Maeve doesn't look apprehensive, which Steve takes as a good sign, but he's
still nervous. He's confident about a lot of things, but being a good
boyfriend isn't really one of them. Except that isn't exactly true. Maybe
he's just not confident in his ability to be someone that people continue
to love. He never really has been. His parents even got sick of him, not to
mention the first girl that he ever actually loved.
But Maeve keeps on sticking around, even when Steve screws up, and he's so
fucking grateful.
"I just--" He's nervous and he chuckles a little, cheeks going pink as he
reaches up to push his hair out of his face. After taking a fortifying
breath, he makes himself meet Maeve's gaze. "When I wake up and you're
there next to me, it makes me so fucking happy, and I want that feeling
every day. So-- I was wondering if you'd want to move in with me? Or I
could move in with you." He smiles hopefully at her and puts his hand on
her knee. "Or we could find a place with big windows. I just really want to
live with you."
