    Summary

    The three of them chat for a few minutes before Bucky commandeers the tennis ball and the dog, and leaves Steve and Tess to talk, in favor of a rambunctious game of fetch. They make small talk for a few minutes before Tess asks, “So how long have you two been dating?”

    Steve freezes.

    “We’re not…uh…together,” he finally stammers.

    “You’re not?” She sounds confused.

    He shakes his head, trying to swallow the lump in his throat. “Why did you think…?”

    (Am I staring too much? Am I flirting? Do I blush when he speaks?) Steve’s halfway through an anxiety attack when Tess shrugs and says, “Just something about the way he looks at you.”
