”

“pshh subtly my ass, it’s like one of the most boring flavours in our entire menu”

if eleven’s super powers are telepathy and flipping over cars, then steve’s one would be surprisingly picking out the most outlandish, yet best ice cream flavours

“well fine, how about you let me try some of your…”

“pear with blue cheese?” he answers confidently

“i can’t believe we sell that”

“hey, don’t knock its name til’ you try it”

spoiler alert: he is proven to be right

even though steve is stuck in a boring 9-5 job, scooping ice cream for annoying kids in this hot, sweaty weather and earning minimum wage whilst doing so

just having you by his side 5 days a week makes his summer a little more enjoyable

A/N: this is sososo rushed and i’m so sorry it’s so short and bad but I really wanted to post something for christmas! merry christmas if you celebrate it, my friends! ily :)

You’ve never been so glad that it’s Friday in your entire life. Since it’s late December and Christmas break starts Monday, your teachers have been inundating you with lengthy papers, research projects, and unit exams in a last-ditch attempt to get some more numbers in the grade book. You don’t know how you survived all of that on top of everything that happened back in November, but somehow you made it through without injury and with (most of) your sanity. You’ve been half channel-surfing, half cat-napping since you got home a few hours ago, and you’re in the middle of one of said naps when your little brother strides into the room.

“Y/N?”

When you don’t respond, Dustin walks over and shakes your shoulder. “Y/N!”

“Five more minutes,” you mutter, rolling over so your face is pressed into the back of the couch.

“You’ve been lying there for four hours.”

“Not long enough.”

“There were a couple times where you were so out cold that I considered checking your pulse to make sure you weren’t dead.”

“‘To die, to sleep—to sleep, perchance to dream….’”

“What?”

“Hamlet,” you murmur, pulling the old afghan hanging over the back of the couch onto your head.

He chuckles. “You’re the only person I know who quotes Shakespeare when she’s half asleep.”

“Thanks.”

“That wasn’t even a compli—you know what? Nevermind. I have a question.” He lifts the blanket off of you. With a heavy sigh, you stretch languidly and sit up to face him. You notice that he’s wringing his hands like he only does when he’s nervous. That’s kind of a red flag: the last time he was anxious about telling you something, you ended up learning about the Upside Down and all of the horrors that came along with it. This can’t be about that, can it? You sit up taller.

“Do you—do you wanna come drive around and look at Christmas lights?”

You let out a breath you didn’t even realize you’d been holding in. “Wait, really? That’s it?”

His face, which had been adorned by a cautiously hopeful expression, falls instantly. “It’s stupid, I know. You don’t have to come.”

You rush to correct yourself. “Oh, no, Dustin, that’s not what I meant at all! No, I definitely want to go. You just caught me by surprise.”

→ suggesting prompts would be ideal, please! i need something to begin on rather than starting from something vague (e.g character x reader fluff).

happy requesting!
