[It's because the asshole cheated! Steve didn't fear Hargrove for a second and he would gladly go another goddamn round. Especially if he threatened the kids again.

Fucker.

He watches as Robin gets up and heads over. ]

[He swaggers up to the counter, shirt halfway unbuttoned like always, and smirks at Robin, then looks back at Steve momentarily.]

Buckley. I'll take a sundae with some hot fudge.

[Steve can already feel his whole body going tense. Eyes narrowed upon the absolute bastard that is now in Scoops.

Goddamn this night. ]

[Ew. She really, really doesn't get it.]

Sure thing. [Her tone is completely emotionless and she moves, scooping some vanilla ice cream into a cup, adding hot fudge to it and sticking a spoon into the sundae.] Here ya go. A dollar fifty.

[He winks at her, reaching out and putting his hand on her arm.]

Maybe a little more fudge, darlin'.

[This. Fucker.

Yeah. No.

Steve can pick up on Robin’s vibe and its screaming that she's completely disgusted. ]

She doesn't want you touching her.

[Steve definitely isn't wrong and she jerks away like she's been burned the minute Billy puts his hand on her bare skin, a wave of nausea rolling over her and she moves back a couple steps, grabbing the sundae and moving to put more hot fudge on it. Anything to get this guy out of there. Her nerves are officially screaming and she tries to keep an eye on Steve to make sure he doesn't get too close, either.]

Here. Just take it and go.

On the house. Huh. [He looks at Steve and flashes a grin at him.] Nice job you've got, Harrington. Hope you're staying cool.

[He makes sure to put himself between Robin and Billy. Robin looks extremely uncomfortable and a bit upset with this whole situation.]

You heard her. Get out.

[His gaze slides between them and he smirks, raising his eyebrows.]

Sure. I'll get out. See you again soon, though. [He winks at them and heads away, way too satisfied of a smirk on his face.]

Dick.

[Steve hisses as Billy makes his exit. Seriously? What a fucking asshole. ]

Seriously. How the fuck is that guy so popular?

[She mumbles, moving to sit back down because now her head hurts, too. She exhales.]

Damn good question.

[Because Billy sure as hell wasn't special but apparently Hawkins High loves an asshole. ]

....You alright?

Yeah, just wasn't expecting --

[For Billy to touch her. She's not exactly sure how to explain that to Steve, though, all things considered.]

-- any kind of creepy confrontation tonight.

He's a major dick.

[Obviously, Steve isn't afraid to voice his opinions on Billy Hargrove. Seriously, fuck that dude. ]

You chill. I'll clean up.

[She doesn't disagree, at all. She'd been wary about Hargrove since he'd started at Hawkins High, and she wasn't sad that he graduated last semester.]

Hey. [She pauses, twisting on the seat to look at her.] Thanks.

Yeah.

[He mutters lowly as he begins the nightly cleanup. Thank God this shift is over. This job is truly humiliating. ]

[She lets herself sit for a few minutes, trying to decompress. The last two days have just been -- a lot. Between healing her mom and the physical pain that had accompanied that, to feeling her mom's emotions when she did it, to feeling Billy's aggression the malice he felt toward Steve was somehow worse. Stomach-turning.

She forces herself to get up, because sitting there isn't really helping, and the sooner they clean the place up, the sooner she can go home and hopefully pass out for 12 hours. She grabs a rag and starts wiping down the counters, chewing her lower lip.]

[Steve wants to get the hell out of this prison. The goddamn place is embarrassing and such a blow to his reputation. Shit, he fucking hates his father.

Hates. Him.

After a moment, he glances over at Robin. ]

Sure you're okay?

[She glances at him, offers him the tiniest of smiles.]

Yeah. Just looking forward to getting the hell out of here. [She presses her lips together.] Are you?

Yeah.

[Besides the whole being here and Billy Hargrove bullshit. ]

[She nods at that, going back to wiping things down and then finally, finally, it's time to go. Robin takes off her stupid hat and puts in her locker, strapping her purse across her body and shuffling out of the break room, flipping the lights off and prepping for the long walk home. She stretches her ankle out a little, reminds herself she's not actually injured, it just hurts because that's how the whole healing thing works. She'll be fine.]

See you tomorrow?

[Steve has already tossed his Scoops hat into his locker because gross. He's fetched his keys and is ready to say fuck this place for the night.

He dreads tomorrow.]

Unfortunately.

[He watches as she stretches her injured ankle.]

You park close?

I don't have a car.

[She shrugs. Their family only has one, and her dad has it today, working late. Also she doesn't have her license, but he doesn't need to know that. She was hoofing it tonight. Walking hurt less than biking right now, so...walking it is.]

[The hell?

Steve comes to a sudden stop. Why in the hell does she not have a vehicle? He can't help but raise an eyebrow, keys in hand. ]

Busses don't run this late.
