[next time. because of course there will be a next time - now that he's the talk of his circle of friends and half of sokovia he's going to have to rely on steve's services a little longer. but...does "next time" mean the paid kind, or the kind where steve shows up without a word, doesn't ask for anything in return, and kisses him within an inch of his life?
this is complicated by personal investment now. the only question is if it's reciprocated in some fashion.]
Bleskový. Trust me, that is not the first time those two have tangoed somewhere that isn't a dance floor. Or the front door.
[he wouldn't be talking to steve if he didn't, but it's sweet he's asking. or maybe he's just being polite? or...maybe he wants to keep the conversation going. there's too many options to decipher the correct one just yet.]
Safe and sound, I promise. Admittedly I was more worried for you to leave the bar looking quite so enticing. You're alright, then?
[ Maybe too friendly, considering he's sure that Pietro likely dragged that bouncer home with him, what with the way they were attached by the mouth. He can't blame him, and in some way, he's jealous of Pietro's confidence and freedom. It's not something he's ever had.
His second response comes a little later than expected, as he's gotten in and taken a cool shower after a particularly heated evening. He's sure he can still feel the burn of Zemo's lips on his ear, his neck...
[he doesn't want to talk about pietro. frankly, he's not sure he can talk at all when steve goes and sends him another photo that he's sure is meant to be "innocuous" at face value, but it's the kind of photo someone attractive sends someone else while hiding a shit-eating grin because they must know how devastating it is to a mere mortal.
he thinks about sending his own, but it would pale in comparison. that, and he's currently not wearing anything but a robe, hair still damp from his own shower to wash away the sweat and lingering ghost of steve's mouth against his own. what are they doing?]
Ah yes, I'm sure you'd get kicked out of bed looking like that. For shame.
[hopefully he knows zemo well enough to picture the cheshire smirk and lilt of his voice with such obvious sarcasm.]
I think you've unwittingly signed yourself up to be a staple at them in the future. I hope you don't mind.
[ After all, the man is attractive in his own right. He can, in fact, picture the smirk and he can hear the lilting tease in the man's voice. It's nigh infuriating to think he's here in his own bed and Zemo is away in his own. Sure, the man set his limits early on, and Steve shouldn't even be considering it - he never feels this way about a client - but he's also not ready to admit to himself that this? This is more than just being kind to a client. ]
I have more free time than you think, actually. So trust me, I don't mind.

Which might be why he sends another picture this time just as he had before. ]
I don't think I look nearly as enticing now. The lights on the dance floor did a lot in my favor.
Thanks for letting me crash your outing, by the way. We should do that again sometime.

Of course, you're under no obligation. I'd never intrude on your limited free time.
[he's hesitating over mentioning payment. it almost feels like it'd be insulting at this point, but he is wondering.]
