Lilith: Hey, Stevie? Can you give me a little help?
Stevie: Yeah, what's up?
Lilith: I don't know what this chord notation means. I understand all the majors, and minors, but--
Stevie: Lemme see.
Stevie: Oh, that's a diminished chord. So, just take the 5th down a half step.
Lilith: The what?
Stevie: Your pinky. Move it from a white key to the next lowest black key.
Lilith: Did your hand...need to be on the back of my head while you were showing me that?
Stevie: No, I guess not. But there was a bug.
Lilith: Uh huh. What kind of bug?
Stevie: Uh-- stink bug. REAL big one.
Lilith: I think there's something else you want to say.
Stevie: What, do you think you're reading my mind or something?
Lilith: Well, was there really a bug?
Stevie: This is really silly.
Lilith: Tell me.
Stevie: I, uh-- I don't know if I can--
Lilith: I like you too.

No because imagine Robin Buckley knocking on mr.Hauser’s door nearing graduation day, and telling him that she finally has her list for operation croissant. Like her just all happy and smiley and he’s so happy for her and just yeah. I need more of this duo.
Ok i wrote this a while ago and it’s rlly bad because idk how to write but there’s a little one shot under the keep reading :)
“Robin Buckley, long time no see.”
“Mr. Hauser, hi. Yeah uh its been a while”.
“Well come in, come in.”
She walks in and doesn’t say much, just looking around and taking in the room she spent so many lunch periods in. “So how are the language tapes going?”
“Oh um good, good. I started learning Russian. I mean with everything going on i had to put it down for a while but I’ve been wanting to pick it up again.”
“That makes sense yea. So that’s French of course , Italian, ..spanish?”
“Spanish and pig Latin.”
“Right yes. Did i ever tell you how incredible that is”
She answers with an awkward chuckle
“Right so what brings you back?”
“what i cant just catch up with my favorite teacher before i graduate?”
“Robin..”
She cant help but break out in a grin. “I have my list! My three people i mean- for operation croissant!”
And he has to admit he’s a little dumbfounded that she hasn’t stopped thinking about operation croissant. He thought that her slowly stopping her frequent visits meant things were getting better, but she does seem excited about her list. There was a time where he thought she might not find friends her age, friends that would stick around that is. It can’t hurt to encourage this more than he has- albeit indirectly- in the past “thats great! But I’m pretty sure the semester finished a little while ago” he jokes.
“Better late than never right” and god she just cant stop smiling
“Right” he chuckles. “So? Who are the lucky three, don’t keep me in suspense here”
“Okay okay this might seem a bit odd but- *sigh* idk last summer and spring break changed a lot- argh! Ok! Anyways! Steve Harrington- which, i know believe me i know, but he’s a really great guy i promise. He’s changed a lot since his high school days. And um Nancy Wheeler 🤭 -who is just full of surprises btw- , and Eddie Munson.!” Robin gave no more details on Munson, slightly scared of how mr.Hauser would react, but she trusts him, he wouldn’t judge either of them.
“How did that come to be”
“Well you see, it all started last summer when steve and i were working together at starcourt before yk.. everything. And we sort of just bonded? Ig? It- its hard to explain. But with him its like the hawkings monster-” ironic, she thinks, “- isnt that scary anymore. Like i can fully be myself around him and he wont judge. Oh! But its not- its not like how it sounds. We aren’t dating, god no. I love him but not like that. He’s a real dingus you know.”
“please Robin you know i know better than to assume the state of your love life”
“right. well uh yeah and then Nancy and Eddie sort of got closer over spring break. And i know its sort of an odd group but they’re really great. and they accept me, all of me. I wouldnt trade them for the world.”
“im really happy for you robin. seriusly.”
“Me too. …um mr.hauser, do you remember what you told me, about the paper with the black dot, referencing-“
“the lottery. yeah, yea i remember..” silently asking why
“well. i dont know if you know- well you probably had an idea i guess but- i also pulled out the paper with the black dot. and im not scared of being stoned anymore. at least not by them.”
“well i cant say i didnt have any idea.. but as i said. i know better than to assume.”
“right, right. well what about you, and your hawkins monster.. and front row center?”
“oh, im good, that so happens to be going very well. sort of a safe heaven from my hawkings monster if you will”
“good. thats great im really happy for yo-”
sprinting footsteps pass down the hall, just passing the english teacher’s door, then reteating to peek their head inside “Rob? you coming?”
“yeah, just a sec nance” turning to her and smiling.
Nancy nods and turns to leave after a polite “bye mister hauser”
He lifts a hand to wave even though shes out of sight already “bye ms.wheeler” and turns back to robin
“Well i should get going, Steve is probably outside waiting.. he’s my ride.”
“Yeah no of course” He leaned back on his desk, watching as she smiled and opened the door. She’s at the door frame when he stops her “Robin.” She turns around with a lifted eyebrrow “im proud of you”
“Thanks. A-and I promise ill come by more, yk before i leave”
“Ill see you around kiddo.”
“Yeah :)” [exits].
