( in his Crimson dress-code approved black collared shirt and a dark jacket, dean has a tame Friday night. he doesn't think too hard about the night ahead. when he does think about it, he's not sure what he's getting into, but he likes Steve's company. and he could choose worse than Steve Rogers for a man date.
and maybe Monday's important date is pushing him to do something different.
in his mind, if he's the one making the choices, then why not explore what those choices could be. actual dates and dean winchester, they just don't happen. so while he has the time and the inclination, why not follow through. )
I have this. Five minutes.
( he checks in on who's covering him, fills the fridges below, and goes down the line and says goodbye to his patrons, and then comes around the bar to reach Steve face-to-face. )
[ actual dates and steve rogers never happen. so, this is certainly something different that steve is trying to process even as he gives dean a nod that says he'll wait. which he does, loitering by the door so they don't spend too much time hanging out in a place that dean must see more often tha one might feel is necessary in a week.
he has that air about him—a steady, loyal workaholic. ]
Hey. [ a softer greeting, and steve pushes the door open, gesturing for dean to head on out. ] Busy night?
[ not that it seemed crowded. maybe the party gets started later since it's edging towards a weekend. ]
( it's his work, it's cool, and it's the end of the shift. had steve wanted a drink or five minutes, he could have it. steve lingers at the front, so dean joins him, pulling on his dark colored jacket.
he doesn't give the bar another once-over, only having eyes for steve as he steps into the night air. )
Just the loyal Friday crowd. Comes alive after eleven on Fridays. ( Because this is Duplicity and the depravity, while 24/7, emerges later at night at Crimson. ) Our private rooms are all being used.
Right. [ he's still trying to get used to that. don't look at him. ] It's been something.
[ admitted quietly, settling into an easy pace with dean but continuing to keep a couple steps ahead so he can navigate. they're not leaving the down just yet, and in fact, they don't even have to go that far since he's taking them towards the provided apartments for the submissives. ]
Learned a lot of things I didn't know and a lot I didn't want to know. I guess that's just how it is these days though.
[ when his friends are from different points in time and they're in a sex city. ]
( Dean's familiar with the route, but he trusts Cap not to let him down. He's not overthinking, or underthinking for that matter. He's going into this with zero expectations, so far the polite conversation's enough. )
[ that seems like a weirdly loaded question, but all steve does is shake his head a little. ]
Pretty standard, I think. About being here. [ there's a slight pause as steve holds the door open to the building they're about to enter, gesturing for dean to head inside. ] You been doing anything besides working?

Getting a lay of the land. Walking Miracle. Not eating and drinking anything outside of Crimson or the apartment. It's easy to forget that last rule.
