“I miss her too. And I’d really like that.” Steve says relief clear on his face. “Anytime you want me to I’ll be there.” He says. “Do...do you want to sit down and join me? There’s more fries than I clean eat here.” They both know that it’s not...but he doesn’t think it will hurt too much to ask. Len just asked him out and even if he doesn’t join him tonight then at least the prospect of a future meal together is there.
Leonard holds up his hand, he's already stolen a fry. "I can stay for a while." He can't commit to staying for long, this is the first time they've spoken in a long time and he'll stay as long as he can handle it.
Steve takes a bite of the burger and wipes his mouth with a napkin. It’s delicious...just how he likes it. “This is perfect. Thanks.” He says happily. “And yeah. Noon is great. I can meet you there.”
Of course it's perfect. Leonard is a stickler for details in all things, and he looks pleased that he got everything right for Steve.
"We'll meet you there."
A direction to a runner is quietly given. The young man double-takes but gives a gulp and a nod. He returns in a few moments with a folder that Leonard pushes towards Steve.
He'd hand it to him but he.. isn't ready for contact. Not yet. Inside are a host of papers covered with finger paint and little palm prints. "Helen and Grace have been busy."
Steve doesn't move to take the folder until Len's hands are away. He can tell the other man isn't ready for touch by the simple fact he's well out of arms reach in general. He slides the folder closer and opens it revealing the little girls finger paintings. His heart melts...little palm prints and smears of bright colors. They're perfect.
"So I see. I'm glad they're enjoying them." He doesn't get to see the girls all that often. He hasn't seen Helen but once or twice when he walked to Micks to see Bucky for a few minutes. Bucky's been spending more time there as Steve has become less of a hermit and self destructive...though it's easier to not sleep when Bucky's not around to remind him to rest. "Little budding artists indeed."
