Darcy Lewis and Anime 101

It had been a relatively new addition to Steve's list. "Anime" he had scribbled onto his well used notebook. Darcy peered over the notebook laying on the communal break room.

"You know if you need help," Darcy said smacking her lips, "I can help you because that's a pandora box worth of movies and television shows spanning decades of media"

"I googled," Steve gave a quick side eye, "yes Darc, I know what 'to Google' means."

"What?" Darcy said in a mock affronted gasp, "I've never given you a hard time about your grasp on day-to-day slang, that's all on Stark."

"Oh and that wasn't you who made a big deal about my use of party as a noun instead of a verb?"

"Hey all I did was go Noam Chomsky on you because I find the ever changing of the linguistic landscape fascinating. I didn't think you minded."

"I don't," Steve said with a smirk, "but don't think I don't see your looks when I break out my world war II era slang."

"Oh Steve," Darcy said smiling, "trust me when I say that when I hear your Brooklyn accent and old, old school slang I am most definitely not thinking about insulting that."

They both shared a pre-anything laugh. The kind of laugh that was heavy on the flirting, heavy on 'what-I'd-do-to-you', standing right on the cliff's edge before taking any kind of plunged clothed or unclothed. Before the atmosphere could get any thicker with tension, Darcy made to exit the breakroom.

"All right, let's start our tour of Anime's timeline curated by me, Tumblr, and F.R.I.D.A.Y. apparently Tony really loves creating algorithms that complies and calculates all the data on the net. But it doesn't take any of that to know we cannot begin anywhere without starting with Osamu Tezuka and working our way on to Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Oh and we are going to discuss their incredible soundtracks while we're at it."

Steve let Darcy lead the way as she rambled on about what they were going to watch enjoying how dedicated she was when she set her mind to it. It wasn't before long Sam, Tony and Nat joined them on the couch.

"You're going to show Attack on Titan, right?" Nat asked.

"Oh definitely but do you think I should lay on the Sailor Moon or Azumanga Daioh before going to that?"

"Yes," Nat said nodding before turning her attention back to Astro Boy with a sly flirtatious glance to Sam who returned with a devious smirk of his own. Darcy couldn't wait to show Steve more. She'd also have to turn Steve's attention to great British comedy, Fawlty Towers would be a great start.
