It's not as if Maeve is prone to anger. She's by far the most understanding girlfriend that he's ever had, but it still surprises Steve a little that she doesn't seem to mind at all that he kept something from her.
She throws her arms around him, happy for him, and Steve spends a second looking very confused before he returns the hug. Don't get him wrong, he's grateful that she isn't upset, but it throws him a little. But maybe it shouldn't, he realizes. Maeve just seems to get him and how his dumb brain works.
"It was good! It was really good," Steve says with a smile, shaking off the surprise and finding it replaced with a dopey grin. She looks so proud of him and that makes him so happy, but it also reaffirms his decision to not tell her until he'd gone. "Don't you want to know why I didn't tell you until now?"
Maybe he should have just let it go, but he still wants to explain himself, even if she isn't upset with him.
