love will tear us apart- robin buckley

mels pov:
we were all hunched over underneath skull rock, hiding from the flying bats, i was panting heavily as we just got there

"thought you only made those sounds for me?" robin whispered to me, i didnt understand what she meant anymore but i then realized, she was talking about me panting, i felt butterflies form in my stomach, i stopped panting instantly

"hey i didnt want you to stop" robin said making my mouth slide open, "if you behave well enough ill make better noises" i whispered back to her

"did you guys forget we are also here?" eddie said, "—or that we are in another dimention hiding from vecnas creatures?" steve added, me and robin both ignored their comments

the bats had stopped, robin pulling me up with her, "o- okay that was close" she said nervous, "too close" eddie said, everyone stood up, steve struggle to get up but when he did, he fell against the rock

"steve" nancy yelled running to him, as i also ran to him, "im fine, im fine" he lied, "no, no your not you're losing a lot if blood" i replied, nancy then told him to sit as she wrapped his flesh wounds, while she was doing so, i walked back over to robin, standing in between robin and eddie, robin ranted about rabies but steve had told her that he was annoyed so she stopped

"ohh man he really doesnt look good" eddie said whispering to us- "ill- i mean he looks ill- he looks good- he always looks good" eddie ranted, mumbling the last part, i turned to robin smirking

i turned back over to steve, he was getting wrapped, his head going back from the pain, i looked over to eddie quickly to see his reaction, he was dead staring, he looked like he was in a trance but it wasnt vecna, it was him just mesmerized, but quickly snapped out of it when he realized both me and robin were staring at him staring at steve

eddie starting climbing on— a small hill? a big boulder? it was hard to tell in the upside down, as it was gooey and wrapped with vines- but he was climbing it, as the clouds thundered

"so uh.. this place is like hawkins but with monsters and nasty shit?" eddie asked, "pretty much" nancy answered, eddie was about to step on the vines but nancy stopped him, "wait watch out for the vines, its all i hive mind" nancy said to him, "its all a what?" eddie asked clueless, "all the creppy crawlies around here dude, they're like one.. or something, you step on a vine, you're stepping on a bat, you're stepping on vecna" steve exclaimed to his boyfri- to eddie

"shit" eddie mumbled to himself carefully stepping down, dodging all the vines, "but everything from our world- is still here, right? exept people obviously?" robin asked, "as far as i understand it, yeah" nance replied

"so theoretically, we could go to the police station and steal guns and grenades and whatever we need to blow up those bat things that are guarding the gate" robin asked, "grenades?" i mumbled, "yeah- i high doubt the hawkins PD has grenades robin but- guns sure" steve answered

"wait- i have guns, at my house can't we just go there?" i asked turning to everyone, "thats gonna take us awhile- your house is forever away" robin said scraching her neck, i grabbed robins hand comforting her, interlocking our fingers "well we dont have to go all the way to mels house for guns, i have guns, in my bedroom" nancy said

"you.." eddie started as he jumped down from what he was climbing on, "nancy wheeler, have guns, plural, in your bedroom? i mean mel, sure yeah thats expected, but.. you?" eddie asked suprised, "wa- wait? why is that expected? am i missing something here?" i asked turning around specifically asking robin so we were now face to face instead of side to side,

robin just looked at me, "your melody henderson, c'mon of course you have guns" i just dropped my mouth a little bit, suprised that i was just now years old finding out that everyone that knew me (minus my mom of course) apparently thought that i owened guns, which they werent wrong, but still
