Post season three, Eddie sees Robin Buckley looking a bit banged up, occasionally hollow-eyed, and even more separate from her peers because of the weird energy she's been giving off, and decides to adopt her as one of his sheep.
Robin is having none of this. None.
She likes Eddie just fine, but she is not interested in playing DnD or hanging out with a bunch of smelly boys in a dank room. It's one of the things she likes best about Steve, how fastidious he is. She never has to worry if he's washed his hands after using the bathroom. She once watched Eddief eat funions out of a bag he found on the bleachers.
But Steve is lonely and sad when she's at school. The two of them are still looking for a job that will hire them both, so Steve spends most of the afternoons alone. Eddie skips most of his classes anyway. As far as she's concerned, it's a match made in heaven.
Robin tells Eddie to meet her at the diner after school to make her a character. He's honestly pretty stoked, Robin is cool and he was starting to think she would never join.
He gets there, but she doesn't show. No, instead Eddie looks up to see an overdressed Steve Harrington shimmy into the booth across from him.
