Again // The Winter Soldier

six.

The group now sat in a truck as they made their short field trip to Wheaton, New Jersey. Steve could barely concentrate on the road as the kiss kept replaying in his head. Carmen on the other hand was just trying to avoid eye contact while they continued down the street. Natasha saw this and watched with a smirk as she sat in the back seat with her legs rested upon the center console in between the two. Natasha spotted the Welcome to New Jersey sign and decided it was the perfect time to break the ice.

"Where did Captain America learn how to steal a car?" both 90 year olds turned their heads to the sound of her voice and Natasha had to hold back from laughing at how similar the two were.

"Nazi Germany" Natasha hmm'd at his response and he glanced at her feet. "And we're borrowing. Get your feet down"

Natasha gave him a somber look as she pulled each foot down slowly but Steve didn't care to notice as he wiped at his lip again as he recalled the memory of Carmen's lips on his. "Alright I have a question for you two, which you do not have to answer. I feel like if you don't answer it though you're kind of answering it, you know?"

"What?" Carmen stopped her rambling. Steve lightly smiled her way as he heard her voice. Natasha leaned herself forward inbetween the two seats as she prepared to reply.

"Was that your guys first kiss since 1945?" both of them snapped their heads towards each other at Natasha's blunt words. Both searched frantically for an answer and tumbled over words but Natasha just smirked and leaned back in her seat. "Man with all that sexual tension between you two and how much Cap here keeps touching his lips I would've thought it happened back during the Battle of New York"

"Natasha!" Carmen hissed and the red head just rolled her eyes before leaning up again.

"New question, but just for the Director" Carmen raised her eyebrows awaiting the inevitability of her next words. "Was he a good kisser?"

"Nat cmon-"

"That bad huh?" both girls looked at Steve and Carmen furrowed her eyebrows.

"I didn't say that" she said and Steve couldn't help the thoughts of her kissing other guys slip into his mind. There had to be more than just one person over 70 years.

"Well it kind of sounds like that's what your saying?" Nat leaned back, excited to see what this window into their relationship would be like.

"Steven" he clenched the steering wheel at the plea that fell off her lips.

"Don't lie, I'm sure plenty of guys have had the opportunity of kissing you these past years, especially ones that are a lot better than me" Natasha watched as Carmen lifted her arm up and grabbed Steve's free hand. Steve tried to keep his annoyed demeanor but it was hard with her touching him.

"Yeah there's been other guys, but none of them make me feel the way I do when I'm with you" Steve couldn't help the smile break out across his face and Carmen noticed this. Slowly he lifted their hands to his mouth and pressed a small kiss to the back of her hand. Yet Natasha couldn't watch the sweet moment any longer.

"My next question is for the Captain" Steve rolled his eyes as her head snapped back up front and she prepared herself for her next question. "Was that your first kiss since you woke up?"

Carmen turned her head at this, taking to much interest in the question at hand. Yes Carmen had kissed many men over the years but she thought Steve was dead. Steve had only been back for almost three and Carmen didn't really want to think about him kissing other girls. "Did it even look bad?"
