Stop it, don't tease me about it! I'm still learning! And if it WAS a code for something, I wanted to know so I could be prepared for it and make it totally worth your while. I'm over here, thinking about ways I can make you feel good, and you're teasing me! The audacity of it all.
don't quote me but i'm almost positive rug-day ealers-day make more money than really super cool rental video workers
( 💅 tmw you're not even considered being the buyer of said cakes. it would fall on steve harrington's shoulders, naturally, the appointed "mom" of the group. )
6ish depending on that late night crowd and how long it takes them to debate between xanadu and raiders of the lost ark, Again since you're picky i'll let you choose the movie for the night but be warned me and steve will judge you relentlessly regardless
imagine you're me WILDLY homosexual so you know it's gonna be a mess regardless of who it lands on who does it land on eddie munson who else but jason carver
safely said i ran out of there at light speed and i think i'm going to move to like. appalachia or something like directly into the mountains
( there definitely was an opening for chrissy to insult her, which she didn't take, which maybe means she doesn't want to insult her? which maybe means she might like her, a bit? further overthinking to occur. )
o yeah ok that's totally fair just think about how comfy little drunk me is gonna be with my sad little gross pillow
No, saying you're gonna pull something and walk like a grandma half hunched over if you give me a spinny hug is rubbing it in. Maybe I'll give you the spinny Disney princess hug, Buckley, what the hell are you gonna do then?
( get hugged, mostly, LOSER! )
Okay, you say that like there's more than just you. Dustin does not count.
ok lemme come educate you young skywalker rocky horror is STEEPLE in the gay community my guy like a rite of passage you can keep your ally card if you watch it with me otherwise ur homophobic
so to answer your question someone would rent it three times a month because they are a homosexual there is no other reason they're at least trying to figure out why tim curry in drag is making them feel the tinglies ok why who are we stalking
what? why have you not told me this before? i should know this. robin. why didn't you prepare me to know this? NOW I FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE FUCKING ASSHOLE.
um. okay. i'll watch it. [ he's not sure how he feels about tim curry in drag, honestly, but he can't really picture it either so like who is he to say no to watching it in solidarity? ]
HAHAHAH i don't know i mean sometimes like straight women just like musicals or whatever oh yeah its a musical by the way but i guess eddie is also definitely not a straight woman but i mean straight guys could like it too its just like super gay like liberace eating a banana gay like elton john gargling lube gay NOT THAT i'm not saying that about eddie obviously i mean he's pretty eclectic and he likes weird stuff meatloaf is in the movie too idk maybe
maybe it's just a music thing trying to learn the bars to hot patootie or something
um you could totally ask him about it though he would know better than me obviously
( it does feel weird to ... know something and not tell steve about it, though. it feels too borderline to lying to keep robin's armpits from sweating profusely, but she's also not going to do eddie dirty like that. at least — she thinks she isn't. because. if steve also liked boys, that would be.
super cool, actually. but. she's not the goddess of determining peoples sexualities or what have you, and the world actually does not revolve around her, so. butting out of it, yes. attempting to. but if steve pushes, she knows she'll crumble like a house of cards. this is why no one should ever tell her anything. )
ROBIN. I TEASED HIM ABOUT IT. I CALLED EDDIE MUNSON OUT FOR RENTING IT THREE TIMES. [ also outing himself for snooping in his rental history which, like, how fucking creepy is he being right now????? ]
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS AND I TEASED HIM AND EDDIE MUNSON RAN AWAY FROM ME. I AM THE WORLDS BIGGEST ASSHOLE.
and fucking gross. ugh. gargling lube would be so gross it's too thick for that shit. and wasteful. [ that's what he's stuck on right now. he's spiraling, don't call him out. ]
what is hot patootie? that does not sound like eddie's metal style.
okay. okay... knowing he ran away. how badly would asking go? ROBIN HELP ME.
and also — poor eds, though robin is too well versed in steve lore & communications to misinterpret this as anything Actually Cruel on his part. she just knows how below the belt any slight against your sexuality hits, even when you know better. )
hot patootie will be introduced all in good time ok
look steve it's not that bad im being 100% serious okay it's really not that bad
look before i talk about that lets you and me lets play a little game ok we know what eddie's rentals look like tell me what the hair's rentals look like
how is it not that bad? i definitely feel like i've fucked something up here. especially given your first 'who rents it three times a month' answer!!
what? [ this is a suspicious turn of events. but okay, fine, he's game. there is nothing incriminating in steve's rental history. ]
okay, sure. mine does not include rocky horror picture show.
just uh.. recently? fast times, ferris beuller's day off, st. elmo's fire, breakfast club? [ there's a very certain cast in here, steven. also, the number of times ferris beuller has been rented definitely exceeds three. ]
( to be fair, chrissy isn't much for insulting anyone, but the thought of insulting robin seems especially cruel. they haven't spoken a lot per se, but just based on what she's seen, robin seems sweet. awkward, but sweet. )
You didn't happen to buy a bathroom blanket too, did you? Sleeping on linoleum could get chilly.
ok maybe its a little fuck up but on the scale of fuck ups its really not that bad totally undoable ok i promise
uh huh so
( it's not as uniquely easy as discussing with eddie — who is a breath of fresh air, because he actually knows who he's hankering after, while steve is just. he has nancy blinders on, or something. he forgets other people exist. he's probably never even considered he could like boys, though it's not something robin can really blame him for.
still, there's some obvious connective tissue between all these movies. robin feels like she's solving a mystery, a bit, trying to learn something about steve that maybe he doesn't even know about himself. )
ferris matthew broderick breakfast club judd nelson don't you think those two are kinda i mean they're a little bit like eddie right
all i'm saying is remember when i rented sixteen candles every week for like three months just so i could stare at molly ringwald it's giving Vibes harrington
it is a douchebag fuck up. like asshole glory days fuck up! [ except like he wouldn't have cared this much in his king steve era so this is a level of personal growth. someone be proud of him. ]
ok just wanna say not sure how obvious it was to you in the moment so i'll just hit the rewind button and replay the part where you said eddie is hot not your straightest hour harrington
i have a best friend code emergency that i'm like exploding to tell you but i don't want to be a total jerk but oh my god steve if you think you might like dudes like even just a little bit not even a full on gay crisis just like the 2% milk of gay crisises i like have to have to tell you that not only is eddie into guys he's also specifically drank the harrington juice which is to say i think he's definitely into you and by think i mean he's explicitly told me and i didn't tell you because i didn't want to be a jerk and out him before he wanted to tell you but omg STEVE A HOT GUY LIKES YOU HOT GUYS THINK YOU'RE HOT
[ cue a slightly blurry ( she's PANICKING ) sorta-selfie of nancy's jaw/neck/shoulder, with her fingers hooked in the collar of her sweater, revealing!! ONE (1)! MODERATELY NOTICEABLE!! HICKEY!!! kind of on her neck, but low, like, in that dip above her collarbone, where it literally cannot be seen unless she actively drags the collar of her shirt to the side, like she is now. ]
I would make a joke about how that should be the code phrase I use from now on when I want you to come over so we can make out for a while, but this is so not the time for jokes!!
You teased me SO much for making so much noise meanwhile you were mauling me! unbeliiiiieeeevable.
i know i should be totally apologetic like yes wow super sorry
but also kinda like seeing you marked up nance it's like majorly hot so were all the sounds oh my godddddd actually you should be thanking me i think if that's the worst of it like i have some incredible willpower not to just mark up your whole neck with how you were singing for me
Oh my god. Do you have to call it singing? You are SO weird, Robin Buckley.
It's just Okay, so. I like when you leave marks, too. I actually really, really like it. You always grind on me while you do it, it's just majorly hot. yeah. like you said.
Just not somewhere so visible! Only because if my mom notices, it's bye-bye parental approved sleepovers for us. And I happen to really like our sleepovers. 🥺
so its more of like a below the belt kinda thing nancy wheeler only wants hickeys on her thighs i see well!!!! can do i don't see that being a problem not at all
