Fics like thought of your future (with one foot in the past)

From California to Hawkins, decisions need to be made about the future. In the end they're young, trying to make the world work for them. For some, that means staying at home, for others that means fleeing the nest. Whatever their choices, somehow they'll all end up right where they need to be. Robin watches as Eddie and Steve smile privately in the little crevice between two shelves of tapes and thinks they’re idiots. Her idiots. And she can’t, for a moment, remember where she begins and they end. They’re so dumb, for dancing around each other like this, when they obviously want each other so badly. She thinks they’re so brave to stay, thinks she couldn’t. Thinks the world is out there and it’s so painfully sharp like fractured glass she wants to grab it in both hands and smother it against her chest. Wants to smash through it, find the rainbow layers of broken glass. Find something for herself in those shards, until she can come home with it to Steve and show him the mess of her hands, torn and shredded from the world, and he will pat her head and say "I’m proud of you".
