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.

[ 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?

[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.]

More like a series of meetings. I'll give you a call if I can.

[ He tells her, still keeping an arm around her. Truly he wishes he could stay longer, but he does have an early morning and well he doesn't quite trust himself not to move faster than they need too. He doesn't want to rush things and then have them fall apart so soon afterwards.]

Sure, I'll bring the food. There's a Chinese take out place that one of my co-workers told me about...

[Though he trails off as Rey presses another kiss to his lips. He lightly laughs, taking his own turn to press another kiss to her lips, before slowly moving his arms away from her.]

It's been a fun evening. I'm glad we got to spend time together.

Mhmm. [It'll take a moment for Rey to come down from her high. Vaguely, she felt Steve pull his arm back from her side and he said something...

Right, she should say something in return.]

Me too, and Chinese food sounds good.

[Rey felt herself being pulled back down to Earth and began to pull away from Steve.]

We could watch another movie or, just talk. Either way, spending time with you will be great.

Great, sounds like we got a plan forming. Do you need any help cleaning up?

[ He does have to be going very soon, but he doesn't want to leave her a mess to deal with either. That's never been his style. Especially since she was nice enough to have him over so soon after they had only just met at Disney World.]

[There's a shake of her head as she gets up to walk Steve to her door.]

No, I got it taken care of. If you want to take some of the pizza back to your hotel, I have tinfoil.

[She's a big deal, she can take of it but the fact he's offered speaks volumes. He really is a great guy.]

No that's alright. I've never been a fan of reheated pizza. Especially from the microwave. [ He lightly grimaces, but his tone is on the joking side as starts to walk to the door.

Once he reaches the door he turns back around to face, Rey. His hands landing on her shoulders.]

Thanks for the food and movie. Hopefully your brothers don't interrogate you tomorrow.

[He lightly chuckles, knowing his friends would do that to him if they knew he was on a date. He leans in to give her one last kiss before he leaves.]

Good night. [ He whispers near her lips before he steps back and reaches for the door knob. ]
