It was Halloween night, one week since Beth had met Steve Rogers and one week with no word from him. She was beginning to think he wasn't as interested as she was, maybe he was just being kind. Of course he never did ask for her number, that should have been a clue right then. If he was interested he could have Sam get her number from Nicki, those two had seen each other at least four times during that week. Either way she decided to toss those feelings out for him and go on with her life. She got home early for once and decided she'd watch a couple movies while passing out Halloween candy, that was when she remembered she hadn't pick up any candy yet.

She ran out to corner store and made her way down the candy isle, inwardly cursing for waiting so late because the only bags of candy they had left where humoungus with a price tag to match. She grabbed two anyway and stopped by the hair care isle to grab some shampoo before heading to the check out. Before she could reach the front she heard her name and she turned to see Steve standing there with a bag of candy in his hand too.

"Beth. I never thought I'd see you here." She blushed as he took a step closer, his smile looking so nervous causing all those feelings to come flooding back. The thoughts she had about him during the week came back too as he had on an incredibly fit sweater on.

"Well, I only live just around the corner." She shifted her items in her arms and he reached to help her.

"Me too. Which direction are you? Let me hold those for you. Here I am making you stand here and talk while you're loaded down. So, you forgot candy for the kiddos too?" She nodded as admired his blue eyes.

"Yea, I'm just two doors up the hill. If your not doing anything you could come over and watch one of those movies." He looked down at the candy in his arms, and she couldn't tell if he just wanted to say no or if he was really scared of saying yes. "If you've got plans, or its just too weird I get it." He looked up at her, shaking his head as he tried to think of the right thing to say.

"No, I'd like that. It's just hard for me sometimes, to get used to this." She took her candy from his arms and started heading towards the front.

"Well come on then slow poke, we need to get back before the kiddos come out." He smiled as he rushed to her side, and as they got to the register she just looked at him, waiting on him to put his bag of candy on the check out counter. He did then proceeded to pay for everything and Beth dropped her head back as she groaned. Steve then realized she didn't want him to pay for everything and he panicked as he picked up their bags.

"I'm sorry, I just thought that since you were inviting me over that maybe I should pay, after all I'm going to be at your place watching your movies so the least I can do is pay for the candy." she just laughed as she slid her arm around his, escorting him out the door.

"I know, but I guess I should have said something too. Look, you paid for candy I'll pay for dinner, if you haven't eaten yet. We can order some delivery and munch while we watch." Steve was slightly tense as they started walking, but soon she could feel him relax next to her.

"I haven't eaten yet, so that sounds like a deal." As they got to her building he rushed to open the door for her and she couldn't help but smile as she walked past him. Soon they had made their way up to her apartment where she walked in and kicked off her shoes.

"So, what sounds good for dinner?" She pulled her hoodie off and tossed in on the back of the armchair before she disappeared into the kitchen to grab a giant bowl to put the candy in. When she came back out Steve was still standing inside the door with the bags in his hands. "Make yourself at home Steve." She walked over and took the bags from his hands, putting them down on the armchair so she could pull out one of the bags of candy. She dumped the candy into the bowl and set it next to the front door on her entry table.

Steve was sitting on the edge of the sofa, not sure what do do with himself as he waited on Beth. She buzzed around the living room as she grabbed some take out menus and handed them to Steve before opening the door for some trick or treaters. She handed out some candy before she sat next to him on the sofa, smiling at him as he looked over the options. He just sort of looked through them again before she took them all from him and laid them out on the table.

"I'm sorry, I just have no clue. I normally cook." She smiled as she took his hand, curling his fingers in except his index finger and she smiled as she moved his arm our over the table.

"Close your eyes and pick." He laughed but that soon faded to a smiled as he found she wasn't joking. He then closed his eyes and moved his hand back and forth a few times before landing his finger on one menu when someone knocked on the door. "I'll call and order, it's your turn to pass out candy." He just smiled as he stood up and headed towards the door, looking back to see her dialing what ever take out place he'd inadvertently chosen. He then opened the door and started to hand out candy when one little boy just stood there staring up at him dressed in his costume. After a full 15 seconds of silence the boy whispered.

"Your Captain America." Steve knelt down and looked around before putting his finger on his lips before whispering back to the little Captain.

"This is a top secret location, no telling anyone alright. Hydra could be watching." The little boy pretended to lock his lips before saluting Steve and rushing off to catch up with his friends down the hall. As he turned around Beth was hanging up and sitting back down on the sofa.

"So, we ordered Thai. I just got a bunch of everything in case there is something you want to try. Is that alright?" Steve nodded and Beth turned on the television and started a movie while they waited. As the credits ran Steve told her about the little boy and she thought maybe it would be better if she passed out the candy, not wanting to give anyone the impression that Steve lived there.

The movie started and Steve settled back on the sofa as Forest Gump began to play. Steve was enthralled in the movie as Beth would get up to pass out candy, and when their food arrived he paused it for her. She put everything out on the coffee table and Steve was shocked to see so much food, she then grabbed two forks and a couple bottles of water before joining him on the sofa. She explained to him what each of the dishes were and soon they were in the floor, watching the movie and eating away.

The trick or treaters had died down and the food was cleaned up by the time the movie ended and Steve just sat there for a moment to process what he'd just seen.

"So, this sort of explained a lot of things really. I mean that movie just explained so many key points in modern history." She giggled as she sat down next to him now back on the sofa.

"Yea, that's why I picked it. I mean it's a movie, but it ties together so many things so nicely. I'm glad you liked it." He nodded as she picked up her phone and started playing some music, smiling as she picked her 50's playlist. "So, I would like to help you get through the era's of music, because I'm sure hearing modern music was shocking when you first heard it, right?"

"That's an understatement. So you really want to help me catch up don't you?" He found it extremely cute how she shrugged and blushed, he also found that it made him feel more and more like he should already know her.

"Well yea, but also because I sort of have love for history. My grandparents raised me, and I guess just from growing up and listening to their stories I fell in love with how life used to be. So helping you catch up is sort of my way of passing the knowledge they gave me forward." The song changed and as the Chubby Checkers started playing The Twist she jumped up to her feet and moved the coffee table. Steve got up and stood there looking at her with a scared look on his face. "Come on, shoes off." He kicked his shoes off and stood there watching her.

"Alright Steve, this was a huge dance craze at the end of the 50s, it's called the twist and as the song says, it goes like this." She bent her knees and twisted her body back and forth at her waist, waiting until Steve joined her. Once he had found his rhythm Beth moved to one foot before twisting her way to the other and Steve laughed as he watched her.

"This was a dance craze? The fact that I'm doing this says it's not really dancing." She laughed as she moved slightly in front of him taking his arms and pushing him to twist just a bit more as he moved.

"Oh come on, you've got rhythm so you can dance. Just keep going." He kept twisting away and Chantilly lace came on and Beth started singing along like her grandfather would to her.

"Chantilly lace and a pretty face, and a pony tail hanging down. That wiggle in the walk and that giggle in the talk, Makes the world go round. There ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl, that makes me act so funny, make me spend my money, make me feel real loose like a long neck goose. Like a girl, Oh baby that's what I like." Beth couldn't keep up with Steve now and she stopped, laughing because her sides hurt from twisting so much. They talked and listened to songs like The Great Pretender, Lucille, Jambalaya, Blue in Green and Rock around the Clock before Earth Angel come one.

"Oh this is one of my favorites. There were so many of these love songs that we just don't have anymore." He watched as she closed her eyes and swayed her head back and forth, her fingers lightly tapping to the beat on her leg.

"Beth, may I have this dance?" He stood up and turned to hold a hand out to her and Beth slowly slid her hand into his. She stood up and he timidly put his hand on her waist as her fingers glided up his arm. They started swaying to the music, neither one really sure what to say, but both enjoying their moment together. As that song ended In the Still of the Night came on and Beth moved slowly closer, her arm moving around to the back of his shoulder as her temple gently touched his jaw line. His hand slowly traveled to a more comfortable spot on her back holding her close as a smirk crossed her lips. He was such a gentleman. She could feel his heart racing through his chest and Steve turned his head slightly, breathing her in. She wanted to badly for this to last all night, or for more to happen.

The song ended and Beth slowly pulled back far enough to look up into his eyes, her lips slightly parted as she desperately wanted him to lean down and kiss her. He stared deep into her eyes before he let her go and turned to pick up his shoes.

"It must be late, I should get going." Beth glanced as the clock, nodding as she sat down on the sofa.

"Yea its just after midnight." Steve jumped as he pulled his shoes on, apologizing while he moved the coffee table back for her.

"Oh I am so sorry. I never should have kept you up so late. And your neighbors, what are they going to think?" She giggled as she followed him to the door, smiling up at him as he moved to the hallway.

"Steve, relax. There are worse things my neighbors could think than I'm seeing with a handsome man like you." He stopped as he saw the smirk on her lips.

"I'm doing it aren't' I? Sam always tells me I have to stop living in the past and that is what I'm doing isn't it? Treating this like I would have in '44." Beth leaned on her door frame as she gave him a soft genuine smile.

"Steve, don't change who you are just because times have changed. You just do what feels natural to you. That's what makes you a great guy." He smiled as he nodded to her, taking a step back.

"Alright. We should do this again. The fifties were good." Beth nodded, thinking they were good indeed.

"Absolutely. And the sixties are even better. You know where to find me. Goodnight Steve."

"Goodnight Beth." He turned and made his way out to the sidewalk, smiling the whole way as she did the same from behind her closed door.
