‘Maybe-’ He smiles, and his eyes are glossy, and she feels sick, ‘Maybe that wasn’t fate, or destiny, not like this. That was just me choosing you, and you choosing me. But this? No one else can do what I can.’

“Close.” Mom leans back again, gently placing a bouquet of pink flowers down. “Steve.”

“Steve,” she echoes.

“Steve.” Mom’s voice softens. “His name was Steve.”

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

He rolls his eyes. “You can laugh.”

“No, no, it’s an easy mistake to make,” Robin says loyally, even as her voice pitches higher.

“I can see you—”

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

Arms wrap around her. She feels hair tickling her face, and knows it’s Steve, even with her eyes shut. Even though they’ve never hugged before, and never will again.

He speaks quietly into her ear, though it sounds distant, “I’ll see you around, yeah?”

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

He hunched with his arms open, ready to grab her around the thighs and lift her.

“Have you ever done a cheerleadering move?”

“No? Have you?”

“…No?”

“Great, then we’re evenly matched. That’s important in sport.”

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

“Uh, you’re the one who said we’d do this, dude.”

“No, I said I’d do it!”

“As you go, so goes the nation.”

Steve blinked. “Are you the nation in this scenario?”

“That I am.”

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

Steve walks to a light switch on the wall and FLICKS IT OFF AND ON REPEATEDLY. Nothing.

ROBIN: That isn’t going to work, dingus.

STEVE: (sarcastically) Oh really?

He continues with the flicking of the switch, but more rapidly.

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

She’s always reluctant to hear it, but Steve’s best friend is the greatest person ever.

“Sequels are never as good as the originals. Don’t start giving them ideas, though.”

“No, that’s my escape plan. Make fun of their chairs until they’re so embarrassed they go off to build us a secret bunker and we have time to escape.”

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

ROBIN: Listen to me, Steve. It's shocked me to my core, but I like you. I really like you. But I'm not like your other friends. And I'm not like Nancy Wheeler.

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

Steve shudders again and lets out another sad little noise. Robin feels her entire chest clench in response, like an echo.

Then Robin asks, “Would it be totally off-the-wall weird if I hugged you right now?”

“Absolutely batshit bizarre,” Steve replies immediately. “Completely ridiculous, stupid, worse-than-interdimensional-monsters, wild, come here.”

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

STEVE: Alright, uh, we can take them, it’s not that many—

An EAR-PIERCING shriek echoes out, as if in response to Steve. A MASSIVE SWARM OF DEMOBATS, headed their way across the scorched sky. Must be at least a hundred of the fuckers.

ROBIN: ... You were saying?

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

“Uh, you’re the one who said we’d do this, dude.”

“No, I said I’d do it!”

“As you go, so goes the nation.”

Steve blinked. “Are you the nation in this scenario?”

“That I am.”

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

STEVE: Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Okay -- Uh, goin’ in. And you know what? (takes off sailor hat, throws it) Screw company policy.

ROBIN: (dead-pan) Oh, my God, you’re a whole new man.

STEVE: Right?

[stobin quote bot @stobinbot]

Robin is real. Steve knows it, because he loves her fiercely enough to make it happen.
