Summary
Robin approaches him slowly. She sees herself in the mirror: still dirt-smudged with bags under her eyes and dried blood obscuring her freckles. She rests her hand on Steve’s back and feels the rattle of his breath under the vest he still hasn’t taken off.
“It’s okay, Steve.”
He jerks his head up. His eyes are red-rimmed and shining. She slides her left hand all the way around his side until she’s hugging him from behind. She presses her cheek to the denim covering his back and closes her eyes.
“It’s okay, dingus. You can let it out,” she murmurs. She rubs her face against his back and slides her hand down the bare skin of his arm. “It’s just me. You don’t have to pretend you’re okay.”
Or: Steve has a tell for when he’s trying not to cry and Robin seems to be the only one who notices it.

Summary
“Robin-” Steve tried as she knelt down to pick up her phone, but he was caught. What the fuck could he say to explain away this?! Instantly, she shone the light back up at him. He could barely make out her face – her eyes were wide, analytical, and a little… scared? Maybe he was projecting. “Rob-” He tried again.
“You’re Spiderman?!” Steve could basically Robin connecting the dots in her head, her brain working overtime. “Holy shit, Steve! You’re-” Her focus shifted, down to where Steve was cupping his side – exactly where he didn’t want her to look. “You’re bleeding-”
This was not going according to plan.
or, Robin finds out

Summary
"There was something special about their relationship that people just didn’t get. They both knew that too. They were friends, platonically, with a capital 'P'. The type of 'P' that someone would pronounce with a loud popping sound, one that would make people in the splash zone wipe their faces. That’s how capital and how 'P' it was. Still, that didn’t stop them from doing things that normal couples would do."
Just one-shots of Steve and Robin being queerplatonic partners because I love them.
Romantic Stobin shippers DNI.

Summary
The first time Robin noticed it, Steve was helping a customer at Family Video.
He was in the middle of a sentence, i the middle of a transaction behind the register when his eyes drifted up towards the ceiling and his voice trailed off. His jaw shifted around and he chewed on his tongue.
It was like he was completely vacant.
It lasted a few seconds, and he snapped back in, finishing his sentence and continuing the transaction like nothing happened.-
Steve's been having seizures.

Summary
“Oh,” Steve says. Then again, “oh,” a little quieter. His expression changes; from confusion to something pained almost. “Mr Munson, I don’t…” he takes a deep breath, his voice a little shaky as he continues. “I don’t think he…I don’t think he likes me like that.”
He doesn’t say “it’s not like that.” Neither does he say “I’m not like that.”
That’s the first thing Wayne notices.
or: Wayne decides to give Steve the shovel talk, only to realize he might not be the one needing one
