OOM: afternoon coffee

Even people who pride themselves on supporting independent shops end up at Starbucks sometimes.

There's one within walking distance of Steve and Orpheus's apartment -- there are more than one if you're up to walking a bit more -- so Steve brings Felix there, so he can see what it's all about if nothing else.

It's a quiet Sunday afternoon. Steve has his sketchbook, but he hasn't opened it yet in favor of looking through a copy of the Express someone left on the table instead.

Orpheus laughs softly as he takes his seat, setting it up nearish to Steve, coffee resting on the table for the moment.

He shrugs at the description of his playing, not shrugging off the compliment, just showing it a fair assessment. "I could not make money if I tried," he says with a faint smile.

"But only if you actually tried?" asks Gaeta, clearly amused. "What would you have to do, physically beat them back with a stick?"

He gives his drink another stir; everything's starting to melt a little, making it a hell of a lot easier to combine.

"Hey, now," Orpheus says, mock offended. "I can play them to stinginess if I want. I don't have to resort to violence."

He grins then, and takes a sip of his coffee. "Though the stick option is far more entertaining. Maybe I should hire you for that, lovely."
mr_gaeta: (o rly?)

Gaeta hides a snicker behind his drink.

"Your own personal bodyguard," he deadpans. "How romantic."

"Possibly?" He didn't see the movie, at least.

He takes the magazine and glances over the article. "Well," he says after a moment. "That's...new."
mr_gaeta: (neutral)

[personal profile] mr_gaeta 2014-06-20 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
The humor fades from Gaeta's face.

"What is it?" he asks.

Orpheus reaches over a hand to lay it on Steve's thigh, squeezing a bit. "Eventually, being the subject of exhibits becomes less odd," he says by way of comfort.
mr_gaeta: (uh.)

Gaeta's eyebrows rise. Intellectually, it's one thing to know Steve's a superhero, famous in his own right; it's another to hear they're making a whole museum exhibit about him.

"Can I see?" he asks, beckoning for the paper.

"I think you're going to have to come to accept what a hero you've become, lovely," Orpheus says to him, hand moving from Steve's leg to his shoulder, thumb rubbing gently.
mr_gaeta: (pensive (and not in duty blues for once))

"'Opening at the Air and Space Museum due to space constraints at the American History Museum,'" Gaeta mumbles aloud as he reads the article. "Huh."

He always got the impression that Earth didn't have enough spacegoing experience to warrant a whole museum.

Gaeta glances up at Steve. With clear sympathy, "I can see how that'd be weird."

"I don't know why they wouldn't be," Orpheus offers, leaning back in his chair.
mr_gaeta: (hm? (civvies))

[personal profile] mr_gaeta 2014-06-22 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
"Gods know I can't speculate," says Gaeta, a bit dryly. Folding up the paper, he passes it back to Steve.

And then, after a beat, "Are you going to go see it?"

Orpheus gives his shoulder another squeeze. "One?"
mr_gaeta: (pensive (and not in duty blues for once))

[personal profile] mr_gaeta 2014-06-23 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Gaeta stays silent, but the same question is reflected in his face.

Orpheus' hand moves from Steve's shoulder to rub slow circles over his back. "That's quite close, isn't it?"

American geography is still not a thing he's particularly well-versed in.

And while Steve hasn't aged a day, Agent Carter would have aged every single one of them.

We've both lost our homes; just in different ways.

He hesitates, unsure if his next question would press too much. "Have you been to see her?"

"Do you want to?" Orpheus asks gently.
