[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?

[bigboyvibes]

[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?

[yesdingus]

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.]

[bigboyvibes]

[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.

[yesdingus]

[She's a little surprised he actually knows that. She wonders if he's ever taken a bus in his entire life.]

Nope. I'm walking. [She arches her eyebrows as she starts toward the employee exit in the back.]

[bigboyvibes]

[He knows things!

He shoots her a look as they both head towards the employee exit. ]

Uh. No.

[yesdingus]

What do you mean no? [She gives him a weird look.]

[bigboyvibes]

You're seriously going to walk home on a shit ankle in the dark?

[yesdingus]

Well it beats spending the night at Scoops. [Her voice is wry.] I bike in the dark all the time.

[bigboyvibes]

[Robin NO! That's absolutely ridiculous and very unsafe! ]

You'll never make it on that ankle....

[yesdingus]

You underestimate how badly I want to go home, Harrington.

[bigboyvibes]

I can give you a ride, ya know?

[yesdingus]

[He is absolutely full of surprises today. It's kind of freaking her out a little. It's making it harder for her to keep him in the little box she'd put him in Mrs. Click's class sophomore year.

She pauses at that, and looks at him.]

I haven't exactly been nice to you since we started working together. Why would you want to?

[It's probably the most genuine she's been around him in the last couple months.]

[bigboyvibes]

[Steve is well aware of his own reputation. He's been known as a huge asshole and he's learned to accept that. Robin hasn't been the nicest to him. Shit, she's been a huge pain in his ass but-

He knows what lurks in the dark of Hawkins.]

I mean if you're so eager to walk.

[yesdingus]

[Right. Offer recanted. She shouldn't be surprised. She shakes her head a little and starts out the door, clutching onto her purse strap and then grabbing her house keys out of her pocket to keep between her fingers because she's more concerned about the mundane dangers that lurk in the dark than the possibility of monsters.]

[bigboyvibes]

[Steve can't help but give a frustrated sigh. Why are girls like this? Seriously? He rolls his in an annoyed manner before he follows after Robin. ]

Seriously. Get in my car.

[yesdingus]

[Because men won't talk and that is frustrating! Men are frustrating, Steve!]

I live on the complete opposite side of town from you. [Like, almost to the trailer park. She reluctantly does follow him to his car, though, not entirely sure how she feels about the situation.]

[bigboyvibes]

And?

[She's acting like Steve Harrington has a curfew or somewhere he actually needs to be for the night.

Nope.

He does what he wants!]

[yesdingus]

Just telling you.

[She assumes he does have somewhere to be. He's Steve Harrington. But maybe she's trying to mentally prepare him for the fact that she lives in a pretty small, slightly run down house with hippies who have tacky gnomes and flamingos in the yard. She sighs softly, rubbing a hand over her face tiredly.]

[bigboyvibes]

Its fine.

[He moves to unlock the doors before he motions for her to get in. A nice drive might actually do him some good too. Its a rather nice night, warm. ]

Hungry?

[yesdingus]

Starving.

[She admits before she has time to consider her answer at all. She really is tired. She climbs into the passenger seat and exhales, leaning her head back against the headrest and turning her head to watch him climb into the car. Well. She sure never thought she'd be accepting a ride from Steve Harrington.]

You too?

[bigboyvibes]

[Steve's pretty exhausted himself. It's been a shitty couple of days and he's just over this Scoops bullshit. He's also really hungry and he would rather not cook this late. ]

Also starving. Preference?

[yesdingus]

[She mentally goes over the selection of drive thrus that are between here and her house.]

Taco Bell?

[bigboyvibes]

Taco Bell it is.

[He's literally hungry enough to get anything. ]

[yesdingus]

[She's quiet for most of the ride to Taco Bell, comfortable enough in the silence to even let her eyes close and willing her ankle pain to go away.]

Thanks. For the ride. [She's saying it now so she doesn't forget. She's an asshole but she's not that much of an asshole.]
