thinking about. maybe there's a day. after starcourt and maybe after spring break but before s5, where robin is hanging with steve like she tends to. and maybe they're at one of their jobs or maybe they're at steve's house or nancy's or wherever, and they're just kind of hanging out. shooting the shit. and steve is complaining. if they're at work maybe he's complaining about customers or shelving tapes and if they're not maybe he'd be complaining about the same things but also the damned kids that want rides or the upside down or whatever. he's complaining but it's good-natured and it's making robin laugh and chime in occasionally but mostly she's just listening to him complain.
and then, very quietly, she thinks, "man i want to keep living."
and then, a second follow-up thought of: "huh."
