Pairing: Robin Buckley x Fem! Reader and Platonic! Steve Harrington
Steve’s eyes light up as you walk in, scanning you up and down. He adjusts his sailor cap and pastes on his trademark King Steve smirk.
“Hey, have you seen-“ you begin but he cuts you off with his well practiced speech. You cross your arms, raising a brow. Robin had warned you about her coworker but you were curious to finally see him in action.
“Ahoy beautiful, would you like to set sail on this ocean of flavour with me? I’ll be your captain, I’m Steve Harrington,” he says, smoothly. He even finishes it off with a wink.
“Look Steve, I’m sure you’re a nice guy-“ When he interrupts you again, you narrow your eyes in slight annoyance. If he had been anyone else, you probably would have gave him a piece of your mind, but Robin had assured you he was harmless.
“The USS Butterscotch will definitely rock your world,” Steve pauses, “what do you say? Want to give it a go? If you don’t like it I’ll owe you a date.” He looks a bit nervous under his suave facade and you feel a bit bad.
“Um,” you begin, holding back laughter as you try to find the best way to break the news to him.
Robin appears from the storage room, an incredulous look on her face. “What the fuck, dingus?” She looks from you to Steve, and then back to you. You shrug helplessly.
Steve turns and raises his eyebrows in confusion.
She rolls her eyes and lets you behind the counter, ignoring Steve’s protests. You saddle up beside her and discreetly link your pinky with hers. She gives you a small grin and your eyes light up with something that could only be described as pure love. “Hey sailor,” you murmur, smiling back at her.
Steve’s eyes flicker down to your joined hands and his brows furrow even more. It takes him a few moments but recognition dawns on his face. “Shit,” he says, “Robin, I didn’t mean to flirt with your girlfriend.” He looks so apologetic that you almost snort, Robin was right about him being a bit clueless but with a good heart, not that she’d ever admit that to his face. He turns to you, “it’s nice to meet you, I’m Robin’s friend slash coworker.” He holds out a hand for you to shake before wincing and dropping it at his side.
Robin smacks his shoulder, “stop being a weirdo.” Steve looks as if he wishes the earth would spontaneously swallow him whole.
“It’s fine, I needed a laugh,” you giggle and Robin smirks, holding back her own laughter.
“Would it have worked if you weren’t, you know,” he asks sheepishly, gesturing at your joined hands.
“A big ‘ol lesbian?” You supply, raising a brow and he nods cautiously. “Probably not, sorry dude. Way too pushy, try to turn it down on the charm.”
Robin nods, “makes you seem like a douche.”
Steve glares at her, “and you couldn’t have told me that earlier?”
“It was fun seeing you embarrass yourself.”
Steve takes off his sailor cap and throws it on the ground, “I quit,” he declares dramatically.
“Would you like to do the honours, babe?” Robin asked, gesturing to the white board. There’s a wicked glint in her eyes and you wish you could kiss her.
Instead, you just grin and take the dry erase marker from her hand, adding a tally to the already crowded “you suck” side.
Steve groans and slumps onto the checkered linoleum tile. It’s nice and cool, and he decides that it wouldn’t be so bad to stay there forever and contemplate what his life has come to.
