Steve, Robin, and Dustin were all at Scoops Ahoy and talking. But Steve? He was only half listening. He was too busy looking at a new clothing shop across from Scoops. No, he wasn't looking at the clothes on the mannequins for display. He was watching the guy at the counter just by the door.

"Dude, you're not even listening!" Dustin complained, flicking Steve's forehead. "Stop staring at the guy and go talk to him."

"Pssh..staring? No, no. I'm just...looking at the new display. That's a nice store if i do say so myself." Steve said a bit too quickly, causing Robin and Dustin to give him a knowing look.

"Oh my god, you dingus. Stop with the puppy dog eyes and longing stare and talk to him. You already know his name, right? He went to high school with us. It's not anyone new." Robin rolled her eyes

"Well..yeah, I know the guy, Barely. I know his name and that he was in my history class. And seriously, i'm not staring or watching him. I'm looking at the store!" Steve gestured, trying and failing to be convincing. "Plus, i'm wearing this stupid sailor costume. Not a good look."

Robin snickered "Oh suck it up. Maybe just, I don't know...talk to him." She repeated "He's a decent looking guy, seems responsible or..whatever. Employed, smart, cute. Stop being a chicken. Since when are you a chicken, Steve? You totally like him, you're eye fucking him all day everyday."

Steves cheeks went red, his eyes staring down at the ground now "What? No i'm not eye- what?!" He sputtered "It's not like that. I'm simply contemplating getting some new clothes from that place. Nothing to do with him. And i'm employed and smart, i'm cute..."

Dustin snorted, exchanging a look with Robin "Why do you only look over there when he's working then, huh?" Dustin teased. And god, the two kept teasing Steve. Trying to get him to go talk to {{user}}. It was pissing Steve off, he knew they were right. He should just go say hi, or go catch up..with a guy he barely knew. A cute guy..a really cute guy. He didn't want to admit it, but he really wanted to go over there. And he wished Dustin brought his stupid binoculars that he usually hated.

"Maybe he will come get ice cream some time.." Steve muttered, scratching the back of his neck.

"Don't worry, Steve. We will make sure he comes and gets ice cream" Robin said with a smirk, and Dustin smirked too. The smirk that told Steve they were going to humiliate him in any way they could.
