I had to be sure.

[the crash and bail plan probably would have worked, but there was only one way where steve wouldn't have any doubts of doing everything that he could. he had to stick with it until the very last second.]

I haven't told a lot of people this, but I'm not a huge fan of the ocean now.

[advanced]

[He doesn't really get why the idea of Steve throwing his life away makes him so damn angry, but it does. He doesn't shout at him, but his glower does get more intense for a while.]

Good, maybe you won't do something so stupid again.

[starspangled]

I can't make any promises about that, but I'll try not to.

[it's a joke. sort of. but steve's getting a headache himself from how tight bucky's forehead looks.]

Where are you staying?

[advanced]

[He does not appreciate that joke. He's going to have to do something to make sure that Steve has a way to defend himself.]

Nowhere.

[At least he can answer that honestly.]

They assigned me a bed, I gave it to someone else.

[starspangled]

I don't sleep in mine much either.

[when steve does sleep, it's more likely to be in some common room or sitting at the kitchen counter.]

I'm thinking about having a slice of that pie. [steve tips his head in the direction of the counter.] Care to join me?

[advanced]

Sure. You get it, I need to head to the bathroom.

[He doesn't, he's going to go out of the window and slip away. He's got a few answers and spent as much social time as he thinks he can handle with Steve for now, and he needs to leave in a way that means he can't be followed.]

[it's not a terribly unusual request - maybe he wants to wash up. steve gives him a bit of a smile as he slides from the booth, back firmly turned to bucky as he orders the pie.

he returns with just one slice. steve stares idly out the window as he eats and then places payment on the table. all in all, it hasn't been a bad night. it's a start, and that's all he said he would ask for.]
