They’re watching a movie picked by Nancy, and Robin can barely keep her attention to it. No, that’s a big fat understatement; she doesn’t even know which movie it is that they’re watching. It’s like all her senses have narrowed down to nothing but Nancy: to the movements she’s making in her peripheral vision; to the sound of her laughter whenever (apparently) something funny happens on the screen; to the scent of mint and artificial flowers not quite concealing the unique smell that Robin can only describe as Nancy; and, most important of all, to the place where Nancy’s knee is casually bumping against Robin’s from her cross-legged position.
And then, suddenly, there’s a hand on her knee. Robin swallows and tries not to be too obvious when she looks down to the pale, spidery fingers resting against her jeans. The soft pressure through the fabric of her clothes is somehow making it worse than if it had just been skin-to-skin contact: a taste of what it could’ve been and yet a reminder of what it’s not.
She looks up into Nancy's eyes, dark blue and wide, almost as if they're asking her a question. Then, she lets her gaze wander over the rest of Nancy's face, searching for something, even though she doesn't exactly know what...
And then Nancy's eyes again, still piercing into hers, fearless; always fearless. She realizes that all she was searching for is right in those eyes: she senses more than that she consciously deduces that she has her chance to kiss Nancy Wheeler, tonight, on this couch. She swallows thickly, still feels Nancy's fingers resting on her jeans.
It turns out that Nancy is the bravest of them, and honestly, that shouldn't surprise Robin as much as it does. But she can't help but utter a soft gasp when Nancy starts leaning into her space, as if it's all completely unexpected.
Nancy stills, her lips mere inches from Robin's.
'Is this okay?' she whispers, her breath ghosting against Robin's lips and looking up at her through her lashes with that innocent wide-eyed gaze.
And Robin can only nod, still frozen, letting Nancy come even closer towards her.
All it takes for her body to catch up to what's happening, is the feeling of Nancy's lips against her own. She immediately reaches out, puts one hand in Nancy's soft curls and the other around her waist, her touches gentle and soft because even though Robin knows she isn't, Nancy feels so breakable in her arms.
Nancy’s lips are soft and just as gentle as Robin's touches, but her fingers soon start clawing into Robin's thigh, and that's all Robin needs to deepen the kiss, to press their mouths together with more urgency, drinking in the taste of strawberry and mint and coca cola and Nancy.
She could keep drinking from Nancy's lips forever – she probably doesn't even need air anymore, as long as she can keep kissing this girl, and when she slightly repositions herself she feels Nancy's fingers digging even deeper into her leg while a tiny sound escapes from her mouth that starts driving Robin crazy in a whole different way.
When they finally pull apart, it feels like hours have passed, and similarly like it were only a few seconds. It feels like Robin is reborn. And it is exactly that realization that makes her come crashing back down to earth.
'Fuck,' she mumbles.
'Fuck,' Nancy echoes, breathless.
'Nance,' Robin says. 'This can't happen again.'
And that beautiful, excited smile immediately falls from Nancy's face, her eyes wide with something entirely different now. 'Wha – why?' she stammers. 'I thought – why?'
'This was – shit, Nance, this was fucking mindblowing – and this was only a kiss! If we do this again, or if we go any further – seriously, you'll ruin me, I am not kidding. I can't do that, I can't be your experiment knowing I’ll eventually lose you to some guy and – I just can't. You're too important for me to let that happen.'
'Wait, wait, wait,' Nancy says quickly. She's frowning now, but her hand grabs Robin's, and Robin is too weak to do anything about that, so she lets her. She lets her intertwine her cold fingers with Robin's; she lets her grip her hand firmly in her own.
'You're not my experiment,' Nancy says, her voice slightly unsteady. 'You're – you're fucking amazing, Robin, I would never... I've known for years that I'm not straight. I mean, yes, I've had boyfriends, but I don't need to figure anything out, alright? I know exactly what I'm feeling for you. This is not an experiment, I promise.' She takes a deep breath and Robin almost giggles at how the tables have turned; how Nancy has become the one rambling at her all of a sudden.
She squeezes Nancy's hand; the giggle makes its way out of her throat anyway. She can't help it, she's simply feeling too giddy, too overwhelmed, too... overjoyed.This is real, is all her brain can think, on a loop. This is real. This is happening. This is real.
'So...' she says, her heart beating loudly in anticipation. 'Do you wanna go out with me?'
Nancy starts giggling, now, too. She comes closer again, this time to rest her forehead against Robin’s.
'Well, yes, obviously – but I also really, really wanna kiss you again.'
'I mean, we can probably do that first,' Robin answers with a wide grin on her face.

car tips and tricks you may not know! 😇 a list made for completely innocent and fair reasons!!!
mayonnaise can strip paint right off!
insurance will cover 1, 2, and 4 tires but not 3!
if you need to slash your tires for whatever reason, go for the side and not into the tread itself!
following the previous, still be careful because it IS pressurized air and can try to fight back (slash don't stab!)
if you somehow spill an entire gallon of milk in the car on a hot summer day and it sits, the smell never goes away! (no matter how much you try to clean it, it lingers)
if you somehow end up leaving your jolly ranchers on your windshield and they melt to it well enough, you can't remove them without cracking the windshield itself!
same goes for all the windows
putting sugar in the gas tank isn't a guaranteed way to ruin an engine, buuuut it does end up costing a pretty penny to fix! (it CAN ruin the engine, but again not guaranteed) that also being said, it's more likely to destroy an engine if it somehow magically ends up in your oil!
as tempting as it may be to yassify your vehicle, don't put glitter in your air vents!! it never fully goes away, ESPECIALLY if you have cloth seats
once a coin gets into your seatbelt clip thing, that shit is not coming out and you will never be able to buckle again unless you completely take it apart. (quarters work best- I mean, are the worst)
when the windshield is frozen definitely dont pour boiling hot water onto it. it'll crack and break! (science, people!)
if temperatures get below freezing, definitely don't use water in substitute for antifreeze. it cracks the radiator and warps the cylinder head, causing damage to the engine block
in the summer time, you still shouldn't use only water bc water boils quicker than coolant, so it can evaporated quicker, causing your engine to overheat
hope this helps you in all your car needs! feel free to add anything if I missed something 🥰
