Going Home
Today was a good day. Steve was finally getting out of the hospital and they'd have a few days together over the long holiday weekend. Provided of course that nothing went to hell in Boston and she'd have to go back and help the Thunderbolts deal with the disaster. Here was to hoping.

There was a bounce to her step as she made her way to his room. She carried a bag that contained some clothes for him and a pair of shoes. He didn't need to be going home in his skivvies. Though she definitely liked seeing him in his skivvies, or better yet nothing at all.

She opened the door a crack and poked her head inside.

	Well, color him surprised. He'd known, in his heart of hearts, that they would, but he hadn't expected the topic to come up this way. He'd had a semi-romantic ring-arrow design worked out already. He squeezed her hand back. "Absolutely." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya smiled. "You can formally ask me when we're ready. I just wanted to ask you now because I don't want to lose you. Ever." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You won't, Gorgeous. That's a promise." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm going to hold you to that promise. Now eat. You need your strength to finish your recovery. Not to mention that if I don't get you home soon, your parents may send out a search party for us." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve happily took another bite of his burger, followed by a drink of soda. "That would be bad," he reflected. "Worried them enough as it is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yes, yes it would be bad. I would have to hear how bad of an influence a Stark is," she said with a grin. She was kidding of course. Anya finished off the last bite of her burger and drank the last of her beer. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve chuckled at that. "Nah, they like you. Though I had to spend about ten minutes convincing Dad I wasn't kidding back when I told him we were dating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh I know. I had to do the same with my dad," Anya said with a chuckle. She pulled out her wallet and threw some bills down on the table. There was enough to cover the bill and a generous tip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Then he started rambling on about his "Hawkeye senses" and how they'd been tingling lately and Mom just rolled her eyes and reminded him he didn't have those. Kind of funny and embarrassing at the same time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's anyastark 2010-07-09 02:17 am UTC (link)
	Anya laughed as she stood up and offered him a hand. "It's cute. Better than what my parents tease each other about and argue playfully about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's swashbuckler 2010-07-09 02:33 am UTC (link)
	Steve took her hand and got himself to his feet, wincing just a little bit. Dammit. It was going to take him forever to get back into fighting form. "According to Dad, it's a parent's job to embarrass kids with stuff like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's anyastark 2010-07-09 02:49 am UTC (link)
	She hooked an arm with his. It allowed her to be close to him and it would give him more support. "Better than my parents. My Dad shows videos of me running around in a homemade Iron Man suit. Talk about embarrassing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's swashbuckler 2010-07-09 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Steve did lean on her just a little. But not much. Because he was clearly capable of walking himself. "Aw, I bet you were adorable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's anyastark 2010-07-09 02:58 am UTC (link)
	Anya could feel her cheeks turning red. "I'm sure Daddy will show them to you at some point." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's swashbuckler 2010-07-09 03:03 am UTC (link)
	He smiled and kissed her. "I promise not to laugh. But only if you promise not to laugh at the pictures Mom will bring out of a young me pretending to be Uncle Steve." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's anyastark 2010-07-09 03:06 am UTC (link)
	She returned the kiss. "Deal." She looked him in the eye and put a hand on his cheek. "I love you, Mr. Barton, with all of my heart. I always will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's swashbuckler 2010-07-09 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	"And I love you, Ms. Stark," he said in return. "Now and always." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's anyastark 2010-07-10 04:19 am UTC (link)
	Anya smiled. "Come. Let's get you home. I don't want to explain to your parents where we've been." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's swashbuckler 2010-07-10 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, you mean I won't get to see the famous creative truth bending skills of Anya Stark at work? Now I'm depressed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey now, I came by them honestly. I inherited them." Anya grinned at him. "I have had a lot of practice. I'll never forget the time Toni and I got caught sneaking back into Avengers Mansion after curfew. I think we blamed it on Stilt-Man or some other lame villain." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's swashbuckler 2010-07-11 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	"And did they buy it?" he asked. "If so, I am impressed." What has it he always said? Oh, yeah. Life (even after getting shot), life was pretty dang good. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Re: At Big Nick's anyastark 2010-07-12 03:29 am UTC (link)
	"Not really, but they were amused. Dad gave me points for creativity." Anya smiled. Life was definitely good. (Reply to this)(Parent)
