Summary
Robin loudly slurps her strawberry milkshake, red straw puckered between her lips. A little leftover sits in the dip of her bottom lip.
Nancy drops her gaze to the table.
"So," she starts quietly, swallowing down her doubt—the uncontrollable skip in her chest each time their knees brush. "Are you gonna let me try strawberry, or...?"
Robin looks up at her, eyes wide—expectant. The straw falls out of her mouth.
"Or—" Nancy stumbles a little. "Let me suffer with vanilla forever."
Robin blinks. "Uh—yeah, of course. Try away. I can get you a spare straw if—"
But Nancy is already sliding the glass across the table, cool against her fingertips, and taking Robin's wet straw into her mouth.

The Upside Down is gone, but Nancy still can't sleep... unless one Robin Buckley is next to her.
She doesn't know why.

Summary
“You know” she barely whispers.
“Of course I know”
“Yes, no shit Sherlock, but how?!”
Nancy looks at her, digs through her. She can't believe that Robin, the same Robin who could see the subtlest truths, couldn't get there.
“Because, even if you’ve clearly forgotten, I am your friend, Robin. And I care for you. I wouldn’t miss the reason why one of my friends acts like she has an entirely different…kind of entertainment.”
“I wouldn’t call it that…” Robin says, after few seconds of embarassed silence.
“Whatever. Don’t you try to tell me you would have told me” she looks deeply hurt.
“Guess what, I really wanted to, Nance. I actually did, but…”
“You should all just stop hiding important things from me. I clearly don’t talk much about my feelings, but I’m sure you all know I’d take a bullet for you but you…you just don’t give a damn!”

Summary
Nancy grits her teeth. They’re wasting time. The blood on the kitchen floor's gonna start drying again. Nancy needs to keep going and Robin needs to stop looking at her like that. Like she doesn’t know what to do. Like she did at the hospital—like Nancy’s some ghost to stare at, some phantom.
“You want to help?” Nancy says, unwilling to become a spectre. “Go home.”
----------
In the aftermath of El's sacrifice, Holly can't sleep without Nancy, and Nancy can't sleep at all. Robin keeps coming over, keeps being there. It doesn't help. Until it does.
