A sweater will take a while.
[ If she wants to. He doesn't mind: it's not like he's got something else to do around here, though he thinks he might just kip over to North and get her one instead. ]
Well, if you're so busy...

Why not start with a scarf in case it gets cold? Have you got purple and yellow yarn?
[She's joking slightly less, now, because she would love a purple and yellow scarf.]
Don't be like that, I think there's a can of peas here with your name on it.

[ Pensive, ] I don't get cold. [ more cheerily, ] I'll keep an eye out for ya.
[ Congrats he's now determined to find and/or make one for her. ]
Peas? Say it isn't so.

I've been looking for fabric and supplies, so I'll add yarn to my list.
[SHE WANTS ONE NOW OK]
I think I've got a can of spam lying around too. We could make pea and ham soup.

And we're both cute.
[It's a way to lighten the mood a little; she doesn't want him to worry that her opinion of him has changed or anything.]
Has Bucky got it too? That serum.

[Oops, she may as well have just run directly into a wall for all that question does. Steve's jaw shifts, a brief show of stubbornness.]
You'll have to ask him about that one.
[He's had so little privacy in his life these last few years, the last thing he wants is to compromise Bucky's. Even if he doesn't think he'd care. Stephanie already knows that neither of them are quite base-line human, but the circumstances of Bucky's exposure to the serum are intensely private.]

[He shakes his head and offers a slight smile.]
Don't apologize. You don't know me.
[Or what makes him tick, or any of that. It's not her fault if she pushes the wrong buttons, and he can't expect to hold her accountable for an accident. She's a good person, and that goes a long way.]
But that's what this is for, right?
[Casual conversation. So to speak.]

[Her smile in return is grateful, just for a moment, before it shifts into something a little cheeky.]
Sure, but for the record, I'm a lot better at first dates if they're actually dates.
[Stephanie why are you this way.]

[There's something in his smile that suggests there's a story there, but rather than push it, Steph just pours at him.]
Why is it always the cute ones?

So what you're saying is that I need to find an alternate universe that works opposite to that?
[yes that is exactly what he's saying]

I don't let honesty get in the way of a good joke.
[Jeez, Steve.]
[Jeez, Steve.]
[shrug]
I do think he's cute, though, but you don't need to worry about giving me the regular best friend threat.
[She knows how best friends work.]

The whole "if you break his heart I'll break your face" thing.
[doesn't everyone do that??????
She's pretty sure Saul got it from at least ten people.]

You past people are so weird. My boyfriend got death threats when we started dating.
[Steph that's bc he's almost old enough to be your dad]
