Date nite, ft. 2 time assassins for siblings [Closed to Five's and Steve]

Rey was excited and not as nervous as she was anticipating herself to be. Tonight, she was going to have Steve over for pizza and a movie. A continuation of an earlier lunch date which went extremely well. A great first "date" and now, she was going to hang out with Steve again. He was a very sweet fellow who made her heart flutter and she couldn't believe they met and had exchanged numbers.

Her siblings advice on texting Steve (though she did not provide a name to her mysterious "friend") had gone pretty well, except the advice did not cover what to do if the objection of your affection texted you first. That had certainly thrown her for a loop, but it allowed them to talk, make plans...and now she was making sure the pizza was ordered, the movie was prepped and she had everything else she needed: water, soda if Steve wanted, and plenty of booze for her.

Which...actually reminded her of something.

Rey had thrown on an over sized emerald shirt with black leggings when she remembered she had to send a text to Five...or one of him? Both? Whatever the case, she needed one of him to pop over before her date arrived. Not that she was ashamed of her family but...she didn't think it was appropriate to have Steve and her eldest sibling meet--not yet.

Hey--There's still some coffee ice cream at my place. If you want it, come by in the next half hour.

Rey

Shouldn't take Five (one of them) long to read the message and pop on over...never mind the fact she put a time limit.

Now, she just needed to fix her hair a little. She had been wearing it in a pony tail all day, and she wanted to let it hang down.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Five prides himself on his ability to keep a neutral expression under pressure, when his 'twin' decides to put Steve to the test, he keeps a cool exterior. Though inwardly does worry if Rey is going to be angry with them later for this small infraction. It is tame, really, just trying to feel the other man out. They only really have history books and newspaper articles to go on right now.

Steve's response admittedly catches him a bit off guard, in his experience, no one is generally that good, but damn if this man doesn't live up to his hype. He reads that expression he gives to both him and his counterpart with ease.]

Mm, of course, we know.

[ Five replies simply, placing a hand on his counterpart's shoulder. His way of giving his other self, reassurance that he does believe the man can be trusted, at least with Rey's safety for the time being. If Steve isn't calling them out on the twin brothers lie or how they manage to be so much younger looking than Rey, then he's not going to volunteer the information.

He takes a moment to glance over to Rey with an apologetic gaze. They did say they would behave, but some times they can't stop themselves from being little shit starters. But Steve's not rising to the bait and that's a good thing.]

Maybe we should head out?

[ He suggests to his 'twin' as he can see poor Rey on the verge of a breakdown and that the last thing either of them really wants. ]

[ Five would argue that he isn't even asking questions, just chatting amicably with Steve. Or as amicably as he's capable of, which isn't much. There's something in the Captain's eyes that tell Five the man might be a bit doubtful of the situation at hand but the fact that his reply is a ressuring promise about Rey's talents tells him even more. The touch to his shoulder and the answer seems to satisfy the brunette enough that his smile turns a touch more sincere and he lets go of Steve's hand.

From the corner of his eye, he witnesses the interaction between Rey and the poor pizza guy and it's both totally hilarious and somewhat worrisome. They really overstayed if their sister is already acting like that and going for the strong drinks. Looking at his twin, Five gives a short but polite nod of agreement. ]

Good idea. Thanks for the ice-cream, Rey. [ And thanks for the patience, the voice seems to imply. It's not meek because Five doesn't even have that word in his vocabulary but it's truly honest. ] Have a good evening, you two.

[ The last part is directed at Steve. While Five still has a lot of new questions he wants answered, they can wait for another time. Tonight is Rey's night. ]

[Rey would gladly argue both of them were chatting with Steve and giving him thinly veiled threats, or trying to gauge if he was a true threat or not. Being nice meant making polite conversation and not trying to instigate a subtle interrogation! They didn't need to seize Steve up and deem him worthy. He was! He was Captain-fucking-America! He was an actual hero and someone kids looked up to--the same could be said of the Umbrella Academy, and honestly that was a horrible idea, but that wasn't the case here.

Rey managed to get the glasses out for herself and the three men in her apartment. Steve was trying to gently tear her away from pouring vodka into her glass. His tone helped, and honestly, she shouldn't come off as a drunk for the second date.]

As you wish.. [She murmured, turning around to look at her brothers, catching one of them giving her an apologetic look. She looks flustered and stressed, but at least she didn't look like she was about to have a break down.

What was surprising was how both of them were prepared to go. Something that she should be rejoicing in, yet she felt a pang of guilt. She wasn't trying to kick them out, but they did need to leave. The brunette managed a tired smile.]

Welcome, let me know if you want more. [Another look at both them with an understanding that she would be fine--and if all else fails, she'd let them know.

She waited for both of them to blink out of her apartment, looking out of the corner of her eyes to see Steve's reaction to their powers. The twins gone, Rey turned her back to Steve to put back two glasses.]

They're protective and guessed who you were. I thought they would be over for a few minutes, and it turned into 20 questions...[A frustrated sigh as she opted to grab Steve a glass of water, her mood a little down.]

Did you still want to watch the movie? [And now she was half way expecting him to walk away because that was weird, but it was her life.]

[ Steve makes a mental note to look up the information he had on the Umbrella Academy. He hadn't really bothered since his interest was in getting to know Rey, but he has questions and he doesn't feel like he can really ask Rey about them right now. It's too early.

He simply smiles when Five releases his grip on his hand and lets his hand fall to his side. He definitely feel that slight tension break, so he takes it as a small victory that her brothers are going to trust that he doesn't have bad intentions toward their sister. He's honestly not offended that they were feeling him out, he's done similarly for his close friends that he thinks of as family. It's normal for them to be overprotective, just means Rey's family cares about her.

He carefully watches the interaction between Rey and her siblings. A lot of silent gestures, but even he could see they were all close. It was actually heart warming to witness. Maybe their adopted father hadn't messed them up as badly as he could have? Steve can't say for sure, he just knows from what he read of Reginald Hargreeves, the guy was not someone he would have saw eye to eye with had he been around when he suddenly surfaced after World War II. ]

Have a good evening, you guys.

[He tells her brothers in turn, when one of them speaks directly to him. He only looks mildly surprised when they both vanish in a flash of blue light. Teleporters? He was really going to have to look at those records again. However that's for later, for now his attention is back on Rey. ]

You don't have to explain. I get it, they just want to make sure I'm not some jerk out to hurt their sister. It's sweet they care that much.

[ He offers up a smile as he walks over to her, closing the distance between them. Tentatively he reaches out and places a hand on her shoulder. ]

Why wouldn't I want to watch the movie? I came all this way after all.

[ His tone is joking as he urges her to turn around fully. ]

Really, it's okay. Overprotective siblings are not a deal breaker here.

[It was sweet Five cared that much about her, especially after reading their emotions, and in one case, understanding how much love he had for her. This was new territory for her, and she didn't want to mess it up--nor did she want her brothers start a rousing game of 'interrogate the potential suitor.'

She could hear the joking tone in his voice, and the hand on her shoulder relaxes her a little. The glasses were put away, and the glass she had in her hand for him was left on the counter in favor of placing her hand on top of his.

Slowly, Rey turned around. There was a slightly flustered look on her face. Her fingers slid in between the spaces between his knuckles, gently lowering his hand from her shoulder. It may have been bold of her to hold his hand, but her grip wasn't tight. Steve could pull away if he wanted to. Subconsciously, she wanted to hold him, but couldn't bring herself to fully go for it, so his hand was the next best thing.]

They bring a whole new level to 'overprotective,' and I wasn't sure if you wanted anyone else to know. [And secretly fretting about what he may think of their powers. Yes, he was Captain America who had his run ins with other agencies and with fighting bad guys, but there was nothing like the Umbrella Academy kids.]

I also wasn't sure if they should meet you, but they stalled for time until you came. [Clever shit stirrers, really.] And, I know it's weird, and different...and this is still early--I told you I over think things, and I don't want to mess anything up.

[Rey confessed softly, disliking herself for being this soft and vulnerable. Not that she didn't think Steve would use it against her, but she was so much better than what she was now. He made her feel weak in the knees and as much as she didn't believe in fairy tales, she was hoping this one may come true...a little.]

[ He didn't pull away when she moved to hold his hand, instead he threaded his own fingers with hers and gave her hand a gentle squeeze. He just wanted her to know that wasn't running away from her. This wasn't his first attempt at starting a relationship but he was still novice at it. The amount of women he had taken an interest in could be counted on one hand, so Rey was in a pretty exclusive group of special women. ]

It's alright, Rey. You don't have to keep me a secret from anyone that matters to you. As long as you don't sell me out to the tabloids, I think we're good.

[ He says the last line jokingly because he doesn't see Rey as the type who would sell her story to the dirtrags to make a quick buck off of him. Maybe he should have been more clear that he wasn't trying to keep them entirely under wraps from everyone. Granted he wasn't telling his friends about her yet, but that was because it was new and he didn't need them pulling up her dossier from SHIELD headquarters.]

That was sneaky of them, but from the looks of it, you three seem super close. Body language conversations only really happen when you are highly attuned to someone.

[Not that he is trying to put her on the spot, he understands the significance of being able to communicate with someone without the use of words. The body language he speaks with his friends is very different from the body language he shared with his squad, but it is all significant.

He gives her hand another gentle squeeze at her worries over messing things up between them. ] Come here.

[ He says simply, moving to pull her into a hug, because she truly looked as if she needed one. ] How can I help ease some of that worry, hm? Because so far, you've been pretty darn great.

[Of course Rey would never sell Steve out to the tabloids, that would be a huge violation of trust. Nor did she want to put that kind of target on her back, or on his. The man was a public figure and already had enough on his plate. But, it was good to know she didn't have to keep him a secret. However...she wouldn't tell too many family members, they would get very nosy and....god, she didn't want another 'surprise' pop-up during a date night.

One thing at a time.

What was touching was Steve gently squeezing her hand, offering some reassurance to her. He wasn't going to run screaming away. He wasn't afraid. Though, there were things he didn't know. He was very observant about how close Rey and the Five's were. There was another reason why she was close to them, her powers. They had let her into their minds at separate points....and she should probably be open and honest about her own abilities.

He pulled her into a hug, something she wasn't expecting. It took a moment to realize what was happening before her arms came around his waist, returning the embrace and feeling calmer? Better? All of the above, and how safe she felt then...

And bless him, did he just say 'darn'?]

You're doing it right now. [Her eyes fluttered shut, taking in the moment for what it was, not wanting to let go but knew it would have to happen eventually. Little by little, she began to pull back, but didn't break the hug entirely. Rey was still close enough to keep hugging him or, lean in for a kiss if either party wanted it.]

I needed that, thank you. [Rey didn't look at flustered as before and the smile on her face was softer. She was slowly coming down from her state of stress and worry.] But, maybe I could hold your hand during the movie?

[It felt silly to ask, and she felt so sheepish for asking, but she wanted to make sure she wasn't going too fast! Holding his hand felt nice, and being close to him felt even better. Though, if they were in a movie theater, they would be seated next to each other and she may have been able to slyly slipped her hand into his, but that was neither here nor there.]

But, yes, you're right. The twins and I are close, not solely because of our upbringing but... [Might as well rip off the band aid, right? Better he learn from her than a file.] I have telekenetic and empathic abilities. I can move things with my mind, and if I'm not careful, I can feel the emotions of others or skim the thoughts of another--which, I'm not doing now.

[Just have to put that out there for him.] Dad... [Her smile turned a bit bitter there at the mention of Reginald.] Was an ass, but he did help us to control our abilities. I don't read anyone's emotions or enter their mind without their consent.

[Rey paused, letting the information sink into Steve's mind. The back of her mind was whispering that now would be the time when he'd leave. He could handle bad guys, but could he be with someone who had the potential to read him?]

[ As Rey seemed to relax into his embrace, Steve simply smile, resting his chin lightly on top of her hair. Truly she seemed like a remarkable person, so he hoped that things worked out, but he didn't want to get ahead of himself. His job kept him traveling still and well there was still the occasional missions that he would run for SHIELD. So he never could tell if things would actually go his way for once. ]

Glad to hear it. [ He replied simply as she pulled back to look up at him, instinctively his hands moved up to rest at her shoulders.]

You're welcome and of course. [ He grins in amusement, but he can't but think that she looks incredibly cute asking for something so innocent. However he listens intently when the conversations shifts back over to her brothers and inevitably her powers. He was aware that she did have powers, but he hadn't exactly remembered which were hers. Truthfully he hadn't bothered checking because he figured she would likely tell him eventually.]

Oh? Is that why you've been worried? [He believes her when she says she hasn't read him, because she honestly doesn't seem like she has or she wouldn't have been so worried about whether or not he liked her. And well he is fairly good at detecting when people are being dishonest wholeheartedly with him. Rey hasn't ever really given him pause to think she might be trying to manipulate him.]

Look, this might come as a shock to you, but I've worked with some super powered individuals before. And well I'm not exactly normal myself, how do you think I survived being frozen for 67 years? I am glad to hear that your father did help you all with your abilities though, even if I completely disagree with him sending children out to fight crime. However I wasn't around back then to champion for you guys, because honestly I would have been very loud about children being allowed to be children.

[He gives her an apologetic grimace because he hadn't meant to rant to her about his opinions of her guardian. Even if everything he has ever heard about the man, left a bad taste in his mouth, she didn't need to hear it.]

Sorry, I didn't mean to go off on a tangent there.

Edited 2020-09-18 07:51 (UTC)

Yes, and no...a bit of both. [Rey admitted. She wasn't used to being closed to people. Her family was just coming back together, they were starting to reunite for a reason that WASN'T the apocalypse and she was still adjusting. Losing Five, then Ben, then everyone else left a lot of scars on her heart. Coupled with Reginald's lack of love, it was hard for Rey to get close to anyone. At least, not romantically.

Hell, it took Finn (a college friend) to get her to open up and trust him. He was one of her closest friends, same with Poe.

Neither of them were like Steve. Aside from him being Captain America, fighting crime and being around others with super powers, he was someone she liked. Someone she was dating, and someone she wanted to keep seeing--if he wanted the same.

She listened to him, taking in his words and found herself calming down further. There was a soft chuckle as Rey ducked her head slightly, causing some of her hair to slip in front of her face. She tucked it back with one hand as she looked back up at him.]

It's fine. I can't say Reginald would've appreciated someone butting into his business, but...[There was a soft shrug of her shoulders. This might be where she was still hung up on a few things from her childhood.] He provided us with a home, we could've had it a lot worse. He was still an ass and a terrible parent, but at least we had him.

[Finding the silver lining in the darkest of situations.]

But, I'm not sure if the others you've worked with can shoot lightening and compel others to do things? [Rey paused again, trying to work out how to best explain that particular power.] I relate it more to the power of suggestion, and it's very limited. Make someone walk away and pretend things are fine even when they've seen something strange. Or convince a bartender a drink was paid for, and have them pour a shot on the house.

I haven't used it on anyone recently--with the exception of, if there's someone who hears about the Academy and can't take 'no' for answer, but that hasn't happened in a while.

[One of the few times she would give in and use her abilities--outside of what they did in Disney World, but that was more for family bonding.]

I don't want you to think I'd ever use my abilities on you--that's not who I am.

[ Ugh he had opinions on Reginald Hargreeves that he didn't really want to express after that rant. While he gets that her situation could have been worse, he also knows that it could have been better as well. He's met some of the other children that were mysteriously born on October 1st, 1989. However tonight isn't the night to get into stuff like that. He just wants to enjoy Rey's company. So he keeps his mouth shut about her father, choosing to talk more about her powers. ]

Would it shock you to learn there is a woman out in the world who has control over the weather? So she can create lightning, wind, rain, the whole shebang.

[ He's not going to identify the woman because that part is clasified, but if knowing she exists helps Rey feel less isolated. He's also aware of others with mind powers similar to what she is explaining, but they are definitely one hundred percent classified. He honestly doesn't know if SHIELD knows about Rey's powers but he doesn't plan on enlightening them in any case. Because truth be told, he doesn't 100% trust SHIELD most of the time. ]

Honestly Rey, I believe you when you say that you wouldn't use your powers on me without my consent. It means a lot that you feel you can trust me enough to tell me these things. So I'll do my best not to shake that trust, okay?

Edited 2020-09-18 19:17 (UTC)

[It danced across Rey's mind if the woman Steve mentioned was one of the other kids born on that lovely October day. Or, if she was just...someone else who was special? However, did he miss the glaring difference between that woman and her? One of them was dating Steve, and one of them could easily make him bend to their will...but she didn't want to bring it up. He was trying to make her feel better. It made her think back to their phone call, with him teasing her that she bruised his ego.

A fond memory making her smile stand out a little more.]

Wouldn't surprise me, but you sure know how to make a girl feel ordinary.

[Teasing to lighten the mood and to see if she could get him to chuckle. Far from ordinary, she knew that but only thought it went as far as her powers. Personality, looks, and everything else, she didn't think much of. Baggage that could be discussed on another day.]

Okay... [A nod of her head, taking Steve's word for it. Though she didn't need to read his mind, she knew she could trust him. Maybe it was the look in his eyes, or how safe she felt in his arms. She bridged the gap between them again, giving him a hug this time.]

Thank you again, for everything. [Coming over, being understanding...the entire thing. She gave him a gentle squeeze before slowly puling back to hand reach behind her to give him his glass of water.]

Help yourself to the pizza, there are paper plates on top. I can pop the movie into the Blue-Ray player.

[ He lets a laugh as he knows she is anything but ordinary, but he gets the call back to their phone call. If she hadn't been so awkward about things so far, he would probably be more worried about her ability to control minds. But as it stands, she's been trustworthy, of course there was the thing with her brothers, but he could appreciate her need to want to protect them. And well he didn't expect her to share everything about her life with him, at least not so early while they were still figuring each other out.]

Is that good or bad?

[ He teases right back, even as she hugs him again. He gives her another reassuring squeeze that he's still sticking around. It's not everyday, he meets someone that he connects with so easily and he isn't willing to give it up because things are getting unconventional. ]

You're welcome, Rey. But really you don't have to thank me. [ And he meant it, consoling her felt right and he didn't ever need thanks for doing what felt right to him. Instinctively he released his grip on her as she pulled away, taking the glass of water she offered him. Honestly relieved that she seemed a lot more calm now. ]

Alright. [He nodded, moving over to the stove where she had placed the pizza. ] Do you want me to grab you a slice too?

[He offered, since she was going to set up the movie. ]

[Steve's laugh makes her heart flutter. He's taking everything so well, and it makes her want to hold onto him that much more. He's an incredible person--regardless of the fact that he was a soldier, or well, a celebrity. He was an incredible person, one she wanted to learn more about--and not from textbooks or a museum.

Him, Steve Rogers. Not Captain America.]

It's a good thing, trust me. [No need to explain how refreshing it was. He understood better than most. How being so extraordinary was more of a curse than a blessing at times. Yes, she had her siblings, but for years they were a fractured group. The people she did meet, she had to keep her guard up and wonder what their true intentions were. She had very few people in her life that weren't her family that she could count on.

As for the slice of pizza there was a brief shake of her head.]

No, I'll get it myself thank you though. And there's packets for cheese and pepper too. [Rey trusted Steve to let her know if he needed anything that he'd let her know.

Giving him a more confident smile, she pulled away from him to set up their movie. It didn't take too long with her turning the television and Blue-Ray player on. In a few seconds, she popped the movie in and went back into the kitchen to grab her slide of pizza.

On her way back to the kitchen, she waved her hand behind her causing the small coffee table she had to slide closer to the couch to make it well within their reach if they wanted to put their paper plates on top.]

Movie is ready, go ahead and take a seat. Hope the pizza's okay, I tried to find something close to New York pizza. I've never been to New York, so I had to research and hope for the best.

[ He simply nodded, acknowledging that she wanted to get her own slice. As she moved to get the movie set up, he moved over the stove to grab a slice of pizza for himself. He wasn't super hungry, but he could always use the extra calories, since he had a high metabolism. ] Thanks, but I don't really bother with the added stuff. I like to taste the pizza first and see how it is.

[ He told her as he took a bite of his slice. It wasn't New York style really, but it was still good in its own right. He watched as she grabbed a slice for herself and then moved the table with her powers. It was actually pretty impressive. One of the girls he was helping to train had similar powers, but she was more like a little sister to him than anything else. However she was also classified, so he couldn't exactly talk about her without violating the NDA that he had signed for SHIELD. ]

It's fine, though maybe one day I'll get to introduce you to a proper New York Style slice of pizza.

[His tone hopeful as he really did hope that they would get to see each other again. Beyond his time in town this week. Slowly he sat down on the couch, putting his plate and glass on the table. ]

Yeah? [Rey picked up on Steve's hopeful tone and the idea of going to New York to sight see and see him brought a smile to her face. She washed her hands in the sink, and opted to dry them with a paper towel before reaching for a paper plate.]

I'd like that. If New York is where you're mainly stationed, I wouldn't mind a trip out there. Always seemed interesting. [And he could show her around--if he wasn't busy or anything.

She grabbed her slice and her water then made her way to the couch to sit next to him.]

If you want me to pause or anything, just let me know.

[Pizza and water on the coffee water, Rey pressed play on her remote to start the movie. She sat next to Steve, enjoying the movie and the food, but every now and then looked over to him to see if he was enjoying himself.

Once they were done with their pizza, she moved closer to him, well within hand-holding distance.]

[ He gives her nod and a smile. Definitely glad that she would be interested in coming to New York. ]

Yeah, I live out in Brooklyn mostly, but I got between New York City and Washington D.C. depending on where they need me.

[ He explained as she took a seat beside him and moved to grab the remote after putting her own plate and glass on the table. ]

Okay, no problem.

[Even as his attention moved to the movie, he could occasionally feel her eyes on him. That only served to make him smile more. As they finished up eating, he noted her moving closer. Thus he chose to close the gap, by reaching out to wrap an arm around her shoulder and pull her closer. Was it bold of him? Yes, but they had already hugged earlier, so was a little cuddling during the movie so bad? ]

[Steve had said it was okay if she held his hand during the movie. The question became when Rey should make her move. If she should wait until the pirate revealed himself to be Princess Buttercup's long lost love? Or until they're battling the ROUS'? Luckily for Rey, she didn't need to wait too long.

Steve placed his arm around her, taking her by surprise. She had to resist turning her head to look at him, as if to ask if that's what he really wanted, but talked herself out of it. Rather, she went along with the action, opting to move closer so she could lean against him.

The hand that wanted to reach for Steve's settled on his thigh instead.

Rey was greatly enjoying herself. The night was going so well, yet...there was one thing on her mind. Feeling bold, she pulled back ever so slightly to give Steve a light kiss to his cheek.]

[ Instinctively he gave her shoulder a squeeze as he felt her lean in to kiss his cheek. He couldn't help but smile more even as it felt a bit surreal. Sometimes he wanted to pinch himself, asking if this was real or not.

Though he tried not to let himself get too much in his head as he turned his attention back to the movie, which was turning out to be funny and heartwarming. He could see why it had been recommended to him, since it kind of fueled the flames of the hopeless romantic that lived inside him. ]

I can see how people find this movie quotable.

[ He commented as they listened to Inigo say "You keep using that word. I don't think it means, what you think it means." Lightly he chuckled, while his hand lightly rubbed Rey's upper arm in small circular motions.]

Mhmm, and it has something for everyone. Action, adventure, comedy, romance... [And more than it's fair share of quotable lines. It really was enjoyable, and the movie was incredibly more entertaining than the book.

And maybe Steve might pick up on Wesley's line of 'As you wish' that Rey threw at him earlier when she wanted to go for the vodka. She was feeling completely at ease with him. No desire to get up and look at her phone, or check her work emails.

She was enjoying this moment with him...and of course, trying to hold back a few laughs as they got to the 'mawridge' scene.]

I get why everyone kept telling me to watch it.

[ He admitted, there was a lot of things that got recommended to him and he always added it to the list. But really there only so many hours in a day and he still had work to deal with on top of catching up on things.

However it was actually nice to share the experience with someone else for once. Instinctively he gave Rey's arm another squeeze. He was really happy they had agreed to watching a movie together. It seemed like the perfect way to end what had been a very long day for him. ]

We should do this again some time.

[ He suggested glancing over to her with another warm smile. ]

You would've gotten around to it eventually.

[If he had seen this movie, they could've watched something else. Honestly, it wouldn't have mattered to her what movie they watched as long as they could have watched it together. Hopefully snuggled up on the couch with Steve's arm wrapped around her.

For once, she wasn't thinking about work. Or wondering if her siblings were okay, or if Five was okay. Everything was right in the world (for now) and she could be...herself? Or, be a girl in her apartment with a guy she was dating.

A kind, handsome, great guy who went by the name of Steve Rogers.

She saw him glance over at her, saw that warm smile that made butterflies flutter in her stomach. Rey could only give him a fond smile in return.]

Yeah, we should. [Rey wanted to keep seeing him.] It was great to spend time with you and not have to say goodbye so soon.

[Did that make her sound corny? Aw, well, fuck it.]

I usually do, when it come to things on my list.

[ He lightly chuckled. Really it was nice to be able to spend time with someone and just feel normal. No government jobs, no superhero business, no expectations other than having a pleasant evening together.

He smiled again, when she glanced up at him, giving him that sweet smile of hers. He was quite happy to hear her agreeing that the should hang out again. Maybe it was impulsive, but he found himself bringing his free hand to cup her cheek, his thumb brushing over her cheekbone.]

Hm, definitely.

[ He can't help but agree as he took the chance and leaned in to kiss her. Was it too soon? He didn't really know, but it felt like the right move to make. ]

[Rey didn't know what the protocol was for kissing on a date--how soon was too soon, or who should make the first move. She thought she was pretty clear when it came to what she would like by kissing him on the cheek.

When his hand came up to cup her cheek, her smile grew. Rey wanted to lean into his touch but Steve drew her closer and kissed her.

Time felt like it stopped. A sweet kiss that made her heart beat faster. Was it bad she wanted to deepen the kiss? Or that she didn't want to pull back?

Sadly, she would have to pull back. Slowly drawing back from him, managing to pull back just enough to give them both some space, but close enough to start kissing once more.]

I was hoping you'd do that... [Murmured softly, gazing at him, looking smitten.]

[While Steve has always been a stand up guy and all around good person. He's still human and he still can be tempted. Rey's a pretty woman and he's not unaware of that fact, however he restrains himself from letting the kiss get heated on his side.

Even as she pulls back, he keeps his hand on her cheek. Lightly he rest his forehead against hers and lightly chuckles at her words.]

Good, I was hoping you wouldn't be mad at me.

[ He teases lightheartedly, before pressing one more soft kiss to her lips. Though this time, he makes to keep it short and sweet.]

I should probably start getting ready to go. Are we still on for dinner, Friday?

Don't think I could be mad at you.

[Rey murmured, unable to stop smiling from the tender, sweet kiss. His forehead lightly pressed against hers. Something so simple, so intimate that made her feel weak in the knees--thank goodness they were sitting down. It might've been hard to stand after that.

Teasing as he was, it was true on Rey's part. She doesn't know if it's possible to be mad at him, not in this instance.

Alas, all good things must come to an end. Another kiss, and the unfortunate reality that Steve had to leave.]

Yeah...wouldn't want you to be late for work in the morning. [Though Rey lingered close to him, prepared to sneak another kiss in if she could, waiting for the right moment.]

Mhmm, we are. Nothing has come up on my end. My place again?

[Since he knew where it was and they could have pizza and....

Fuck it, she leaned in to steal a quick, sweet kiss from him.]

Date nite, ft. 2 time assassins for siblings [Closed to Five's and Steve]
