Summary: I've been thinking about these two a lot and wanted to do some headcanons for them. Their codependence is unmatched and I love it!
꩜ Platonic soulmates Steve and Robin, who left the battle at the star court and went to their respective homes wondering if they'd still feel tethered to one another once the dust had settled. Steve walked back to Loch Nora, keyless after the Russians had taken them off of him, and concussed. Robin, riding her bike, still loopy from the truth serum and completely oblivious to the fact that Steve had no way home.
꩜ Platonic soulmates Steve and Robin, who slept deeply that night, exhausted after everything that had happened and unaware that they wouldn't able sleep that deep and restful again for months, maybe even years. Steve was used to it, more or less. He'd had run ins with the Upside down three times by that point and been beaten to shit just as many times. This time, the nightmares were worse.
꩜ Platonic soulmates Steve and Robin, who make it two days before one of them sneaks into the other's bedroom so they can watch each other's backs while they sleep. This becomes a nightly ordeal and quickly gets to the point where they don't even bother trying to sleep alone. After Steve drops Robin off, he parks down the block and either climbs in through her bedroom window, or waits for her to climb out with an overnight bag and a locked bedroom door.
꩜ Platonic soulmates Steve and Robin, who spend every waking moment together until Robin has to go back to school in the fall. When one of them showers, the other is sitting on the bathroom counter with their eyes closed. One of them has to pee? The door stays cracked so they can keep talking.
꩜ Platonic soulmates Steve and Robin, who get separation anxiety when she goes back for her senior year and they're forced to spend 8 hours apart for the first time since Starcourt and the Russians. Robin calls Family Video or Steve's house in between classes to check in from a payphone and Steve waits anxiously for the phone to ring.
꩜ Platonic soulmates Steve and Robin, who eventually manage to survive the distance without a phone call, but starve off panic attacks when they think about it too hard.
꩜ Platonic soulmates Steve and Robin, who lean on one another until they can achieve anything even remotely close to normalcy. They build a routine and branch out, just a little bit. Just enough that Steve is trying to pull chicks again and Robin is crushing on someone at school once their every waking thought wasn't of truth serum or Russian torture.
꩜ Platonic soulmates Steve and Robin, who tell each other everything. Nothing is off limits, although some things drum up sounds of disgust and scrunched up noses. Neither of them has ever had a friend that they were this close to. Someone that you could share every thought with, no matter how strange of deeply personal.
꩜ Platonic soulmates Steve and Robin, who are the worst at being each other's wingmen despite their insistence that they know what they're doing. Not that it matters, over the years, they'll struggle to find, and keep partners that are okay with the two of them being so close. It takes a whole lotta love to be okay with your boyfriend or girlfriends best friend of the opposite sex crawling into bed with you every other night.
꩜ Platonic soulmates Steve and Robin, who would totally have a lavender marriage to appease their parents and have an excuse to live together until they're old and grey, even if that means that they'll never marry for romantic love. They could have their own rooms and their own partners but still want to keep that tie binding them. Still want to be close enough to reach out for when they wake up screaming.
꩜ Platonic soulmates Steve and Robin, who would do literally anything for one another, no matter what.
