Yeah, I'll hold you to that, captain

Y'know though, if the runs aren't worth risking US, what about you?

I always make it up to you. True?

I'm just one person. Better just me than all of us. Even if that isn't a good answer just pretend it is.

Pretend it is? I don't know what we'd do if we lost you

If you'll let me be selfish, I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. I already miss you like hell and you're still alive

I thought the Avengers were a team for a reason, Steve

...When you put it that way.

You're right, we're a team, we are. But solo missions are going to continue to exist, and having more than one or two people will only compromise everything.

[There's about a minute or two in before the next message arrives.]

Look, I'm sorry for worrying you and when I get back, I'll give the solo outings a break.

You can have one of us do some missions instead of you all the time, too. Teamwork?

But man, Steve, don't be sorry about worrying me... I think it just comes naturally at this point

You should be more sorry for thinking you have to do everything on your own

'cause you don't

I know I don't, I just... Teamwork. Got it.

Guess I just felt better knowing it was only me at risk, kinda forgot I was being selfish in the process. We'll send out one of the birds, next time. Meanwhile, I'll stay behind and make sure you do the laundry the RIGHT way.

( scott actually has to pause at that, torn between smiling and putting his face in his hands. )

Here I was feeling happy you actually listened to me and then you had to go knock me down like that

Why are you always like this?

I do the laundry perfectly fine!

Because if I didn't that would mean you'd get off way too easy.

Also, you've not only shrank two of Wanda's tops, but you also ended up bleaching a lot of Sam's clothes.

Just a tip: never put bleach in colored clothes and always assume to hang dry Wanda's things. And just don't wash my things.

Okay first of all I can get Wanda's clothes back to normal size, all right? Fiddling with size is my thing

Second of all the falcon drew on my shirts first

And lastly I won't wash your clothes but now your shirts will smell like me

No no no. No, using pym particles on anyone's stuff.

No retaliating and causing even more damage. Honestly, do you all turn into children when I'm gone?

And most importantly, leave the shirts as they are, I wouldn't mind them smelling like you. ...and now I can't unsee you wearing my them.

More than turning into children, I just think some people get stir crazy while doing nothing in hiding. Some people, not me.

And for the record, I have a bone to pick with you for how loose these things are around my shoulders and arms and everything.

You're a full-body insult, Steve Rogers.

And I've been wearing this shirt all day.

Uh-huh, sure you don't. You're the role-model for maturity.

Oh, yeah? If it's anymore insult to you, all those shirts fit pretty tight to me.

[How's that for a slap to the face? Annnd hold on a sec. Steve just arches his brow at that last.]

Any way I can get visual confirmation of that? It's been a long day and seeing you nearly engulfed in my shirt would make it a whole lot better. :)

What do you want from me? Are you trying to knock me down or raise me up because at this point I can't tell

Actually I'm pretty flustered just thinking about it so give me like five minutes to get myself to quit laughing

( flustered or not, though, scott sends a photograph. he'll be sure to delete it later, mostly because the phone isn't permanently his, but he's got himself sitting up in front of a mirror and--yeah, the shirt's hanging off of him like nobody's business.

the most embarrassing thing is how close one sleeve is to falling off. )

You see that? How can I not feel insulted wearing this and knowing it's TIGHT on you

Remember what I said about going easy on you, earlier? Yeah, that still stands.

[And wow, that photo is really...ridiculous, Steve definitely gets a good laugh out of it and then he's tilting his head. Heh. Interesting. He's never really given much thought to how much bigger he was than Lang and a lot of the others, but particularly Lang.]

And yet, you've been wearing it all day. What's that say about you?

Oh and just so you know, I'm saving that picture. You look so adorably pitiful that I can hardly resist.

I think it says that I'm a sentimental idiot who wants to believe this whole experience is the closest I can get to having your missing self around

Because, sadly, my massive crush on you is still a thing that's happening even after getting to know you and how you refuse to ever give me a break

i.e. DON'T SAVE SOMETHING I LOOK PITIFUL IN, STEVE

I'll give you a break the moment I'm able to toss you down onto my bed.

Until then, you should tell me more about this 'massive crush' because I never get tired hearing about it.

( toss him down onto-- ) oh god

( it's not the smoothest response, but scott slowly drags his hand down his face and tries not to laugh again. why does he like steve so much, honestly? ~~but he does know the answer.~~ )

What do you want me to say? That it was a big enough crush the first thing I had to do when we met was touch you?

And even after that it wasn't just your insulting biceps and the fact that you were this legendary hero that had me all smitten, but because every little thing I got to learn about you made me want to learn more?

You might as well ask me to write Scott Rogers on a sheet of pad paper with hearts all over the page because even that's less embarrassing than this

Edited 2016-05-13 14:04 (UTC)

Is that a good 'oh god' or bad? Kinda hard to tell.

Well I wasn't expecting all of that. Pretty flattering. If it makes you feel any better, this is all safe with me, no one's gonna see. I won't make any promises about the picture, though.

[There are more embarrassing things, by the way, such as Lang's kid finding out he's, you know... kinda in a thing with Captain America. Wait, is that embarrassing or is it just awesome?]

You what? I just may let you off of laundry duty.

It's a "come home soon" oh god 'cause I'm very invested in the idea and I've never been happier that lying isn't a thing you do. Also do you ever look at something you've typed and then regret it immediately

Are you telling me you'll reduce laundry duty if I write Scott Rogers on a piece of paper with a bunch of hearts drawn around it?

Not since I was learning how to text and it was only if I ever made the mistake of sending it. Wait, is there something I should be regretting right now?

I'm telling you that, even without my name surrounded by hearts drawn around it, I may reduce it or let you off completely. Then again, better not let you off completely, right? But if you do the heart doodle I'll hang it up for everyone to see. Good?

( scott's actually grinning stupidly at that. )

Actually, I was referring to myself regretting letting you know it was a good "oh god", captain. And on that note, it's cute when you don't get jokes

So you're telling me if I write the name I'd have if I married you surrounded by hearts the punishment for stealing your shirts'll be less severe, but then everyone has to find out how smitten I am by you?

Your secret ego is incredible and I wish I didn't find that hot too

It's text. There are a lot of things that don't translate well through text. Not my fault.

Sorry, don't know anything about a secret ego. Think you meant Stark. But if you did, I'd probably have to boot you from the team.

And would it have been Scott Lang-Rogers or just Scott Rogers? I feel like it's a very important question.

I didn't mean Stark, come on! Who do you think I am? I promise you're the only one I miss enough to wear your insulting shirts all day for

I was thinking it'd be okay to shed the Lang for some symbolic "starting a new chapter in my life" reason

Hypothetically

Relax, I'm only messing with you. Besides, I think you'd look less ridiculous in my shirts in comparison to Tony's overpriced stuff.

Not that you wouldn't look nice in a fancy shirt like that but...

oh boy. Let's just ignore all of that, ok? Good.

Hypothetically, I like the sound of it either way.

Yeah, well... we'll see how far we go down this thing we're doing and see how that Scott Rogers hypothesis goes.

You know, if you want me to wear a suit, it's not TOO out there. I'm not that poor!

Besides, you need better pictures of me than ones where your shirts're bullying me by being too big

suddenly plot

i'd apologize but...i'm not sorry

thanks for giving me the opportunity to have scott worried about him /weak

you're welcome. I am kinda sorry this went kinda angsty instead of sexy

DON'T BE i'm all for the accidental cr

good to know!
