Robin laughs and Steve finally feels himself unclench. He relaxes back in his seat and watches her giggle into her hands like an idiot, and he thinks about how he doesn't want to kiss her or try to get her in bed or anything. He never thought about that, not while he missed her or thought back on her time together.

He really just wants to make her laugh, and to see her happy. She pats his shoulder and Steve smiles at her, even as his brows furrow slightly in thought. It's probably pretty pathetic, but he's never actually had real friends who actually gave a shit about him. He wasted so much time on fucking Tommy H, that asshole, who probably wouldn't have even pissed on him if he were on fire.

So maybe he was confused, because if he was a guy who had fond feelings for a cute girl, he obviously wanted to bang her, right? God, he's such a fucking idiot. But at least he's getting better. Being in Darrow helps, because this is such a different world. Things are better here, not just for straight white assholes like him but for everyone. He thinks about Robin and how she likes girls, and he can't help but to be excited for the world she's about to experience. He wants her to be happy, wants to make her laugh, and yeah. That must be friendship.

"Friends, then," Steve says as he holds his hand out to her for a shake. "Dingus."
