Take Me Out to the Ballgame
Since the trip to Tahiti Anya had been searching for something that Steve and she could do together for their first adventure in doing something together. There were a few charity events she had on her schedule for the Maria Stark Foundation and one for the Russian embassy, but she didn't want the first time out with Steve to be at a formal function. She knew he wouldn't be comfortable in a tux in a room full of rich people.

Then she remembered the Yankees were playing tonight against the Texas Rangers. It would be a perfect first...date? Was it a date? She wasn't sure what to call it. Semantics aside, it would be something the both of them could enjoy doing together and the family always had tickets.

She made some phone calls earlier to make the arrangements. When they weren't using the box, tickets were given out to Stark Inc employees to use. Anya didn't care if others were there, she just wanted to make sure there would be two seats for her and Steve. She also arranged for a car and driver.

There was a smile on her face as she went to look for Steve.

	Steve could currently be found in the training room, plugging away with a standard bow and arrow set. While his preference was for his bowgun, he was equally at home with a composite or longbow. Bullseye, bullseye, bullseye, bullseye. Double bullseye. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Anya quietly slipped into the room and came up behind him. Mom did teach her how to be stealthy after all. She waited until he was just about to fire his next shot when she leaned forward and whispered into his ear. "But can you hit the target with a distraction?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yipe! The shot goes wildly off course, landing somewhere in the corner of the room. "I, ah, meant to do that," he said quickly, putting on a grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya chuckled. "Uh huh. Suuuuure you did." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Really!" he said. "Why would I lie?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Because maybe you don't want me to see that the great Steve Barton actually missed a shot?" she teased. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, ah... it's like this... you see, the thing is..." Steve babbled. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well at least it was a decent game," Anya said as the last out of the game was recorded. "We should have won." 'We' as in the Yankees. Anya wore a Yankees uniform shirt with the Stark name on the back and a Yankees ball cap. She was a die hard Yankees fan and always would be. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Steve had declined baseball wear, because as a die-hard Red Sox fan, he was half-surprised simply entering the stadium did not cause him to burst into flames. It had still been major league (heh. Major League. Get it?) cool to get to meet the players and all. "Yeah, well..." he said, "them's the breaks, I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-27 02:05 am UTC (link)
	"I guess. Can't win them all." She looked over at him. The chairs were so comfortable she didn't want to get up. "So, home or somewhere else?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Steve had totally used the yawn and stretch move to her his arm around Anya's shoulders earlier. Totally got that one from Dad, even after being told by Mom that it never works. "Somewhere else is good. Nice night and the company is beautiful." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-27 02:31 am UTC (link)
	She blushed and totally didn't mind the arm around her. "Flatterer. So the next question would be, what are you in the mood for?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2009-08-27 03:27 am UTC (link)
	He grinned. "You should know better than to feed me a line like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It was, in Steve's opinion, the perfect little hole in the wall out of the way place. The kind that served whole-pound greasy burgers, with melted cheese and artery clogging bacon, long with fries salty enough to make your heart skip and milkshakes as thick as could be. "See?" he said between bites of burger. "What'd I tell you?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-28 01:49 am UTC (link)
	"Okay, I'll give you credit for this," she said and emphasized words with a fry she was holding. How did she miss this place before now? Her burger obsession was slipping. "This is definitely a very good burger." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2009-08-28 02:15 am UTC (link)
	"Toldja," he replied, before taking a sip of his milkshake. "Dad said this was one of his favorite places, back when he first joined the team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-28 02:22 am UTC (link)
	She grinned and took a big bite of her burger. Then she choked a little. The time period he mentioned was when his father and her mother were dating. Weirdness. Even more weird to think that their parents could have come here together. Um. Yeah. So weird. Very weird. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2009-08-28 02:26 am UTC (link)
	"You okay?" Steve asked, puzzled. It took his mental gears a little bit longer to catch up. "Oooooh." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-28 02:29 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Weird. They could have come here at some point." Anya sighed. Maybe this wasn't a good idea. She liked him well enough and thought he was incredibly hot, but could they get past the weirdness? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	swashbuckler 2009-08-29 04:07 am UTC (link)
	"Me too," Steve said. He leaned in close, brushed a hand along Anya's cheek, and kissed her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2009-08-29 04:10 am UTC (link)
	Anya wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You an angel?" Steve asked. "'cause you just took my breath away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Blink. Blink. Anya burst into a fit of laughter. "Do those lines actually work on girls?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You'd be surprised. But I figured you were too smart for that to work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
