It was supposed to be a rare evening out. Quite literally sneaking away from a government installation just to take in an evening of culture. Because Steve Rogers continued to surprise her, just as he had from the moment she'd met him. It turned out he had a bit of an ear.

At the very least, an ear for some of the same things she enjoyed. And since the experiment that had created her new self, and his recovery, they hadn't managed to get away at all - so quite frankly she would have taken him up on an evening of finger painting.

But a night of Beethoven, a late meal to follow? That was pure heaven.

And yet, fate took its time to intervene. The elevator they were taking up to street level had been stranded, halfway up, for the past half an hour now.

She stood, coat folded over her arm, fidgeting. It'd been silent for the past...however many minutes, since a voice had shouted down that they were waiting for maintenance personnel. 'About an hour, maybe two.'

She couldn't pretend not to be disappointed, more than a little disgruntled. But she kept reminding herself it wasn't all bad; the company was...well, it was Steven, wasn't it? It occurred to her that they hadn't really had time for a conversation of any length in a very long while. At least, that wasn't about the war.

And, so, she ventured a first step in a dance:

"I think the phrase is 'your tax dollars at work.' Is that right?"

"I'm not getting called a Bolshie over one elevator," she said, "but still...shoddy work."

She dipped her head though, turning slightly to look at him from just beyond the edge of her air.

"Still, could be in here alone. Company's rather nice."

"There'll be other nights," she promises. She turns a bit, looking around.

"Well. I'm tired of standing. Shall we at least make ourselves a bit comfortable?"

She lowered herself down, offering a hand for 'help' in doing so, though she didn't really need it. And, quite possibly, making sure that her skirt rode up just a little further past the knee than it needed to.

Once down she folded her own coat next to her, and patted it, the indication clear that he should join her.

"Thank you," she said.

It was, because she was...well, feeling the waters. She'd liked him before the procedure - good heavens, had she ever - but now was...different. She was confident in who she was, confident in her abilities - but the physical change was new, and people looked at her differently, now. There was nobody on Earth that wouldn't get to, at least a little bit.

She was mostly sure he'd been at least somewhat attracted to her before, but now...well, now it was all figuring things out again.

"Moonlight Sonata," she said with a sigh as he eased into place. "I've always preferred his smaller violin pieces, and the piano pieces. You?"

She'd gotten a lot of the other stuff, too: people being intimidated by her strength, her newfound position, and trying to shame her over it. She'd never, ever expect that from Steve, of course - but it got her on edge, occasionally.

"Mmm, the classic of the classics?" she replied, with a smile. "But you've excellent taste. I'm going to guess you grew up with music."

Oh, dear, what a story. Every time he told him something about her life, she felt a little tug at her heart strings.

"Mum did something similar," she replied, "we had a little piano, and she'd get the sheet music and we'd learn it together."

She leaned against him, just a little bit, then.

"Don't tell me you sing, too," she added, with a smile.

She giggled a little bit at that.

"Well?" she prompted. "Are you going to prove him wrong, or...?"

Said with a bit of a challenging tone.

And she listened, entranced. Oh, it wasn't the quality - good though it was - it was that it was him. He couldn't know it was one of her favourites. That she had the Cole Porter version on a record, back home. But there it was. Him all over, just being...perfect.

She settled in against him as he sung, making up her mind as he reached the conclusion. Her hand slid along his, fingers atop his own.

"Steve?" she asked, blushing fiercely. "I really would like it if you kissed me right now."

A man like that, a song like that, a moment you might not get again? Take the damned leap, woman.

She'd never really seen him as anything lesser - he was a man with a lion heart, a sense of right and wrong that was strong beyond belief. He'd struck her like a thunderbolt with that - never coming onto her like a piece of meat, like some of the other men did.

No, he was her hero, the man who should have the strength she did. Her job was to live up to the honour and integrity be brought to every single day.

And the kiss was precisely what she had wanted, in in the moment. Gentle, warm - him to a tee. She reached up a hand, caressing his cheek.

"Sorry," she said, with a smile and a lowered voice, "just after that song..."

She smiled a little, laughing quietly, eyes dropping for a second as she shook her head.

"You know that's not the only reason I kissed you. Right?"

Asked with her eyes flicking back up to his.

"Which I am very interested in hearing," she replied.

Then there was a slight pause.

"After."

She grinned, reddening with each word.

"Oh, so you're that sort of man. The man who wants to relentlessly tease a poor, defenceless woman while all she wants is to be just besotted by your kisses."

She shifted closer nevertheless.

"You...lion-hearted," she returned the favour, kissing his cheek, "handsome," one to the corner of his mouth, "clever and wonderful man."

This last one came to his lips, and with a considerable amount of the pent-up feelings she'd had for him since...since so very early on.

stand tall, soldier

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
