    Summary

    “Hey, Harrington?” Robin called, smirking. Steve wanted to sigh, or maybe run away, but he straightened his back and gave her the flattest look he could manage. “Remember that favor you owe me?”

    “I don’t owe you a favor,” he replied immediately, although he had a sinking feeling that he did. It sounded familiar.

    “I recall you agreeing to the bet a while back that you didn’t think the kids considered you a part of their group,” she reminded him. The smirk hadn’t left her face. “And after the whole… moving in with the Byers thing, it’s definitely been proven that you’re a part of their group. I dare you to say that you’re not in front of them.”

     

    (AKA 3 times Steve was coerced into being Robin's "boyfriend", + 1 time he did it without being prompted.)
