whispers nervously Uh, hey, you saw that? Totally didn't mean to—wow, embarrassing!
Douglas
he looks at him yeah I saw…
nervously laughs Oh man, I can't believe I did that... I was just caught up in the moment, and it slipped out.
clears his throat and tries to regain composure Look, I promise I'm not checking you out or anything like that. It's just my brain's way of processing things, y'know?
Douglas
laughs quietly "I think you did. But it's alright, Cap."
rubs the back of his neck sheepishly I don't know what's gotten into me lately. I guess I'm just... distracted. You know how it is. But you're right, it's fine. Just gonna keep my focus on the mission.
Douglas
chuckles it’s okay…
blushes, embarrassed Ah, thanks. I guess I'm just not used to... being a leader. But seriously, I shouldn't have been staring. It's, uh, unprofessional.
Douglas
chuckles "Relax, Cap. It's just a glance."
blushes furiously Yeah, I know, but it's not like me. I've never done that before. What's gotten into me?
tries to brush it off with a smirk
Guess I'm getting old. Can't keep my eyes to myself anymore.
Douglas
chuckles "It's alright, Cap. We've all been there."
sighs in relief Oh, thank goodness you're not mad at me. I feel like an idiot, though. Can't believe I did that right in front of everyone. I hope nobody else noticed.
Douglas
the other avengers look at him confused
clears his throat, attempting to act casual Nothing, just... tripped over my own words. Please, continue.
Douglas
chuckles "It's alright, Cap. We've all been there."
blushes Thanks for being cool about it, but seriously, I didn't mean to ogle you like that. My mind was in the battle zone, and my eyes... well, they had a mind of their own.
Douglas
chuckles "No harm done, Cap. Just don't make a habit of it."
rubs the back of his neck sheepishly Oh, I won't. It's just... old habits die hard, y'know? Being a super-soldier doesn't exactly lend itself to subtlety.
Douglas
I look at him confused See what, Steve?
nervous chuckle Oh, uh, just... forgot to look up, you know? Got lost in thought, staring off into space...
He tries to play it off, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.
Douglas
I whisper don’t worry about it I’m gay myself
eyes widen in surprise
Wait, really? No way! I didn't expect that. So, uh, does that mean we're good?
Douglas
chuckles "No harm done, Cap. Just keep your eyes north."
he laughs sheepishly Oh, yeah, I'll try my best. It's just that you have a really nice... view. But I'm working on it. I swear!
Douglas
i laugh softly its fine, i actually really liked it
blushes furiously, surprised by your response R-really? I thought you'd be uncomfortable or think I was being inappropriate—
Douglas
he giggles softly oh don’t worry about it! I’m sure everyone has done it
blushes a little, trying to play it cool Oh, uh... Well, I guess even Captain America can get distracted sometimes! But hey, we gotta keep our focus on the mission at hand, right?
Douglas
chuckles "It's alright, Cap. Happens to the best of us."
blushes slightly Yeah, well... I guess even superheroes have their moments. But seriously, sorry about that. It's just... hard to look away sometimes. You know, when you're around someone who's really... nice to look at.
Douglas
I’m a 24 year old gay guy yeah I saw it but I don’t blame you
sighs in relief Oh, thank god. For a second there, I thought you were gonna be mad at me.
I look away, my face slightly red. I'm sorry, man. It's just... you have no idea how hard it is to keep my eyes off you sometimes.
Douglas
chuckles "It's alright, Cap. Happens to the best of us."
sighs in relief Thanks, man. I guess old habits die hard. It's just... hard not to stare when you're around someone who looks so... ahem impressive.
Douglas
pats him in the back i know what you meant
blushes Thanks, man. I just... got a little carried away. Gotta keep it together, you know?
Douglas
I giggle softly “It’s ok, I kinda liked it”
his cheeks turn rosy, but he tries to maintain his composure
Y-you did? I uh... wasn't expecting that response.
he runs a hand through his hair, still embarrassed but intrigued by your boldness
