A/N: I know it's late for the event, but I wanted to still post the rest of my fills anyway!
If someone had told him in high school what his life would be like when he was his current age, he was fairly certain heâd think they were crazy. Oh, he wouldnât change how things had turned out for anything, but it definitely wasnât what he expected at 16.
When he was in high school, heâd thought heâd work at his fatherâs company and marry his high school sweetheart and have a half dozen kids. Now, though, he hadnât spoken to his father in a decade, which was fine by him. He did marry someone from his high school, but they werenât exactly sweethearts, and they didnât really get to know each other until after heâd graduated. Theyâd also stopped at three kids (which both of them were fine with).
The one thing heâd been really worried about in high school, though, was turning out like his father. Not being in love with his wife, cheating on her, not caring about his kids.
Well, okay. He could admit he wasnât in love with his wife. But Robin wasnât in love with him either! Theyâre happy being platonically married.
When they were younger and more newly married, he had slept around with people that werenât his wife, but so did she! It wasnât like they didnât know about the otherâs escapades, either. (Theyâd stopped once they decided to have kids, not wanting to risk anything, but now that the kids were growing up, theyâd talked about trying to get out there again.)
And the last concern? Now, he doesnât even know why he was worried about that. He loves his kids more than anything. Theyâre his whole world, them and Robin.
That is what he wishes he could show that lonely kid, all alone in that big house, wishing his parents loved him, that anyone loved him.
That heâs so happy now. That his life is so full of love.

âWhy do you look like that?â Steve asked Robin, looking up at her from the magazine he was reading.
âLike what?â she asked back, turning away from the front window of the Family Video and back to the shelf sheâd been stocking.
âI dunno,â he said, gesturing at her. âLike someone killed your cat or something.â
âI donât have a cat,â she said.
He knew she was being purposefully obtuse. âRobs.â
Finally, Robin let out a deep sigh. âI think Danâs back in town.â
âHuh?â
âIâm pretty sure I just saw Vickie and Dan walking down the street together,â she said sadly.
Steve put his magazine down immediately and headed over to her. âOh, Iâm sorry, Robbie,â he said in a soft, gentle tone and wrapped her in a hug.

Why was the drive to the high school so long?
Alright, it was less than fifteen minutes from Dustinâs house, but that was fifteen minutes too long some days. Especially the ones like today.
As usual, he picked Robin up first before going to Dustinâs (even though that meant he had to backtrack; he wasnât dealing with the fight that would ensue from Dustin refusing to give up the passenger seat), and as soon as Dustin got in the car he was harassing the two of them.
âWhy wonât you just admit youâre dating already?â he asked. Again. âLike, everyone already knows it, so thereâs no point in keeping it a secret!â
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Robin puffing up, capping her mascara instead of finishing the application, and knew this wasnât going to end well.
âHow many times do we have to tell you, mini-dingus? Weâre platonic with a capital P!â she snapped at Dustin.
âYeah, right!â he huffed back at her. âYou two are always together, and youâre always hanging off each other.â
âIâm a lesbian!â Robin blurted angrily, and Steve slammed on the brakes, quickly pulling off to the curb.
Damage control. He needed to do damage control.
Already, Robin was shrinking back into her seat, staring through the windshield at nothing.
He looked back at Dustin, who looked so confused and was opening his mouth to say something, but he cut him off with a Look before turning to Robin.
âHey, Robs,â he soothed, reaching out to hold her hand. âEverythingâs okay. Itâs just Dustin. He wonât say anything.â
Robin still wouldnât look at him, so he gave Dustin another Look and gestured toward Robin with his head.
âYeah, itâs okay,â Dustin said tentatively. âI wonât say anything to anyone. Promise. I donât care if you like girls.â
âOkay,â Robin said so softly Steve almost didnât hear her.
âIâm sorry for bugging you guys so much,â Dustin apologized to her. âI didnât mean to make you feel like that.â
Robin finally turned and gave Dustin a small smile. âItâs okay. I forgive you.â

A/N: I know it's late for the event, but I wanted to still post the rest of my fills anyway! Also, this is more Steve than Stobin, but I thought it fit!
He was not looking forward to this job. If he couldâve picked, heâd have worked just about anywhere else. He didnât even really like ice cream! But the mall opening meant a bunch of local businesses closed or were cutting back on employees, and everyone else got to all the good mall jobs before him it seemed.
He just hoped his new coworker would be nice. At the interview, the manager told him heâd primarily be paired up with âRobinâ for his shifts. Apparently, Scoops Ahoy liked to schedule them in set teams, and she was on his.
Maybe sheâd be cute? Maybe he could get a new girlfriend out of this job.

Robin was holding his hand while they sat in Eddieâs living room. âAre you really sure about this?â she asked worriedly. âWhat if they get infected? What if-â
He cut her off before she could start spiraling, âYou act like you donât have your own piercings.â
âYeah, dingus. My ears! Not my nipples!â she said, aghast.
Steve just shrugged at her. âItâll be fine. Eddie knows what heâs doing,â he reassured.
âNo, he doesnât, Steve!â Robin shouted.
From the bathroom, he heard Eddie call, âYou know I can hear you guys, right?â
âIâm not talking to you!â Robin yelled back at him, angrily.
âRobin, Iâm the one who decided I wanted my nipples pierced. Eddie didnât talk me into it,â Steve said, trying to convince her.
She just huffed and turned away from him.
With how hard his eyes rolled at her dramatics, he wasnât surprised they didnât fall out of his head. Man did he have one dramatic platonic soulmate. Why did it matter to her what he did with his own nipples?
âComing, Steve?â Eddie called.
âBe right there,â he said, getting up and heading to the bathroom.
And here they are together! (mostly because I reworked Eddieâs face and wanted to post the updated version)

Rated T | @sept-stobin-extravaganza | 2,183 Words (it's a long'un) | A lot of this story is inspired by this post and some of it's comments/reblogs/etc
The kids hadnât noticed how close Steve and Robin were at first after Starcourt. Sure, the two were glued together constantly, but Dustin was fairly certain they were dating, and couples spent a lot of time together, right?
And he thought he was being proven correct in his assumptions about their relationship status when he headed over to Steveâs one Saturday in October. He didnât bother knocking on the front door, just headed straight inside. âSteve?â he called out.
He didnât hear a response, but he had seen the BMW in the driveway, so he took a look around. The ground floor was empty, and he didnât see Steve in the backyard, so he headed upstairs. Once he reached the landing, he heard water running from the direction of Steveâs bedroom and ensuite. Honestly, maybe Dustin should have knocked or waited for Steve to come out, but he and his friends didnât have a lot of boundaries, and also, Steve was like his big brother, so he didnât think before opening the bathroom door a little (he didnât look! He knew better than that!) and calling in.
âSteve! I need a ride! Hurry up your shower!â Dustin said.
The voice he heard back was⊠decidedly not Steve. âWhat the hell, mini-dingus?â Robinâs voice replied. He heard the curtain rustle, so he peeked his head around the door and met her eyes.
Her hair was all soapy, and she had the most disgruntled look on her face.
âIâm sorry!â he yelped.

Sept Stobin Extravaganza Alt-Prompt: "Steve. Wear the Shorts."
Rated T | Decent amount of swearing | @sept-stobin-extravaganza | 471 Words
Steve stood in his bathroom, checking himself out in the full-length mirror and inspecting the costume Robin picked out for him. He could see almost his entire leg because of where the hem on the shorts landed. When he turned, he could even see a little cheek.
He tried pulling on the bottom of the shorts to cover himself up a little more, but then his ass started to fall out of the top. Sure, he was a bit of a slut, but he also didnât want to show off this much.
âRobin!â he yelled. She was the one who told him to put these on, and she would have to be the one to answer to him.
Theyâd been debating for the last two months what to dress up as for Halloween (obviously they had to have matching costumes; that wasnât even up for debate), and Robin finally got tired of his hem-ing and haw-ing and just told him that sheâd show up the night-of with their outfits.
And now she was trying to get him to wear⊠He wasnât even sure what the outfit was. All he had so far were these skimpy white shorts with black spots on them.
He grabbed the larger bag sheâd handed him, hoping there would be more outfit in there.
There wasnât. When he looked inside, there was a headband with a pair of black dog ears and a tail that matched his shorts. Was he supposed to be a dalmatian?
He yelled for Robin again. Finally, he heard footsteps approaching from down the hall.
âYeah?â Robin called, outside the bathroom door.
Steve yanked the door open and glared at her. He was about to chew her out, when⊠âWhat are you wearingâ?â
She had on a full-sized jumpsuit with vinyl decorations that was designed to look like a firefighterâs uniform.
âMy costume?â she asked him, looking blankly at him like he was the stupid one.
âWhy am I going out in practically my underwear, when you get to wear all that?â he asked her, exasperatedly, gesturing to her costume.
âYouâre not in your underwear; youâve got a full costume,â she told him, being purposely obtuse, Robin, God damn it.
Steve went to take the shorts off and said, âIâm not wearing this. Weâre finding me a different costume.â
âSteve,â she said firmly, âwear the shorts.â
He gaped at her. âNo!â
He watched her eyes calculate for a moment, before her face twisted up into an upset expression. âYou donât want to match me?â He swore he could see tears forming in her eyes.
âGod, Robin! Youâre such a bitch!â he fumed and jammed the ear headband onto his head.
She was instantly all smiles again. He knew sheâd been faking! âYou love me!â she said. âNow let me draw your puppy-nose on.â
September Stobin Extravaganza Day 10 - Double Date
Steve, Nancy, Vickie, and Robin on a Halloween double date, for @sept-stobin-extravaganza.â€ïžđŠđ
So glad I finally got an inspiration to draw them in the sailor outfits (LOVE THEM) AND create the double date scenario that @zoe-cloe suggested here.đ„°
Nancy's costume is her dress from s5, which has been theorised to be a "candy striper" uniform, as well as a reference to Steve's celebrity crush Phoebe Cates in Fast Times.
Vicki's costume is that of the character Maiden Curly Crown, from the Lady Lovely Locks franchise (I think it came out in 1987, but this would take place post-s5 any way). I searched for red-haired 80s characters and picked this because I loved the franchise as a child.đđđ

Steve and Robin had been âdatingâ for close to seven months now. Robin was almost about to graduate, and her parents were making noises about what the two were going to do after.
Before everything that happened at the mall, sheâd been set on moving out of Hawkins to a bigger city and going to school to be a professional translator, but now? Steve was here, so here sheâd stay. She figured she could always go in a few years once the kids were grown.
Her parents were kind of hippies, so they just wanted her to be happy, but they also wanted to see her taken care of.
âI hope heâs planning on proposing to you soon,â her mom told her one night at dinner.

âRobs!â Steve called to Robin from the couch. âHow long are you going to leave your date alone out here?â
He heard he yell back from the kitchen, âJust give me a minute! Geez! I was thirsty.â
Steve looked over to where Robinâs date was sitting on the far side of the couch and then glanced at his date. âSheâs feeling like a third-wheel out here, Robbie!â
Robinâs head popped around the archway into the kitchen, looking at all of them. She shook her head. âYouâre such a dingus.â
Steve snuggled further into his girlfriend pillow and reached over to shake Robinâs. âLook at her! Sheâs dying from lack of attention.â
âOh my God!â Robin complained, heading back into the kitchen. âI never should have bought these things!â
