Who: Steve Rogers + you.
Broadcast: yep.
Action: on the starstruck, if you're inclined!
When: current.

[ It has been a long time since Steve Rogers has done one of these little network announcements, seven months, if you want to be specific about it. Some things have changed, others haven't. He still looks awkward about addressing a whole lot of people at once for something that isn't an emergency. The uniform is gone, however, replaced by a simple blue t-shirt and jeans and the shield is nowhere in sight.

He seems to have spread many sheets of paper all over the Starstruck's kitchen. Some feature tables of dates - undoubtedly a calendar in the making and others feature, well, drawings; each sheet contains one scenery. They would strike some people as rather familiar, a hand-holding tree, a sandy beach, the market of the tri-fraction system with people wearing clothes in various colors, the woods of the Lagan system, the Nebula lights and lastly, the mountains of Siourew and the Co’kal. ]

I meant to finish a few calendars by New Year's Eve but it seems I'm behind on my deadline.

[ To say the very least. He rubs his chin, there's a beginning of a stubble there. How many days has he devoted to this as of late? it's hard to tell. ]

I'm not going to write years on 'em, since it's different for all of us but I thought it might be a nice way to keep up with dates and holidays.

[ He frowns and confesses, ]

I feel like I've left some things out - and some of you have seen planets I haven't been around to see for myself. I figured I'd ask - if you have the time, you can describe some of them to me and I'll add them to the calendar. It can be anything you liked on any of the planets we've been to.

[ and, okay, fine - ]

I could use a description of where we're currently docked, too.

[ How can a person so big can seem so awkward? ]

Thanks you.

I didn't intrude in anything. I just facilitated what neither of you would have done for yourselves.

Edited 2017-03-13 22:04 (UTC)

You've facilitated. That's what it was.

[ the most dry. ]

That's what I call it. Not my fault the two of you needed an extra push.

I'd call it a shove. And not a gentle one.

[ but he's in peace with it, it would seem. ]

You can't blame me if both of you are stubborn.

I wouldn't say stubborn -

[ he'd absolutely say stubborn. ]

[Yeah, he better.]

I'll save you the embarrassment of asking what word you would use.

How about tenacious?

[ that's a good one. see? no embarrassment! ]

Hm. Tenacious normally means you're pursuing a goal, not that you're digging in your heals.

I'm going to stand by stubborn on this one.

I'd like to think any two people in a relationship are pursuing a goal -

[ and wait hold on ]

We haven't been digging in our heels. Tenacious.

[ so there it is. black widow and captain america are bickering about the semantics of his love life. ]

Then for a while there you were tenaciously trying to avoid moving forward in your relationship.

[Because he's wrong. And because it's a nice distraction.]

I'll admit you've been doing better.

Are you keeping some sort of score?

[ would it even surprise him? probably not. ]

I mean, we've moved up on the Romanoff scale?

I've been paying attention. As a friend.

Multitasking.

[ it's an echo from home, from a conversation they had in the middle of an OP. it feels like it's been forever since those times. ]

Just one of my many talents.

You mean except for matchmaking?

That's another of them, I'd like to think.

Matchmaking and meddling.

[ biting back on a smile ]

Sounds pretty damn accurate.

You know you like that about me.

[Don't even pretend you don't.]

Besides, I have to do something with my free times.

Well, now that you've finished arranging my love life,

[ and nobody can say she didn't help, odd methods aside. ]

What's your next project?

Well, it was going to be Kara and Mon-El, but that's already been put to bed.

Turns out those two were easy compared to you and Peg.

well, you can't say we didn't supply you with work.

[ at least now the meddling can stop right? RIGHT? ]

True. But now it does look like I need something else to keep my hands busy.

[That sounds like a yes, Steve. At least for now.

As long as you two aren't being dumb.]

You could try knitting.

[ I mean, it fills the time and sharp objects are involved. ]

Should I? Somehow that doesn't sound as satisfying.
