[Semi-Open] No one can blame you for walking away

who: Steve Rogers (616) and whoever wants to join him
what: Missing Loki and looking for distractions
when: backdated from June 6th to around June 15th
where: Around and about
warnings: Beware. There might be a feeling.



i. via the devices; text; closed to previous CR

[He makes it about a day before he starts getting restless. Not just because Loki is gone, but because he really doesn't have much to keep his mind off of the fact. Normally, he'd just bury himself in a mission or find other companionship, but for some reason that's just not appealing. So he tries to find other means of distraction. For those he knows hold odd hours, it might be well past dusk when he sends a message.]

Are you busy?

ii. OPEN; Well, that was the entire plan.

[He really should have come up with a better plan for filling his time. After spending days doing between work, the gym, and long runs around the Quarantine, even Steve is out of ideas for what to do with himself. He considers a trip out beyond the fence, but ultimately gives it up, because he doesn't want to spend too much time away from the city. He tries relaxing in the park or by the riverbank, sketching out scenes in the hope that the peace will just come to him.

So people who happen by will see one frustrated blond tearing a page out of his sketchbook, crumpling up the half-done work and throwing it down with an annoyed grunt. The paper ball joins a collection around his feet as Steve lowers his head in frustration and then lies back where he's been sitting.]


Come on, focus.

iii. OPEN; Everything is totally under control

[Later in the week, it's starting to bleed into his performance. While he's with the Guard or on his own patrol, Steve manages to somehow trip up and fall short on his usually flawless coordination. He's distracted, and during training or some other run he manages to stumble, missing leaps or punches and eventually ending up on the ground. His pride is injured more than his body, but that's suffering a bit too. He gets back up with a grumble of protest to those around him, waving any offer of help away.]

I'm fine. Just a bruise. Let me go again.

Nah, I'm up.

[He certainly sounds it anyway. And detours Steve's way to snag a donut before dropping onto the sofa himself.]

So what's the word?

[Tony pauses in the middle of taking a bite out of the donut, eyes flicking briefly Steve's way. That particular word doesn't have quite the same effect on him anymore, thank god, but he still can't help a slight frission of unease. Maybe it's just the way Steve says it.]

What about them?
buildsomething: (...what?)

[ There's a brief moment of silence while Tony digests that, eyebrows lifting a little. ]

Would you want to?

[ Somehow it doesn't sound like this is just the curiosity of someone who wants to explore. Not with the expression Steve is currently wearing. ]
buildsomething: (eyes)

Okay.

[ He draws the word out slowly, watching Steve. In part because he's really not sure where this is going, but mostly to give himself time to think of what the hell to even say. ]

What about the problems on your world, though?
buildsomething: (shadows)

[personal profile] buildsomething 2018-08-18 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, I bet but.

[ Tony pauses for a moment, trying to work out what to say. He doesn't actually want to offend Steve at the moment, and it seems like the guy's really got something on his mind. He'd come over to talk, after all. ]

Would you really be okay leaving it?
