[ Steve holds the strawberry by the stem and instead of taking a bite he holds it out for Cordelia if she'd like. ]

You're sarcastic? I didn't even notice. [ He's got jokes. ] The main difference is--you are much prettier. [ Please don't murder him, Rose, you're pretty too. ]

[allaboutme]

[ ok that shuts down any jealousy pretty fast. she gets all heart eyes, a grin breaking out across her face, before she leans forward to delicately take a bite, looking up at him through lashes with a coy expression that's pretty disarming itself (charm 33). her fingers drift to her lips to wipe away some of the stray red painting them afterward. ] Well, yeah.

[recruited]

[ When she gives him that look Steve looks about ready to die right there (will save crit fail). He drops the strawberry because right now the only thing Steve can really focus on is Cordelia and her lips. Everything about her. ] Wow. You really are beautiful. [ The words leaves his mouth before he can actually stop himself. ]

[allaboutme]

[ her eyes trail down his face, reading his expression, her own heartbeat quickening as she registers his amazement. it all feels a little surreal, and there's something in his repetition that really warms her from the inside out. plenty of people compliment her on her looks - in fact, more than she's likely to get complimented on any of her other qualities - but when steve says it, it makes her feel like it's about a lot more than just the exterior. probably why in true cordelia form, she just says what she's thinking. ] ... If you wanted to kiss me again, this would be a great opening.

[ Steve looks a little like a deer caught in headlights when she says that. He does however not let that stop him. He sits up and moves over towards her side of the blanket. Now that he's next to her he lifts a hand to brush her cheek. He leans in towards her and kisses her (dex 21). It's not as monumental as the first kiss they shared, but it's fairly nice. ]

[allaboutme]

[ wow speak for yourself, steven. she thinks it's a lot more than fairly nice. her hand slides around his neck, a soft sound escaping her throat as she returns the kiss. when their lips part, her eyelids stay closed a moment before fluttering open. ] ... Wow is right.

[ He looks a little love drunk right now. His mouth still half open and his eyes having a tough time opening. Right now Steve is the starstruck young ingenue who is struggling to form actual sentences. ] We should do that more. [ Contain yourself, Steve. ]

[allaboutme]

[ she reaches up to trace dat jawline with her fingers lightly, her voice a little breathless as she concedes: ] I mean... we are really good at it.

[ He's had a few kisses since he woke up, but they've never really meant anything. The dates were only dates and then the connections fizzled into nothing. Steve was either too busy with SHIELD or just not ready. Now it's a different feeling. It's electric. It's heat. It's all sort of blending together. He doesn't understand it, but he definitely is enjoying it. ] I agree. [ He sighs a little and smiles. ] I'm really happy I came through the veil, Cordelia.

[allaboutme]

Pretty fond of that fact myself. [ but it means a lot to hear him admit it. and for her part? she can't think of anywhere she'd rather be ] Both through the Veil and through time.

Took me almost eighty years to find the right woman.

[ Guess what, Cordelia, that woman is you. ]

Well, worth the wait.

[allaboutme]

[ ♬ feel again - onerepublic

she blinks a couple of times, as if that one doesn't fully register for a moment, but when it does, her features soften even more, her fingers drifting down to his neck, curling around the back of it as she leans forward, her lips hovering close to his for several maddening heartbeats, as she smirks. ] Guess we'll have to make up all that time somehow. [ and her lips brush his again, a soft, appreciative kiss, that lets him know just how much this all means to her. ]

[ When she lingers like that Steve watches her with anticipation. Like a kid forced to wait to have a present on Christmas morning. His lips curl up into a grin at her comment before she's kissing him again. Slow and sweet. After a few beats Steve pulls her down into a laying position before his kiss breaks to let laughter out. Happy laughter. His eyes switch to the sky and he smiles. ]

I have faith that you're capable of that. [ Making up the time that is. ]

[allaboutme]

[ she grins, pleased, and lays her head against his chest, next to her hand. ] Oh, you know it. I don't waste a minute, mister.
