I have a request if that's okay! Maybe something where Steve is sick with a really bad cold and Robin has been tasked with taking care of him, but when he gets worse she ends up freaking out and calling Eddie for help?
for the sake of this fic pretend that steve & robin are roommates <3 also this one got a little bit angsty, i hope that’s okay! (1.7k words)
cw: mentions of concussions/head injuries
Steve’s been asleep on the couch all morning.
Robin sits cross-legged at his feet, hunched over a book in order to distract herself from his incessant snoring. The sound should be a lot more irritating than it is, but to be honest, it’s a nice reminder that he’s alive. From his pale skin, one would only assume he’s on the brink of death.
If she’s right in thinking he’s caught the same head cold she had last week, he probably feels like he’s dying, too.
Suddenly, he lets out a small, pained groan. Robin lets her book fall onto the coffee table, diligent and doting as she turns her full attention to him. He acted similarly when she was sick; she figures it’s the least she can do now.
More silence. She furrows her brows, placing a hand against his leg. “Steve?”
He groans again, much louder this time, before letting out a weak, scratchy cough. It takes him a moment to work up the energy to speak. “Mby head. *snrff!*”
She can barely understand him due to how hoarse and stuffy he sounds.
“Your head?” she asks. “Does it hurt?”
He nods, fighting to open his eyes. Robin knows from experience how sore they must be. She rushes to grab the bottle of Tylenol off the table, quickly moving to stand over him.
“I think it’s time for more of these,” she says, squeezing his shoulder comfortingly. “Uh, you’ll probably have to sit up. Sorry.”
Steve sighs in defeat, then manages to pull himself up, slowly swinging his legs over the edge of the couch. He accepts the medicine with shaky hands, pouring out a couple tablets before reaching for his glass of water and downing the pills with a strong wince.
“Fuck,” he mutters. “Is this h-how you felt? Hhehh - Hhh’ESCHHHhew! *sdrf!* Heh’TSCHHHIEW!”
Robin frowns sympathetically as he pinches the bridge of his nose, trying to massage away some of the inflammation that’s causing his head to hurt so badly. He lets himself fall back into the couch cushions, a sickly haze filling his eyes as he stares straight ahead.
“Pretty much,” Robin says quietly. “I’m sorry.”
She sits down next to him. He squeezes her knee gently.
“Dot your fault.” He blinks a few times, the rims of his nostrils already flaring again. “Hihh… HP’SCHHHHEW! *snrfg!*” He winces from the force of the sneeze, cupping his hands over his face. “Hh’TCHHHHh! Hh’TSCHHHhh! God - *snfgg* - excuse mbe.”
“Gesundheit. And can you accept my apology for once? I think you look worse than I did.”
Steve smirks. “I beg to differ.”
“Wow. Walked right into that one, huh?” She rises from the couch, gingerly patting the top of his head to smooth down some of his unruly hair. “I’m gonna go make you some soup. You better hope I don’t poison it.”
“Please, put mbe out of mby miiihhhsery - Hheh-! Hh’ESCHHHHh! *snrff!* HeH’TSCHHHHOO!”
Robin assumes he’s joking, but as the day wears on, it’s impossible not to suspect that Steve’s feeling much worse than he’s letting on. He’s only able to eat about half of his food before succumbing to another round of restless sleep, eyes tightly pinched as he fights a losing battle against his throbbing head. She can see it in every aching sneeze, in every congested cough - whatever this is, another round of Tylenol isn’t going to fix it.
“Are you sure there’s nothing else I can get you?” she asks him after he’s woken up for the second time. He’s letting her keep a towel-wrapped ice pack pressed against his pounding forehead, his own arms too tired to prop it up himself.
Steve sighs shakily. He brings a bundle of tissues to his face, harshly wiping his nose. “Doe - *snnfg!* - just deed to let it pass.”
They’re roughly the same height, but with Robin’s arm draped around him and his head resting against her shoulder, she can’t help but think about how frail Steve looks right now. It’s hugely contradictive to the way he’s always putting himself in harm’s way for her.
“It happeds a lot mbore frequently ndowadays. *snffg!* Whed I’mb sick.”
“What? Your headaches?”
“Uh-huh,” he mumbles. His voice is almost childlike. “I dod’t kndow if you’ve ndoticed, but people love to smack mbe around.”
Her heart sinks a little. “Yeah... I guess that makes sense.”
“Are you sayig I have a punchable face, Buckley?”
Robin giggles, mainly out of delight that he’s still feeling well enough to crack a joke. “Yeah, that’s obviously what I meant.”
Steve smiles back at her just before letting out a series of sudden and ragged coughs, grimacing at the new level of pain it brings to the center of his face. She rubs the space between his shoulder blades while he waits for the fit to pass, lowering the ice from his face so he can properly swipe away the tears that have collected along his lashes.
“Oh, shit,” he whispers.
“What?”
He brings the tissues back up to his face just before he jerks forward. “Hh’ISSSCHHH!-nnggh.” He sniffles wetly, his face screwing up in pain. “Heh’TSCHHHH’uhh… Hh’ESSCHHHHh! Guhh… Ow. *snxxgg!*”
She pats him on the back again, feeling utterly helpless. “Bless you. I’m… sorry. That it hurts so bad. I can’t imagine.”
His red nostrils are still flaring; he folds the tissues over and massages his dripping nose with them, only allowing himself to speak once the burning sensation in his sinuses has dwindled. 
“Thangk you,” he croaks. “It’s okay, Rob. Really. You dever beat mbe up.”
“Don’t hold your breath,” she says, earning another smile out of him.
Robin likes to think she knows Steve pretty well - has all but memorized his face, no matter how bruised or bloodied it may get. But this look is different. This look - shoulders hunched, eyes glazed over with sickly tears, pale forehead throbbing against her hand as he fruitlessly wipes his tender nose - is something new. She doesn’t know if she can handle it on her own.
She squeezes his hand before offering him the ice pack, rising to her feet. “I’m gonna go get you some more water, okay?” 
Steve nods, tiredly lifting the ice to his face. “Okay. Thangks agaid. For, you kndow…” He waves his hand around in a vague gesture. “... everythig. *snrfg!*”
“Anytime, Harrington.”
Luckily, he falls asleep again by the time she works up the courage to make a much-needed phone call.
“I think it’s all the previous concussions that are making everything worse. Or at least that’s what Steve said.”
“Yeah, I suppose getting the shit knocked out of you a couple times will do that to you.”
“It was more than a couple of times, actually, but I... Oh, shit. He never told you about Jonathan Byers, did he?”
She and Eddie are speaking in hushed tones, tip-toeing around pieces of furniture to get to the hallway as noiselessly as possible. Eddie quietly shrugs off his jacket and toes off his sneakers, discarding them both by the couch.
“He didn’t have to. That story made its way around Hawkins High faster than the head lice breakout of ‘82. Not my fault, by the way.” He sets down a plastic bag, fishing around until he finds a bottle of cough medicine and a blanket she vaguely recognizes from his trailer. “So… where is he now?” 
“I ushered him back to his room not too long ago. He should still be asleep.” Robin hovers around him nervously, forcing a small smile. “Thanks for coming over. He’s gonna be super happy to see you.”
“I mean, it seems like you had the situation under control.” Eddie smiles back at her. It’s more comforting than she’d like to admit. “But I am really glad you called.”
His voice is calm in the face of Robin’s wavering demeanor. She tries to smooth out the worry lines in her forehead, clasping her hands together behind her back so that he can’t see the way she’s been wringing them together for the past hour. 
They reach the door to Steve’s bedroom. Eddie enters first, draping the blanket over Steve and tucking it around his trembling frame before perching himself against the edge of the bed. Steve’s back is turned, but Robin can see the way his chest trembles as it rises and falls, stuttering around the constant urge to cough or sneeze.
He shifts when he feels Eddie’s hand on the side of his face, ring-clad fingers affectionately brushing through his damp hair.
“Eddie?” he whispers. 
Eddie breaks out into a full-fledged grin upon seeing Steve’s eyes crack open.
“Hey there, sweetheart. I heard we’re not feeling well?”
“Hhhow did you - Hah’PTCHHHHh’uhh…” Steve groans quietly, massaging his swollen sinuses. “Sorry… Hah-! Hh’TCHHHHH! *snrff!*”
“Bless you.” Eddie leans down and presses a kiss to Steve’s pale forehead. “Let’s just say I’m here to relieve Robin of some of her nursing duties. You know I like to work a night shift.” 
It’s not much of an explanation, but Steve must be too exhausted to ask for specifics, because he just yawns, mindlessly scrubbing his nose with the corner of Eddie’s blanket. The longer-haired boy doesn’t seem to mind one bit.
“Gotcha.” He sniffles thickly. “I’mb really glad you’re here.”
“Me too, Harrington. Me too.”
Steve pauses, lowering the blanket from his face in realization. “Wait… is this yours?”
“It’s your favorite, isn’t it?” Eddie asks, affectionately pressing his thumb against the worried crease between Steve’s brows.
“Y-Yeah, I just dod’t wadda - Hh’ESSCHHHH’uhh!… - idfect it with my germbs. *snrk!* I’mb pretty gross.”
“You’re never gross. Here.” He passes Steve the bandana from his back pocket. “Blow some of that gunk out for me, okay? You’ve already had, what, two sinus infections this year?”
Steve lifts the bandana to his face briefly, then shakes his head in defeat. “Cad’t.”
“You can’t? Why not?”
“It hurts. *snffgg!* Whed I blow, it hurts mby - Hh’ESCHHHH! - mby head - Heh’TSSCHHHh!” His features twist horribly as another wave of pain hammers in his skull. “Fuck. *snxxg!* Ouch.”
Steve’s thick, wet sneezes and frustrated cursing are accompanied by a sudden flash of tears that Robin can see dribbling down his cheeks. Her chest tightens in a panic as she quietly backs towards the door, hoping that he can’t sense her presence. He’s probably already embarrassed enough to be crying in front of Eddie.
“Shhh, hey, hey.” Eddie’s voice is impossibly soothing.
“Sorry, I just - *snurrf!*” He drags a hand over his face, his features crumpling slightly. “It really hurts, Eds.”
“I know it hurts, baby. C’mere.”
Robin can’t hear much of what he says after that. His head is ducked down close to Steve’s so he can look him in the eyes, his fingers grazing against the younger boy’s damp cheeks. Suddenly, he grasps Steve’s shoulders, pulling him in for a hug so tight that Robin can feel the phantom of it from her spot in the doorway. Steve squeezes him back roughly, his shoulders starting to shake.
It’s almost hypnotizing, this strong display of emotion. Robin doesn’t realize she’s frozen in place until her eyes trail over Eddie’s face, peeking out from behind Steve’s hair to mouth, I’ve got him.
If it were anyone else, Robin wouldn’t believe it. But it’s Eddie, and Eddie has yet to prove her wrong about pretty much anything when it comes to Steve, so she nods. She exits the room with the strongest wave of relief she’s felt in a while. Eddie’s got him.

The cause of the accident is not known yet. The bus was reportedly jam-packed when the accident took place.
As many as 37 passengers were killed including the driver and 19 sustained injuries after a bus carrying them skidded off the road and rolled down into a 300-foot gorge in Jammu and Kashmir's Doda district on Wednesday.
The death toll is likely to go up, the officials said.
The bus skidded off the road near Trungal-Assar on the Batote-Kishtwar national highway and fell 300 feet downhill. According to sources, the bus was ferrying 56 passengers. Due to the fall from a considerable height, the bus was badly damaged, sources said.
Police and State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) personnel, besides locals, are involved in the rescue operation.
Some of the deceased have been identified and the bodies will be handed over to their families.
The injured were first taken to a hospital in Doda and subsequently, four of them were airlifted to the GMC hospital in Jammu.
The cause of the accident is not known yet. The officials said the bus was carrying extra passengers and while negotiating a "U" turn, it overturned and rolled down into the gorge.
The bodies were taken out after cutting some parts of the bus, they added. Some of the bodies were badly mutilated, the officials said.
Locals expressed concern over the poor condition of the road which, they said, not only led to this accident but several such incidents in the past.
Mohammad Ashraf, the sarpanch of the area where the accident took place, who along with other local residents, launched the rescue operation, said that at least 10 accidents have taken place in Doda of late, but the administration is yet to act.
"We gave Rs 6 lakh to repair the road. They failed to repair it. They have misappropriated the money. A similar accident took place here only a few months ago and many lives were lost," he added.
This is probably the biggest accident in Doda in the last few years.
Condolences pour in
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences to those who lost their lives in the accident. "The bus accident in Doda, Jammu and Kashmir is distressing. My condolences to the families who have lost their near and dear ones. I pray that the injured recover at the earliest," the PMO posted on X.
The Prime Minister has said that an ex-gratia of Rs 2 lakh from the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund would be given to the families of those killed in the accident. Those injured will receive assistance of Rs 50,000.
Meanwhile, J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha expressed profound sorrow and extended heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families.
"Extremely pained by the loss of lives in a tragic bus accident in Assar, Doda. My heartfelt condolences to bereaved families & wish for a speedy recovery of those injured in the accident. Directed Div Com & Dist Admin to provide all necessary assistance to affected persons," said LG Sinha.
