Oh. [ He doesn't know all the details, but he can put two and two together from history classes and everything Steve had told him before. All the bad things that were happening, the battles Steve fought, the reason he ended up frozen in ice. To know that another version of you was there and let it all happen anyway... ] I'm sorry...
[ He wants to distract him, to cheer him up, but he's not sure how. ]
O-oh! I'm glad! [ He's not sure if he has the words to explain exactly why he was worried, and if he did, he's not sure he wants to. Steve is fine with it! That's what matters! ]
[ ...in fact, he's going to celebrate that by scooting closer. And closer. And closer, until their arms are practically touching, before glancing briefly at the empty plate in front of the other man. ]
It's ok. I won't make those choices even if I do go back home.
[He just gave Yoon a soft smile. It was all a moot point for him. He wouldn't make that choice. He didn't plan to make any of the same choices those other Steve's had. He saw things differently.
Steve watched the boy slide closer with an indulgent expression. The last thing he was going to complain about was being closer.]
Yeah. I think if had another bite I'd explode. Did you have something in mind?
[ He reaches out to stroke the man's arm comfortingly. He doesn't answer the question that follows, though, just sort of nods, a hint of apprehension. ]
[ And then he carefully lifts himself off his chair so he can straddle Steve's instead, holding eye contact all the while but pausing once their lips are close enough to feel a ghost of a nervous breath coming through. ]
[His eyes slowly got wider as Yoon moved to straddle his lap, but he didn't make any moves to stop the boy. When he stopped they were close enough to kiss, but he continued to stare into Yoon's eyes, hands braced on the table just in case.]
As long as you're happy, I'm not going to be complaining to have you close Yoon. Even with all that stew in you, I can barely feel your weight on my lap. You can relax on me if you want. You'll never be too heavy.
[ He looks a little flustered. He's glad that Steve isn't stopping him, but also, being close is not the only reason he's doing this! Did he really think that maybe-confession would be the end of it without getting properly commemorated? ]
[ And so... he leans forward, closing the rest of that miniscule space between them, and presses his lips to Steve's. It's soft, somewhat chaste even, but an unmistakeable kiss rather than a friendly peck, especially with how long he holds it, hands on the other man's shoulders. ]
