...Oh. Huh. Steve's mind blanked for a few seconds, completely thrown for a loop at her willingness, and apparent want, to get to know him better. He had to keep reminding himself that Marie wasn't just another girl he'd met, or set up on a date, but his soulmate. It made things different.
"Oh...I mean, no! No, I don't really... actually..." Steve chewed on his bottom lip, glancing over at her. "So, I just had a thought. And, feel free to say no, I'll completely understand... but, umm... would you wanna go back to my place? Not!" He interrupted himself almost right away, realizing, slightly too late, how that would sound. "Not like--that! It's just, my-- my other soulmate," he reached up to rub at his eyebrow in an unconscious awkward motion, "Bucky, he lives upstairs. I-- he's..."
Steve sighed. "Honestly? He's a lot better at talkin' ta people. I'm good at listening and remembering, but not so much with the polite banter. In case you hadn't caught that yet," he added deprecatingly.
