[for maeve, early september]

Steve knows that not telling Maeve that he's starting classes at the community college is a calculated risk, but he had his reasons, and he thinks that those reasons were worth it, even if she does end up being mad at him. Maybe she won't, maybe she'll understand. He thinks she will, but he also just assumes that he's gonna screw something up.

He hadn't wanted to overwhelm himself right off the bat, and he still has his job at Phoenix to consider, so he signed up for two classes. Now that he's gone to them both and hasn't decided that he's going to quit in shame, he decides that it's time to tell the girl that he's been keeping it from.

On the way to Maeve's place, he stops to get her favorite cookie from a bakery she likes, and then makes another stop to get her coffee. It's not unusual for Steve to bring her treats, which he usually does just because he wants to make her smile, but this time he definitely wants to butter her up a bit.

Thankfully she's home alone, which Steve knows because her roommate was sucking face on the couch with his roommate when he left. Sometimes he thinks that he should bring up the idea of Steve and Rue just switching, but now it feels a little too soon after the Baby Incident.

Once he's outside her door, he takes a deep breath and tilts his head back for a minute, staring at the ceiling like he's saying a silent prayer, and then rolls his shoulders before reaching out to knock on the door.

"Hey, don't do that," she says, still looking at Steve with care, though her expression has gone lovingly concerned. "You're doing this because you want to, not because you think you have to, and you're bloody smart. You're going to do great."

As he tells her about how it's gone so far, she relaxes into another smile and leans back, head tipped against his shoulder.

"I think that's normal," she says. "College is so different from secondary school. There's nothing to be gained from the teachers being arseholes."

"Jesus Christ, what is wrong with you?" she asks, squirming and laughing at the same time as he vibrates his lips against her skin. There's nothing at all wrong with him, nothing wrong with them, and she wraps her arms over Steve's where they're around her torso.

"I love you, too, even though you're a bloody weirdo," she says, sinking into his lap, leaning against his chest. She's comfortable here, with him, and that means so much to her. Maybe more than Steve knows.

"Not even for one of those muscley superhero types?" she asks, tilting her head back to get a better look at Steve. "I've seen that one with the metal arm around Darrow, he's quite handsome."

And so not her type. He's too big. Too broody. Maeve needs to be the one with the bad attitude in a relationship, she doesn't imagine two people who are perpetually grumpy would do anything but make each other worse off in the long run.

She doesn't want to be with anyone else, though, she's sure of that.

"Definitely the spandex," she answers, smiling up at him, her lips pulled between her teeth. "It leaves nothing to the imagination. You can see every edge. Every... bulge."

She wrinkles her nose and laughs.

"The cape is just silly," she informs him. "It's going to get caught in things, you'll end up being pulled into an airplane engine if you're the sort who can fly. No capes."

When he pulls off his shirt, Maeve drags her fingertips against his chest. Steve was right, she much prefers the hair on his chest to any of those muscle bound hairless superhero sorts. There's something sexy about a man with hair on his chest.

"Spider-Man is in Darrow?" she asks. "Have you met him in or out of his suit?"

And does the poor bloke even know he's from a comic book and a whole slew of movies she's never paid much attention to?

"Maybe you should ask Spider-Man how he hides his inevitable erections in his suit," she teases, poking Steve's chest. "If he's a teenager, it probably happens every time he sees a pretty girl. Maybe there's a cup built into the spandex."

She doesn't imagine he'll actually ever do this, wear a superhero costume, but now if he does, even if just for Halloween, she'll have to do everything in her power to see exactly how one deals with an erection in a spandex suit. Just for fun.

"Or would that be an odd question to ask?" She tilts her head, as if she doesn't know.

"Wouldn't you be a little uncomfortable if you had a secret identity and someone in your new home said they knew who you were because you're in comic books and the like?" she asks, even as Steve opens her bra.

This is nice in ways she'd never known before. They're not in any particular rush, it isn't like the times when they're both frantically horny, trying to get undressed. She'd never really understood how nice it can be to take their time, not until Steve.

"Maybe he just needs time to adjust," she says, smoothing Steve's hair back from his forehead as he kisses her breast.

"You started it," she points out, even if she's no longer sure whether or not that's the truth. Honestly, it doesn't matter. One of them started it and now Steve is asking to stop it, so she drags one hand up over his back until she can thread her fingers in his hair.

"But we can talk about whatever you'd like," she promises, then bites her lower lip. "Or not talk at all."

She has a fair idea she knows exactly what Steve will choose.

“I like knowing you’ll work for it,” she answers, grinning. That’s not the real reason she wears tights, she just likes the look of them, they fit her whole style.

But it’s fun to tease Steve, too.

“It must mean you really like me,” she says, lifting her hips a little at the mere touch. She loves how Steve’s hands feel on her and a shiver slides down her spine.

"You know you don't have to tear them," she points out, as ever, pleased by the fact that she can still speak eloquently even while Steve is touching her like this. It gives her a little sense of power, even if she knows she's being undone by his fingers against her through the fabric of her underwear.

"Hmm, really like you might be a stretch," she teases, biting her lower lip. "Love you? Certainly."

Her hand slips into his hair, tugging gently, tilting his head to one side so she can push up on her other elbow and press her lips to the skin of his throat.

"Don't make me lecture you on the inherent misogyny in assuming all people with vaginas can self-lubricate and that it indicates arousal while your fingers are inside of me," Maeve answers, though she's breathless already from what he's doing to her. It indicates arousal for her and she's really only teasing him, but Maeve has a lot of opinions on the matter.

Opinions for another time.

Her teeth graze the column of Steve's throat and she bites down softly at his shoulder as she drags her hand down the front of his chest. With a twist of her wrist, she slips her hand into his jeans without undoing them, as trapped as he is now.

“I don’t know, what do you think?” she asks, grinning up at him, a rare unrestrained smile. Her fingers slip under the elastic of his boxers and she glided them down the length of his cock, enjoying that light touch, the heat of him under her skin. “I’m glad it’s the only one you care about, though.”

Maeve has never worried about Steve cheating on her. It isn’t that she thinks she’s such a catch he wouldn’t be able to find someone better, it’s just that she trusts him. It’s a good feeling, one she’s never really had before.

He’s a good guy, this one, and she’s lucky they’re here together.

“What about this?” she asks, twisting her wrist to get her hand around his cock. “Does this indicate anything?”

"And you're being very British," she answers, a soft moan spilling out of her as his fingers press inside. They're both still mostly dressed, hands in each others pants, fumbling a little like teenagers, much younger than they are. She loves it. It makes everything feel new, every touch the first one, and her back arches a little as Steve's fingers curl inside of her.

"I like you," she answers. "You could probably wear a bloody clown costume and I'd still find you sexy."

She loves hearing anything he wants to say in moments like this. Dirty words, her name, moans and gasps. Everything he does only turns her on more and makes her want to make him happy. Her grip around his cock twists, stroking him slowly until she can rub her thumb around the head, collecting pooling beads of liquid.
