[He could try to do this the anon route but didn't see the point.]

I've got a couple of questions and some statements to make.
One, Peaches. If you're out there. Text me sometime.

Two, does anyone know this man. If so, please leave info on how to win him over.

Lastly. I've figured this whole thing out.
Why they bring use here.
It's because we're all so damn attractive.
Look around.
Bet there's not a single person here that doesn't fit that description.

UPDATED: I am not referring to children. I'm sure they're all cute though.

[Contributing to the network - yes. High quality - debatable.]

[She shrugs her shoulders; she's dressed down in a tee-shirt, hair in a loose ponytail as she smiles at the screen.]

There's just some people from home I prefer not being able to follow who I'm talking to. [It's not untrue, but it does maybe understate things a bit.] And I'm only half sweet.

I meant it about the dancing, though. You're good at it. [Probably not supposed to flirt with someone who was asking for advice on how to flirt with Alexander Pierce of all people, but ohwell.]

[absolutperfection]

I get that. There's certain people from home that I wouldn't want knowing who I'm talking to. Fortunately, they're not here.

Half sweet. I don't believe you.

Yeah? Not as good as you. [He likes flirting. It perks him right up.] Wouldn't mind doing it again, you know?

[krasnaya_vdova]

Well, at least you don't have to worry about them for a while.

[She smiles a little, a slight tilt of her head.] I'm not that sweet.

But I'd like that, dancing with you was nice. [She drags her teeth against her bottom lips for a moment, a slight pause.]

We could even make a night of it, if you wanted to.

[absolutperfection]

True.

[Agree to disagree, Red?] Maybe. Jury's still out.

You asking me out on a date?

[Now as much as he liked guys, TJ still loved women. It was complicated. Sort of.]

[krasnaya_vdova]

Well, you'll just have to get to know me better then, I guess.

[At the question there's a slight way that her smile warms.]

Yeah, I guess I am.

[There's a touch of nerves to the words, the way she just barely keeps from asking if that's okay.] If you'd like to.

[absolutperfection]

Bet I’ll still think you’re sweet.

[TJ smiles, propping his phone up so he can lounge back and get comfortable.]

Well, yeah. I’d love to. But I gotta be honest with you.

[Here we go.]

I like men too. Not that you hadn’t guessed. I’m not looking for love or long term. If you still wanna go out knowing all of that, then pick a time or place.

[krasnaya_vdova]

Guess we'll have to see.

[She seems pleased when he says he'd love to. Then comes the I gotta be honest with you-- and it's honestly not as bad as she'd half-expected. She laughs a little and looks at the screen.]

I get it. I mean, I just like people. And without getting weird about it, my last relationship ended rather dramatically, so-- I just thought a date could be something nice, you know?

[No I love yous or plans for the future required. At this point in time there was still too much guilt for the idea to be anything other than actively terrifying.] What about Friday evening? I can pick you up.

[absolutperfection]

So do I.

[She was pretty. Could dance. Banter and flirt. He'd be lying if he said they didn't have a connection of some kind. Maybe it won't go anywhere. Maybe they'll become friends. He's running low when it comes to people who care about him.]

You know, I understand completely. So did mine.

[A long story for a day years from now or when he's somehow not sober.]

Sounds good. I can be outside community housing.

[krasnaya_vdova]

[It was a new thing for her, the fact that he struck her in a way she hadn't felt in a long time. The beginnings of interest. And she was resisting the urge to pull away from it, so that's progress. He was cute, a good dancer, and he made her smile.

She doesn't ask about what happened, because the last thing she wants to do is talk about Alexei. Way more alcohol would be required for that- she hasn't even really talked to Bucky about it.]

Well, it's a date then. Say around seven? I'll text you when when I'm headed over.
