PROOF READ
2014 Road to New Jersey
The three sat in a truck Steve driving, Natasha in the passenger seat and Theo in the centre seat, at the back, the latter looked into the the rear mirror catching Nat's eye, before the redhead leaned forward, "where did Captain America learn to steal a car?".
The soldier glances at her, "Nazi Germany", he looks to her feet on the dashboard "and we're borrowing. Take your feet off the dash", he swipes the dirt off the dash.
Theo now leans forwards, "Ok. I've got a questions for you sugar, which you do not have to answer" he begins to smirk, lined by Natasha who hears the teasing tone of his voice, Steve however glances to the younger man, confused where this is going, "but I feel like if you don't answer it, you're kind of answering it anyway-"
"Go on"
"-Was that your first kiss since 1945?", the two spies look to the oldest man there.
Steve hides a smile, "wow, that bad huh-", Theo interrupts.
"That's not what I'm saying, Steve"
"Well I kind sounds like that's what your saying"
Natasha now joins in, "no, no. We just wondered how much practice you've had", Steve now inputs his opinion.
"You don't need practice"
Theo however shoots him down "we all need practice"
Natasha shoots her friend a look, "you've had plenty", he rolls his eyes in return, he goes to say something witty, but is stopped by Steve.
"No. It was not my first kiss since 1945", Theo gasps with mock horror, "I'm 95, I'm not dead".
"Well sugar, I've got to say, I'm a little jealous. Who was this woman? or man?"
Steve turns to the man, "it was a woman Teddy. You are the first man I've kissed. Ever", Theo smirks, proud of this; Natasha however has other questions.
"Nobody special, though?"
Steve looks to the redhead first, then at the younger male, "believe it or not, it's kinda hard to find someone with shared life experience".
Natasha replies, "well that's alright. You just make something up".
"What, like you two?"
She shifts in her seat "I don't know"
Theo drops his head to Steves shoulder, speaking into his ear "the truth is a matter of circumstance", the hairs on Steves neck raise, and he resists a shiver, "it's not all things, to all people, all of the time. And neither am I", the truck slows to a stop at a red light and Steve turns his head, his nose brushing Theos, his ocean eyes look into dark coal, the sun reflecting of them like dying embers.
"That's a tough way to live Ted"
Teddy begins to lean back, "yeah. But it's a good way not to die", Natasha watched the scene, feeling Theos words take place with her heart, understanding how hard it is to live this life. The life of a spy. A killer.
"You know. It's kind hard to trust someone, when you don't really now who that someone really is", he looks to the black widow.
"And who do you want us to be?"
"How about friends?"
The woman smirks, "well, there's a chance you might be in the wrong business, Rogers", Theo also has a smirk on his face, looking at Steve, who also looks back to the Korean man a smile on his face, but sympathy in his eyes for the two agents who were trained to lie and kill.
