au where steve/eddie/robin are hanging out at eddie’s and out of the blue robin asks the room “how long is your ideal hug?”
and with zero hesitation steve replies “at least 45 minutes. probably a good hour or two if i could swing it”
eddie and robin blink.
robin: …i don’t think that’s very realistic, dingus
steve, still reading his magazine and not at all paying attention to the way robin and eddie are Looking at him: *scoffs bitchily* you said ideal, rob, not realistic
and this is where steve will swear that robin and eddie have developed their own psychic link because the next thing he knows, eddie is yanking steve down so he’s laying on top of eddie on the couch and robin is laying down on top of him and: “guys what the fUck”
robin and eddie, in unison: steve sandwich
steve, softly but with feeling: what the fuck
eddie: let us give you your ideal hug, okay sweetheart?
steve, dying inside but also fucking Living: …okay c:
