A Bit More...Special

There is no doubt about it. He is nervous. He could sense adrenaline rushing through his body. He could feel little beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He could hear his own heartbeat in his ears. Different scenarios play themselves out in his mind. Each one of them turned out to fail in the end.

Steve takes a deep breath then slowly exhales away some of his anxiety. His starts to gain back some of his courage that he had been naturally born with.

"Come on, Steve. It isn't like I'm going to fight an army. No reason to be nervous."

His words of self-encouragement seem to zap away all of the stress from his body. Standing right outside Angela's room, he knocks on the door three times.

"Just a minute," Angela calls out from the other side of the door.

All of Steve's courage vanishes instantly hearing Angela's voice. His mind becomes cluttered with all of the scenarios he had calculated mere moments ago.

Why am I so nervous? I've never been so worried about talking to Angela before. Then again, this isn't like all of those other times I've talked to her.

Angela opens the door and greets Steve with a gentle smirk. "Hey Steve. What's up?"

Okay. You've got this. Just don't panic.

"Nothing much, which is why I came here."

Alright. Got the first part out of the way.

"Are you busy? If you are, I can come back later."

What are you doing?! You're backpedaling on yourself!

Angela steps out of the room, shutting the door behind her. "I'm not busy. In fact, I'm bored. Very, very bored. What is it you have in mind, Steve?"

You've got this, Steve. Just remain calm.

"I've been thinking lately, about how you are from a galaxy far, far away. That got me thinking about how you're a Jedi and how you and Luke Skywalker are friends."

You're taking too long! Get to the point before Angela loses interest.

Steve shows Angela the box set of Blu-ray discs in his hands. "Even though I have watched these Star Wars movies before, I didn't really understand them."

Just say it already!

"I was wondering if you could watch these with me and answer any questions I had about them?"

Angela remains quiet for a few seconds, giving him a quizzical stare into his baby blue eyes. This makes his mind go right back into panic mode.

Why is she looking at me like that? What did I say wrong?

"You're nervous, Steve. Why are you so nervous?"

"Nervous?" Steve tries to jokingly smile but ends of giving Angela a weak attempt of a grin. "Wh-why would I be nervous? You didn't read my thoughts through the Force, did you?"

"Steve, you know me better than that. I don't go around and read my friends' personal thoughts." The Jedi smiles at his attempt to hide his anxiety. "I can tell you're nervous because your pupils are dilated, your breathing is shallow, and your forehead is glistening in sweat." A thought strikes Angela. "This is more than just us watching some movies so that I can explain them, is it?"

He had been found out. It wasn't that he was trying to hide his intentions. It was that he had been worried that if he had told Angela it was a date she would have reacted negatively and their friendship they already had couldn't be the same anymore.

"Yeah. I had intended to say that it was a 'stay-in date' that was just us watching these movies together."

"Why didn't you just say it was a date then?"

"I guess I was afraid that you would find it awkward and that it would ruin the friendship we already have."

The sentence makes Angela feel that Steve cares for her differently than the rest of the team, and she loves the new feeling.

"Well," she reaches out and takes up Steve's right hands, gently gripping it with hers. "I think that saying it's a date enhances our friendship to something a bit more...special."

Angela leads Steve to the main room on her floor, both of them hand-in-hand.

"Come on, Captain. We have some Star Wars movies to watch."

BONUS SCENE:

On another floor of Avengers Tower, Tony starts contemplating on what to do, while chewing out his boredom on a pencil. He decides to throw a spur-of-the-moment party.

"Hey Jarvis, where's everyone at?"

"As you well know, Thor is currently in New Mexico. Trent is taking a walk through Central Park, Doctor Banner is working on a theory in the lab; and Steve and Angela are watching some movies together on her floor."

Tony's pencil chewing immediately stops. "I knew those two had a thing."

"What was that, Sir?"

"Nothing, Jarvis. Just making comments to myself." Tony throws the gnawed pencil onto the table in front of him.

"I guess I'll have a party for two with me and my collection of video games." The genius strolls off to continue his adventures with the treasure hunter, Nathan Drake and with the Hero of Twilight, Link.
