[ steve's already down to just shorts, nothing too restricting by any means, and with the way nate arches up against him, he can probably feel that he's not unaffected by being pressed together or the kisses that they've shared. that slight break has him resting his weight on his free hand, meeting nate's eyes and considering.
he doesn't need to ask him if he's sure. there's enough of that in the way he speaks and how he responds, but steve still watches him for a moment, eventually offering nate a soft smile. ]

[ there's probably something in the apartment if not. no matter how many times he goes through and disposes of sex-related items, they always seem to appear as if by magic. still, he can't expect either of them to hold onto those things, and even asking is causing a warm sort of flush to work up the back of steve's neck. being forthright about things like this is taking time, especially when all of this is usually some kind of awkward.
but steve doesn't want it to be, settling a hand against nate's belly as he sits up and looks at him. ]
