There was so much to still learn and relearn about Steve and how they interacted together. There was no way that the Smithsonian ever covered such parts of his life, since he was not the super-soldier that the world needed. That was all Steve, but he was endlessly curious about his previous life before the Soldier. He knew there were little things that he had to relearn and explore on his own, and he really wanted to. Now and especially with the road trip seemed like a very good opportunity to rediscover all these things that he and Steve enjoyed together.

He tucked in close, warm and satisfied and comfortable, and there was something very comforting feeling the way that he rose and fell with each of Steve's breaths. He stroked his friend's shoulders as they lay together, his eyes closing at the kisses, tilting his head to give Steve more access to his ear. He shifted, grinding his hips lazily but without intention of arousal for the time being, just enjoying the entire scenario despite having feathers everywhere. "The world... is much simpler when we're like this."
