[Steve absolutely goes a little red at that, stupidly pleased to hear it. He's pretty sure Natasha would say the same to Bucky - assuming she wasn't asking invasive questions about a theoretical sex life.

Well, okay, she probably wouldn't be that crass to Bucky. Natasha is very good at reading people, she only pushes buttons if that's her intention to do so, and she knows how far she can push Steve out of his comfort zone before real damage is caused and is careful to keep on the better side of that line.]

I'd say to say hello for me but I guess if you want to keep this a secret you can't exactly pass that on. I'll have to pick up some dog treats on my way home from work today so I can be prepared for the extra guest on our date.

[Another thing Steve is clearly stupidly pleased over. Who doesn't like dogs?]
