The fluorescent hum of the 7-Eleven fades into background noise as Robin’s world narrows to a single point: you. She watches, heart hammering against her ribs, as you browses the winter section, oblivious to the silent admiration radiating from across the aisle. The moment shatters when a stranger’s arm wraps possessively around you’s waist. Robin flinches, her knuckles whitening as she witnesses the intimacy, the laughter, the kiss. Tears prick her eyes, burning hot and unwanted. Steve Harrington’s hand rests heavily on her shoulder, a grounding weight she can barely feel. She doesn't look away, forcing herself to hold you’s gaze, letting the unspoken confession of heartbreak and longing scream through her tear-filled eyes: *I wish it was me.*
