he's so... endearingly cute for someone who looks like — in her experience, anyways — they should act anything but. it kind of catches sara a little off guard. )
It'd be alright by me if you wanted to imply things Isn't that what flirting's supposed to be all about?
Ma'am kind of makes me feel like an old lady though which is ridiculous since you're apparently supposed to be the geezer around here
[ The oldest grandpa to ever grandpa sometimes. Not to mention the verdict's still out on the giant dorito's virginity. He's just been really busy with with the Avengers and SHIELD and pretending he's totally fine. ]
I'm afraid I'm not very good at implying. Might need a few lessons. Flirting too. For twenty something years of my life I didn't have ladies lining up to flirt. It's been a while, but I'm still adjusting to the attention.
Sign of respect is all. I definitely don't think you're an old lady. Too pretty to be one.
( it's hard for sara to believe that there'd be nobody trying it, (shallowly) considering this guy's looks, especially for that long — but hell, she doesn't know his whole story yet.
still, this is starting to feel like some kind of exciting challenge and sara's all to ready to take it up. )
See? You're already learning.
I think I could teach you a thing or two, though What do you wanna know?
[ The bad guys don't really stop to give you tips and Steve hasn't started dating again since long before SHIELD fell. He was busy. Very busy. His kiss with Sharon was the first in a while. ]
Always been a pretty quick learner.
Wouldn't even know where to start. I'll let you know how bad off I was though a long time ago. Well into my twenties I did think fondue was code for sex. Didn't realize it was a food.
( most bad guys don't, but sara's a morally grey probably-formerly-considered bad guy with a heart of gold who will relish in giving steve the tips that it's so devastatingly clear he requires. )
Hey, anything can be code for sex if you try hard enough For example, I could really go for some fondue tonight Maybe even knock boots with someone Roll in the hay Get to know someone biblically If you know what I mean
Which one do you think it is? I'll leave that up to you Make you think about it a little bit more.
( something's telling sara nnnnnot to push it too far, considering his — she'll call it "delicate sensibilities" due to his original time period. doesn't mean that she's not going to tease the hell out of him and make him sweat it out if she can help it, though. )
You know the old saying with age comes wisdom. They forgot the part that with age comes jokes. Many, many, many jokes.
[ He is very delicate. Delicate sensibilities often kicking in. ]
It's not nice to leave the elderly just wondering. When we don't have answers our imaginations run wild. It's not pretty. Ya know telling me is actually doing a public service.
All dad jokes aside Your imagination running wild is kind of the whole point I might be doing you a public service already and you just don't realize it
[ That's the Steve Rogers specialty. Dad jokes and sass that never seems to have an ending point. Buckle in, Sara. ]
Sure you wanna mess with my imagination? Been alive a long time. It gets pretty vast.
[ It doesn't. He knows some things, but he's not creative in that sense. He has a lot to learn. But he can talk big. Steve's always been good at that. Even when he weighted a hundred pounds soaking wet. ]
[ Well, she's not wrong. He is dancing around the topic. Only because Steve's not overly used to talking about it this up front. But maybe he needs this. ]
Alright. Inspire me and I'll see what I can do for you.
[ Though that sounds far dirtier than he intends, but it works. ]
[ He almost drops his phone, but his reflexes are better than the average human so he catches it. Trying to process how she looks that nice. He's never met a girl with abs that nice. Not even Nat. ]
I'm very inspired. Wow. You're a one of a kind lady aren't you?
[ He'll elaborate soon. He just needed to clarify that. ]
[ He know she's alone in his apartment, but he's looked around his living room like five times to make sure that he doesn't have anyone watching him. Like he could somehow get into trouble for this. You're a grown man, Steven. ]
The first thing that came to my mind is I wanna really kiss your stomach. Well, you in general. All over.
( it's more of an answer than sara's expecting, and boy, does she like it. he's a fast learner, this one — a total loser or not. sara's none the wiser. )
I like the sound of that.
All over, huh? I bet your lips would feel nice all over Against my stomach, down along my hip bones, my thighs Might even let you kiss me all nice and properly if you're lucky
[ He's bad at this. He can only really go with what sounds good in his head. What he wants as well. He doesn't go too dirty because while she does seem to be giving off the signs that she can handle it Steve still worries. Like he usually does. ]
Really now? I think I'd like that. You look like you have nice lips. Soft. Perfect you could say. And your neck. Bet I could kiss that too.
( is he, though?? is he really that bad at this? because sara's inclined to disagree, if only because of the way her thumb swipes to unlock her phone a little too quickly each time she gets the little alert chime from cuddlr. )
I bet you could, too. You thinking about using your hands at all, Steve? You look like you probably have good hands but what do I know
[ As an artist maybe he can paint a picture. Words are easy to come by when you're giving a big speech, but a little more difficult when they're directed at a pretty girl. He learned that. ]
I'm an artist. My hands are pretty good.
I'd be happy to have my hands do some wandering. Fingertips down your sides. Only if you're not ticklish though. Raising your shirt slowly. Bit by bit. Kissing each new spot that's exposed. Until I can get it off. Touch you for real.
( steve's good at painting pictures — so good that he's putting sara's imagination through the ringer, making her bite the inside of her lip as she reads to keep focus, her foot bouncing restlessly as she lays sprawled across her couch, legs crossed.
sara's going to reel herself in a little before she gets too carried away — because god does she want to get carried away right now. )
For the record, I'm not ticklish. I dunno why I doubted you, Steve Your imagination's still pretty good in your old age Makes me want to tell you to put your money where your pretty mouth is
[ He appreciates the compliment. Where his pretty mouth is. No one's ever told him that. Somehow it seems less strange to hear from someone like Sara. Or maybe it's just cause she's really pretty. It negates the awkward factor that could come from literally anyone else. ]
If I gave you my address, would you come over? If it's not past your bed time, I mean. You've been so good about indulging me so far I wouldn't want to seem greedy.

Man, I'm pretty sure some of these sayings might actually be older than me.
Question is are you really looking to get some fondue or is it just another example?
[ It's tough to say if he means fondue or fondue. It's Steve. ]
no subject

( talk about dad jokes. grandpa jokes? sara can rock 'em on occasion — like right now, as she fights off the urge to tell him to fondue her already. )
I just wanna get to know that imagination of yours a little more.
See if things are as pretty inside as they are outside.

thanks phone tags for the hecked up html
or i could try that againdon't worry — in the meantime, sara's gonna be over here, entirely too satisfied with herself. )
You could say that.
i dug it outta the coding LOL
