( sara gazes up into those big blues of his like she's trying to piece all of these different things about him together — that whole "frozen in ice" thing, his fumbles with modern slang, his innate grace when it comes to stringing words together into something much more than silly texts on a screen, the sheer charm that he has without even trying. frankly, she can hardly wrap her head around it, and then —
it doesn't matter, because he's cutting right to the chase now, surprising her yet again as fingers (weathered, she notes mentally) brush against her cheek; sara's only natural reaction is to tilt her chin up, lean into his touch.
— except he stops short? her eyes blink open to meet his with a furrowed brow, confused and a little concerned and then steve just. speaks. asks such a ridiculous question that she can't help but laugh, mostly just surprised by it. but, as if to prove to him that she's not laughing at him, she slides her hand on top of his against her cheek, stands on her tiptoes so she can close that damn gap without his help, lips capturing his in a warm kiss that she lets linger, tugging him down to her level. )
That answer your question? ( sara asks once their mouths part, a little breathy, hint of a laugh still carrying in her voice. )
