Where are you? I'm on my way.
Need anything from here?
no subject
Pack us an overnight bag. Some spare clothing, a few blankets, anything you think you'd need. I've got rations and shelter handled.
[ surprise! we're going camping. ]
no subject
give me twenty. Where do I meet you?
[ and he sets to work. Some of the things she asked for are easy enough, blankets, his phone if only for the camera, some pencils and papers and sweaters - but as far as Peggy's things go, well.
Steve has gotten terribly used to spending his nights with her. there was the hotel and now there's here but he never actually made himself familiar with her things. he draws a blank for a moment, what would she take if she were here?
be brave, rogers.
he's perhaps a bit fascinated by her clothing, how her scent seems to linger on the fabrics. he has to remind himself that she's waiting.
he gathers up his senses. Peggy would go for comfortable and practical, he knows this, he knows her. this shouldn't be so difficult.
and evidently, she doesn't mind him searching, which is sweet, really.
it takes a little longer than he anticipates, trying not to move anything out of place, trying not to stare too openly at things that are hers and are private ( he definitely doesn't trace at the hints of lace and silk that are more familiar that they ought to be ).
he's running a little late, he realizes and that alone makes him put aside his nerves and finish packing up.
he packs her gift as well - at an inner pocket of his jacket. ]
no subject
[ this isn't an off-the-cuff sort of plan. likely, she's been formulating it for days now. but putting him on the back foot by asking him to pack their bags is certainly intentional -- a way to game the day, perhaps, and keep the emotional high ground. with this pesky augment glitch, she fears she'll need every ounce of control she can find.
true to her word, however, she's waiting in a clearing at the market's edge. there's a pair of duffel bags propped up at her feet. she looks ready to go on a mission more so than a valentine's date. ]
no subject
most would valentine's day is to be spent with candlelight dinners but then, he and Peg have never been ordinary even before space.
it's different, now, more comfortable. he takes her hand in his when he arrives at her side. ]
I know, I'm late.
no subject
[ and when he steps off the shuttle, she steps on the thick canvas straps of both duffels at her feet. it wouldn't do to have them react to how pleased she is to see him -- sunlight hitting just so. slowly, she's learned to compensate for this awkward glitch. ]
I never actually believed you'd manage it in twenty minutes in the first place.
[ her expression crinkles but she takes his hand nevertheless. ]
no subject
[ it's a light tease. It takes him a second to understand what she's doing and when he does, he almost laughs. So things are still floating. He thought he must have been dreaming one morning when he woke up to see one of her lipsticks floating above her table.
He figured out the why, mostly. He thinks that it has more to do with the light feeling of peace and simply being content. He says nothing, for now. ]
no subject
Sidetracked. [ look! she plays it off all innocent-like. ] It wasn't that tough of a task I set you.
no subject
[ on the paper, anyway. but for now, he's willing to play along and wait for the right moment to hit that specific nail on the head. ]
And I'm not that late. Let me get those.
[ he looks down to the very bags whose straps she's standing on. mostly helpful and only a shade daring. ]
no subject
no subject
[ insist, that is. he picks up the bag and swings it easily over one shoulder. ]
They're not short for resources here.
[ he's not really surprised. only - perhaps still fascinated by the beings which inhabit this planet. ]
no subject
True enough. Funny looking folks, however -- the only tents I could find are sized more like small barns.
no subject
[ funny, indeed. ]
Besides, a barn-sized tent doesn't sound too bad.
no subject
no subject
[ all too cheerfully. ]
It'd be an adventure.
no subject
The spot's not far. We can leave the shuttle on flat ground and then hike a ways up the mountain -- there's supposed to be a lovely little bluff with a fresh water source. We can spend the night. Make our way back to the fleet tomorrow morning.
no subject
[ it's been a while since he flew one of the shuttles but it's not something one forgets. it's a solid plan, he has to wonder how long it's been in the making. ]
It's good to be out in the air again. It's been a while.
no subject
-- God, I haven't had a proper camp out since... [ russia, she realizes. ] '46, back home. Three years past, nearly, if you count time spent here.
no subject
Somehow -
[ he begins, taking a second to grin at her ]
I really doubt it was an ordinary camping trip back at '46.
no subject
It was good, though. Seeing the lads again. I never would have snagged the assignment without them.
no subject
[ since he had last thought of them. he remembers the uniforms at the museum and every now and then, his thoughts still stray. It's something that happens less and less. some would say it's a good thing, a sign of moving on.
For Steve, it's mostly a sign that he's been busy. ]
Were they mostly sober?
no subject
Took some the SSR agents along with us. Showed them how it's done.
no subject
[ That's a rather chilly camping trip. or more accurately, a mission. SSR agents, the Commandos. It's a missing piece of a history of people he cares about and for a change, it's a source of comfort, not grief. ]
Well if anybody can.
[ show them how. ]
no subject
We talked about you. [ a half-smile. the map on the dashboard twitches. ] There aren't many left I can do that with.
no subject
[ that much he get, at his own end. there may be those who'd like to think they knew what sort of connection he and her had but that would always be exaggerated and dramatic and far from the truth. But then there are the commandos, there's Stark.
For him, there's Bucky. A pillar, someone who knew. ]
I know.
