"Code red, I repeat, code red. Does anyone copy? This is a code red, I repeat, a code red. We are innocent children, and we are trapped under Starcourt Mall. The Red Army has infiltrated Hawkins, and if we are found, they will torture and kill us!"

Azalea rubbed her eyes, being woken up by Dustin loudly trying to get in contact with anyone from his radio.

That's when she realized her head was resting on Robin's shoulder.

Panic and embarrassment woke her up fast, and she shot her head up causing Robin to look at her.

"Sorry! I didn't mean to—" Azalea started.

Robin laughed lightly, "Don't worry about it. I didn't mind."

Robin got up from her seat with a stretch and went to check on what Erica was doing.

Azalea decided to stand on top of the tables and boxes, and peeped her head through the top of the elevator to see the others.

"Good morning, boys," Azalea chimed, greeting Steve and Dustin.

"We're still trapped in a secret Russian elevator," Steve grumbled, "What's so good about it?"

"All right, why are you such a cranky pants after getting to spend the night with Robin?" Dustin teased in a sing-songy voice.

Shit.

Did that mean Steve liked Robin? Why else would Dustin tease him like that?

Well, if Steve liked Robin, Azalea was pretty sure Robin liked Steve too.

And of course she had to be in the middle of it, being friends with them both, but having feelings for Robin, meaning only heartbreak was in her future.

As if it would ever work between her and Robin. Two girls dating in Hawkins? Never.

"Shh! Jesus Christ." Steve lowered his voice, "Will you just give up on your creepy dream already?"

"I heard you guys talking all night." Dustin sang.

"We were trying to figure out a way to open up the door while you children were sleeping." He shot back, "Besides, it was Azalea she chose to sleep with."

Azalea gave him a raised brow look, waiting for him to comprehend what he just said. Dustin was staring at him too with a goofy grin, holding in a laugh.

It clicked.

"I mean, she chose to sleep beside Azalea over me." He corrected with a grimace, "Get your mind out of the gutter, you two."

Dustin and Azalea shared a look and laughed.

"Besides, we have exactly no plan whatsoever to get us out of here, which is, you know, probably just a little bit of the reason why I'm feeling just... a tad cranky." Steve ranted, walking over to the corner of the elevator.
