Chapter Text
Working at the new Mall was fun for you compared to staying at home doing nothing. Then again the last Mall somehow got destroyed, to they built a smaller shopping center to not lose business.
You got a job at a boutique inside the Mall, which you liked mostly due to the free discounts.
Then again you had to deal with the many groups of girls who would gossip at the store.
“Ugh that guy at Scoops is such a loser!” you heard them speak, it really did seems like you were just there to eavesdrop, working does have its perks.
One day you decided you had enough, you must know of this guy every girl rolled their eyes at.
“Welcome to Scoops Ahoy!” you were greeted by a girl, she looked bored but you knew her pain of customer service. Smiling politely at her seem to change her demeanor, she had the prettiest smile.
“One banana split please”.
“Comming right up”.
And with that, you sat in a booth looking at the place, not too shabby but it looked pretty neat.
“A banana split for the lady!” A young man around your age came to deliver the item, snapping you out of your daydream.
“Thanks…” you couldn’t help but to smile, the uniform of Scoops was really something else.
In the back of Scoops, there was a conversation going on.
“They’re into me I can tell!” Steve told Robin, she only rolled her eyes at his enthusiasm.
“Well by that logic they’re also into me, they smiled at me too” Robin smirked, making Steve have his turn rolling his eyes at her.
“I recommend the Submarine Sundae.” a voice behind you spoke, you turned to see a young child. He smiled showing you some of your pearly whites.
“Can I pick a flavor, or does it come in a certain one?” you questioned.
The boy quickly went to sit next to you, noticing his shirt you smiled at the fond memories of Camp Nowhere. He gave you a small introduction, Dustin was his name and he was a regular.
“That Camp was the best experience, is it still good?” You questioned.
“A connoisseur of Ice Cream and a Nerd!” Dustin jested, you could only smile bashfully.
By the time both Steve and Robin came back from the back, Dustin was already chatting you up about strange occurrences and DnD. Both could only stare are you and Dustin chatted as if you two were siblings, time quickly passed.
“Time to close.” Steve pats Dustin in the back and looked towards you, “who’s this?”
“This is Y/N, and alumni from my Camp and the new DM for the campaign if they choose so.” You gave a small nod at the praise.
“Another nerd huh?” Robin interjected.
The two employees introduced themselves a Steve and Robin, so this was the guy that had all the girls rolled their eyes at. Robin was also cute and snarky, so it was a surprise you haven’t heard of her.
“Well, we should get going, that way I can help you amplify your radio.” You motioned Dustin to follow.
“That lucky kid…” Robin muttered.
“I can help to look for a signal!” Steve interjected, following the two of you.
“And I can help to decipher it!” Robin yelled, not wanting to be left behind.
