A redhead leaned across the desk towards Steve, smiling at him with a jaw full of gleaming teeth
Batting her eyes at him flirtatiously
Twirling a strand of hair between her fingers
Her gaze flitted to his name tag briefly
"Hey... Steve right?" she questioned
Steve blinked, frozen like a deer in headlights as a very attractive girl leaned across the desk giving him bedroom eyes
was he dreaming?
"Uh..." he trailed off
The girl giggled in amusement, pointing at Steve's name tag "Forget your name already?" she teased
Steve blushed, his cheeks darkening as his brain finally clicked
Ok this was happening
Fuck
This girl was blatantly flirting with him
Oh crap he needed to act cool
He could not mess this up or Robin would roast him for this
"Yeah... Yeah my name is Steve" he babbled, rubbing the back of his neck
From the corner of his eye he saw Robin in the storage room, her eyes bright with surprise
Giving him a silent thumbs up of encouragement
She leaned closer across the desk "Are you single?" she pressed
Steve licked his lips, painfully so
He couldn't remember the last time he even got a date
It felt like life was throwing him a bone
But before he could respond, opening his mouth like a gold fish
His brain turning to mush as he felt himself internally panicking
The front door opened, his train of thought being altered
He caught a flash of familiar blonde hair
The bounce of blonde curls
Billy strolled into the building, his hair bound into a messy bun, adorning a black Tee and tight jeans
That usual sway in his hips and attitude in his walk
Oh fuck
No, No, no
Why did his chances have to blow up in his face?
Billy was a flaming homosexual
He was purely attracted to men
He wasn't the slightest bit interested in women
But Billy could charm the pants of anyone and he had a history of hooking up with girls for fun
Steve would have no chance if this girl caught sight of him
The girl blinked, noticing Steve's panic and deviated her gaze
She spotted Billy standing nearby, her gaze briefly flickering over him before turning back to Steve
"Friend of yours?" she asked
Steve swallowed "Roommate" he babbled
The girl shrugged, surprisingly unbothered by Billy's presence which was something Steve as not used to whatsoever
She hummed, turning her attention towards Steve
"So... to my question, Yes or No?" she asked
Steve briefly allowed his attention to turn towards Billy
Billy had his back turned, pretending to pay attention to the many films they had on sale
Pretending to browse their selection of films
But Steve wasn't stupid, he knew for a fact Billy had ears like a hunting dog and was listening to every word
Whenever he looked over his shoulder or moved
He could feel Billy's eyes on him like knives, piercing him like a raged animal
waiting for Steve's answer
making it all the more awkward
But then what did Steve have to lose?
He hadn't been on a date since Nancy and when would he get another chance like this?
"Uh yeah... yeah I'm single" he stammered
The redhead perked up, her eyes shining with excitement "Cool, wanna grab dinner sometime?" she suggested
Steve blushed, this had to be the most forward girl he had ever met in his life
But he was kind of into that, letting his mind wander
"I... sure..." he stammered with a bashful smile
The girl scribbled her name and number down on some paper before thrusting it at Steve with a wink
Before hurrying out of the shop before Steve could protest
He stared into space, his face still in shock as the reality slowly hit him
"What just..." Steve babbled
Before he could speak Robin rushed at him, pulling him into a hug
"Way to go Casanova, you got your first number" Robin cheered
By a cute redhead at that
Billy rolled his eyes, a look of impatience on his face "Steve got a date?" he scoffed
