Steve flips the keys in his hands, the sound like ice clinking against glass. “Well. Kind of hung up on someone, so, you know, doesn’t seem fair to be looking.”

Steve flips the keys in his hands, the sound like ice clinking against glass. “Well. Kind of hung up on someone, so, you know, doesn’t seem fair to be looking.”
“I’m...” and she doesn’t know how to finish that sentence because she also doesn’t know if she’s annoyed or guilty or sad that he said it. Her lungs hurt and it has nothing to do with the cold.
“No, don’t do that. I didn’t say it to hurt you or pressure you or whatever. Just being honest.”
“She must be pretty special,” Robin jokes, quiet, and Steve does that scoff laugh thing he does when things are equally funny and tragic, which sadly, she feels they encounter a lot in their friendship. It would be so much easier if she could just...like him. “You know if I was into guys I would, probably, against my better judgement, be into a guy like you.”
Steve melodramatically throws his right hand over his heart, closing his eyes with a hint of a smile around his mouth. “You’re killing me, Buckley.”

Great scene-setting and characterization and friendship dynamic. Just a little bittersweet. And all in under 1500 words!
