Even though an entire room full of people is between them, they had to have felt each other staring, only because i felt it too.
Staring so hard and for so long that it was no longer simply looking, they were peering into each other's souls, trying to caress them with their gaze.
I bet they felt every little look as if it was a burning touch, eyelashes fluttering on their neck, nose tracing down their chest, teeth grazing their belly and breath hot and rattled on their thighs.
Hungry so much so that it physically hurts to have all that distance between them, both panting and disheveled while having moved absolutely naught.
Both frozen in a daze and, ironically, burning inside.
When they do finally move to greet each other, it is obvious to anyone looking, though on one is looking.
Soft voices, casual touches and eye contact just longer than platonic, all are elements for the disasterous mess boiling to a breaking point inside the two of them. Yet, none of them move an inch towards one another, terrified of what might come next.
Fear, is it? Or their feelings is what paralyzed them in place? Doesn't matter, because either way, when they part ways their hearts break that much more, only to go home reeking of regret and each other's perfume
And truely what is lust but longing, yearning for the closeness for the intimacy and warmth only loving a person in their entirety brings, at least that's how i see it.
Sure, loving is much more pure than lusting, but when attraction becomes less about appearance and more about soul, love and lust become so intertwined that they're basically one.
You're seduced by their heart and core being, so much so, that you wish to lift them up in your arms, hold them so tight that your souls merge into one and, subsequently, devote your heart, mind and body into making theirs feel the best it has ever felt, making it soare higher and higher until you both feel like you will die if you don't cross the line of no return, if you don't dote over every litte twitch of each other's bodies, if you don't spend hours worshiping and spoiling their body, only because you can't physically hold their soul.
So yeah, love may be more pure than lust, but having been forebode of touching the life essence of my life essence, i'd rather perish impure lusting for them if only it got me a hair closer to loving them whole.

Worcester looks pretty much in the middle.”
“What the hell is in Worcester?” Robin had asked.
An art museum, it turns out. And a couple of parks. A couple of theaters. And restaurants and coffee shops and historic sites and a thousand other things that simply didn’t exist in Hawkins. Robin listed them off as she looked them up, curious now that Nancy had mentioned it, and Nancy nodded along with a spark in her eyes, playful and content, because really, the most important thing in Worcester would be each other.

Nancy’s not sure why she cares so damn much about finally understanding this girl —or about seeing her happy— but she’s accepted the goal all the same. And Nancy was nothing if not goal-oriented.

But Hawkins, for all its eldritch horrors, has a way of making her feel like she’s the one that people would call a monster. And after all this time… well, words begin to stick.

In My Head With You
Summary : The events of last summer gave Robin Buckley horrific reoccurring nightmares. A month ago those nightmares began to linger when she woke up, haunting her throughout the day. The horrors became unbearable, constantly terrorizing her with no escape... except in her dreams, which suddenly became her only reprieve.
In dreams, Robin was free from the pain and suffering of Hawkins and Nancy was always by her side. But that freedom was locked behind sleep... until Nancy offered a plan to escape for real, and Robin had no reason to refuse.
That week, two teens from Hawkins High had their deaths ruled as suicides. But Nancy Wheeler knew they were murdered. Vecna's curse psychologically tortured them... made them paranoid and reclusive... until one day they were unnaturally, blissfully, happy. Hours later they were dead.
Steve Harrington was worried about Robin. She seemed... off. Quiet and way more anxious than usual. Then she stopped hanging out with him. Stopped accepting rides to work and school. When people started dying, he knew she was going to be Vecna's next target. He'd do anything to make sure that wouldn't happen.
They both would.

With Steve as her emotional support and a heart full of things she can’t say, Robin learns how to love quietly. Showing up for movie nights, making mixtapes, and pretending that watching Nancy with Jonathan Byers doesn’t hurt as much as it does.
She tells herself that friendship is enough. Some days, she almost believes it.

What she doesn’t expect is Robin Buckley.
Nancy starts noticing the way Robin always listens, always remembers, always shows up. She starts questioning why Robin’s smile makes her chest feel warm, or why the thought of losing her feels heavier than it should. And somewhere between late-night conversations and shared silences, Nancy begins to realize that not all feelings arrive neatly labeled.

Fade into you
By : thebumblebee7
Description : Robin decided to destroy Vecna. It wasn't personal, just a way to support his friends. Nancy, on the other hand, couldn't have done otherwise. And even after evil has been defeated, the trauma remains, especially on those quiet days when she can't distract herself with anything but the sound of her conscience reminding her of her guilt.

…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.
What I feel in my chest when I think of her is a longing that cannot be reversed, a scream that cannot be quietened, a thirst that cannot be quenched, a sickness that cannot be cured.
I feel it when I'm away from her, even more when I'm with her.
I hate it, I love it. I never want it to stop.
I want to quit her, but I need to die of an overdose of her.
I would give any and everything to taste her and then have her taste herself on my fingers, on my tongue, on my strap.
Have her moaning at her own arousal.
Feel the vibrations of her voice shake me to my bones, so I finally have enough and tie her hands and feet together so she's just on full display for mommy.
Hearing her beg for something, anything that resembles relief, so I give her what she wants until she can't take it anymore, until she's begging for the relief to stop.
And when it's all over, I would give everything to care for her, to love her, to be there for her.
Afraid that if you think about me too hard you'll start thinking about me too
Hard ?
Afraid that if you look at me a bit too close you'll start seeing me above you,
In you ?
Afraid that me living my truth forces you to look at the lie you've convinced yourself? And THAT shines a light at it that doesn't make it very believable, doesn't make YOU look all that good.
