It's how we get to know each other better. Share some stories and just be together for a bit.
It's also just fun. Couple-y fun. Buck and I went on dates all the time but...not really good ones. This'll be different.

[ his expression flickers. would he be able to do that? would anyone want to be near him once they get to know him better? it sounds like a disaster. ]
Why would it be different?
Why would it be different?
Because hopefully you'd actually wanna be there with me. My other dates were all set up. But you?
[Steve kisses Loki's cheek tenderly.]
Might actually like me. Very different.
[Steve kisses Loki's cheek tenderly.]
Might actually like me. Very different.
[ a slow smile appears, faint but pleased. ]
I should hope so.
I should hope so.
[He grins.]
I really do love your smile...
[He proves it by kissing it nice and firm.]
I really do love your smile...
[He proves it by kissing it nice and firm.]
Yeah. Yeah, it always makes me feel like I won something.
[ loki runs his fingers down steve's cheek. ]
I do have the power to give anyone what they want. All they need to do is name it.

Then give me the ability for you to see yourself through my eyes.
[He takes Loki's hand and kisses his palm before just holding it.]
That would be enough.
[He takes Loki's hand and kisses his palm before just holding it.]
That would be enough.
[ his ears flush slightly. ]
You're better at this than I thought.
You're better at this than I thought.
[That gets a smile out of Steve.]
Yeah. Me either, I guess. But I'm not saying anything that isn't true.

[ loki hums, brushing his fingers against steve's cheeks. ]
What do you think I would see, looking into your eyes, Steve Rogers?
What do you think I would see, looking into your eyes, Steve Rogers?
A good man.
[Steve turns his face into the touch, starved for affection like this.]
A kind man. One who's honest and maybe a little overly blunt, but... One who has a good heart inside.

[ loki smiles, his eyes bright. he continues to run his fingers down steve's cheeks, soothing. ]
No one has ever said such things about me. I couldn't even dream about it.

[Steve's eyes shut, just enjoying someone so close and so gentle. It does more for him than the making out from before to cement the idea that they were now in a relationship. A real one.]
I'll make it a habit, then.
I'll make it a habit, then.
As you should.
[ loki kisses the corner of steve's lips with a smile. ]
[ loki kisses the corner of steve's lips with a smile. ]
[Steve turns and steals a small kiss.]
You got it, sweetheart.
[He flinches a little, not sure how the petname would land.]
Er. Or, Lok. Whatever you prefer...
You got it, sweetheart.
[He flinches a little, not sure how the petname would land.]

[ loki raises his eyebrows. ]
"Sweetheart"?
"Sweetheart"?
[Shit.]
It...where I was from, we had...you know. Names you'd call people you were with. Sweetheart, baby, honey, sugar... I mean. Most of them were for girls but...
[He shrugs.]
I can stick with your name only.

Mmm. I think I merit something nicer than a sweetened heart.
[ are mortal pet names so banal? loki's expression twists before it settles on something more contemplative. he strokes steve's neck with a hum, tilting his head up at him, dark hair falling over his shoulders. ]
Be my shield.
Be my shield.
[The air is pulled from his lungs. How does Loki manage that with three words?
He answers with a deep kiss, one hand stroking against Loki's cheek, tracing his cheekbone. He barely pulls back, blue eyes darkened but warm with affection.]
And you? My prince?
