[She smiles a little at his sarcasm and she glances at him sideways as he pulls the car around.]
My house isn't too much farther. [She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear and lays her head back against the headrest once more.] Not far from Forest Hills.
[Steve shifts in order to pay for their food. You also have to give him a second Robin because he gets a bit caught up flirting with the pretty girl in the window.
He then pulls his car around so that he can handle over Robin her food and drink. ]
[She rolls her eyes, but is otherwise unfazed by the flirting. She takes the food, tucking some cash into the center console of his car as nonchalantly as possible.]
Pretty close to it, yeah. [She takes a sip of the coke.]
[Jesus Christ. He must sound like a total controlling dick but he's genuinely concerned about her well being. Especially with terrifying monsters and guys like fucking Billy Hargrove.]
[She blinks a couple of times at that, bristling momentarily, but choosing to let that reaction go because she's not oblivious to the fact that some really creepy shit has happened in this town.]
Is this coming from...all the shit that happened a couple years ago with Jonathan Byers' little brother? Or is this more because of the Billy thing?
[She opens her mouth to respond, then takes a bite of taco instead, taking her time coming up with a reply because it's not like she's unconcerned. She's aware of the dangers. Had even felt it when Billy touched her. There had been...darkness there. Real darkness. Disturbing. A chill ran through her at the memory and she glanced at him sideways.]
You'd really wanna drive me home every night we work til close? [Which frankly is most nights.] That's a lot.
Steve can't make her allow him to drive her home every single time they work together. He also doesn't want to make her feel uncomfortable or freaked out. ]
[Steve doesn't freak her out. He doesn't even make her uncomfortable. There's a weird sort of comradery between them that she doesn't really understand, but maybe it's just because they share a shitty job and they're the only ones they have to talk to most of those days. Except when his random children show up. She's still trying to figure that one out.]
[This whole week has been so weird. Today has been especially weird. She sorta feels like she's in the Twilight Zone as she gives him specific directions to her house.]
Okay, this is me. Thanks for the ride. [She hesitates, glances at him sideways.]
Yikes. Sorry. Okay. [Maybe she'll do something nice for him tomorrow, like stop and get him a coffee from The Roast at the other end of the mall before her shift starts.]
[She gets out of the car and heads toward the house, fishing out her house keys and giving him a little wave over her shoulder before she slips the keys in the door and heads inside. She's just looking forward to getting off her feet for the next 18 hours or so.]

[He mutters as he unwraps one of his own tacos and adds some much needed sauce. ]
You walk home a lot?
no subject
[Since he's apparently fine with eating in his car, she unwraps one of her tacos and does the same.]
no subject
I can give you rides home if you need them ?
no subject
Maybe just until the pain goes away? [Her voice is soft now. She thinks there's a good chance she'll be mostly recovered in a day or two, but.]

It's not a problem.
no subject
Okay. If you're sure.
no subject
But in all seriousness. He wants Robin to be safe and to get home safely. ]
I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't.
no subject
Okay. [It's probably weird that Steve is more concerned about this than her parents have been since she started working.]
no subject
Shit, even then. ]
Its settled then.

Yeah. I'm pulling a double tomorrow.

[He could use the money since his dad is being a total asshole but that goes without saying. ]
It'll be fine.
no subject
[Robin reaches for the door handle, grabbing the remainder of her food and her drink to take with her on her way out.]
See you in the afternoon. I'm on at noon. [She's really not sure why an ice cream place needs to be open in the morning anyway, but whatever.]
no subject
Steve gives a little nod. He'll probably go home and be up most the night. That's usually how it goes these days. ]
See ya at noon.
