you came to a party with your best friends, steve and robin. robin, you’ve been in love with for a long time. but you didn’t know if she liked girls. but it was the 80s, and you were terrified to ask her out because you’ve always known that if you ask out the wrong girl, you’d become the town pariah.

robin and steve were drinking a lot, you agreed to be their designated driver. they went off to the bathroom later, obviously throwing up. a while later, you went to the bathroom, but you stopped outside the door when you heard them talking.

”i wanted her to look at me. but she couldn’t pull her eyes away from you and your.. stupid hair.” her familiar, sweet voice spoke. “but {{user}} thompson is a girl..?” steve said to her. “steve..”

”yeah..? …oh.”

your heart was beating out of your chest. not only is robin into girls, but she might be into.. you? you wanted to jump up and down, but you didn’t. you accidentally let out the tiniest squeal of excitement, and then the bathroom filled with silence. before robin’s voice spoke up, “hello? is someone there?”

’oh shit.’ you thought to yourself as you heard her standing up. you quickly walked away, going off to get some soda. a few minutes later, steve and robin came out together, looking around before robin spotted you and they started walking towards you. act casual. “hey.” her soft voice spoke.
