[The club is dark and the pulsing strobe lights are sure to overwhelm any who come in from the dark of the outside. There is a main stage where a lithe man twists and turns around a metallic pole, moving with the beat of the music. Surrounding the stage are patrons, some watching silently in rapt attention, other being more vocal in their appreciation of the dancer.

Should you approach the stage you will come up just as Loki sinks down to accept tips tucked into his strangely still-present thong.

Should you wait, Loki comes out into the club about 20 minutes after a platform takes him below the stage. He starts smoozing the crowd.

He grabs his stuff as they head for the corner and drops down into the seat across from Loki. Steve shrugs at the thank you and shakes his head, "Thanks for inviting me."

The soldier shifts, leaning forward in his seat against the table, "I was hoping you wouldn't think I was rude." Steve doesn't know how that works. Is it rude to refuse a lap dance from a stripper?

"I can see why you haven't," Steve admits quietly and there's a bit of color on his cheeks, far more obvious here than in the club itself. "I'm glad it didn't upset you."

Steve smiles awkwardly and ducks his head, ugh why does he always get so flustered when someone compliments him? It's ridiculous. It's not like it's a rare occurrence either. It actually happens pretty regularly.

"Thanks, I'm glad you think so," he focuses on taking a bite of his danish. "So... what do you do when you're not working?"

He just remembers being the skinny asthmatic kid everyone picked last in gym class and beat the crap out of because he had an opinion. He's not used to being this incredibly handsome person still. None of this is exactly something he wants to explain to a civilian stripper.

"I've been catching up on some TV shows recently," he muses, because that is definitely the best way to say it. Sometimes he just wants to be Steve and not Captain America. A perfect stranger is a great way to do it.

"And I was taking art classes before the... organization recruited me. So I've been getting some of the kinks out sketching."

"More than you'd think but not as much as I'd like sometimes," Steve smiles as he takes a drink. "You'd think the world could keep itself out of trouble every now and then to give us a break."

He isn't really complaining. This is what he'd signed up to do and now that he has the abilities, well, he's going to use them.

"Yeah, I have an apartment in Brooklyn," he laughs. "Part of it is set up as an art studio. I... wouldn't mind a model."

Especially not one that looks like Loki. He's not sure if he'd have the best concentration if the man takes his clothes off but he could model with them on too. "I could pay you for it actually. Or buy you dinner."

Less subtle.

That's because people like Steve only go to those kinds of clubs if they're pushed, pulled or dragged into them by 'well-meaning' friends or coworkers.

"Dinner then," Steve smiles in agreement. It's as good as a date though he doesn't quite say it out loud. "I should have some time soon, probably this week."

Provided no evil robots or aliens decide Earth needs to be theirs.

"Alright, sounds good," Steve agrees, already trying to decide how to rework his schedule to fit Loki in it and sooner rather than later. He's excited by the prospect of having a model to draw.

One eyebrow quirks as the man extends his hand for his arm and he lets him have, laughing slightly as he writes the number on it.

"No problem," he tells him. It's late for him anyway. "I hope everything sorts itself out. I'll give you a call to set something up."

Steve smiled at the wink and finished his food, thoughtful about the meeting. He didn’t know where this was going to go but he thought it might be good to have some kind of life outside the team. The only problem with it was endangering whoever he was dating and the hang-ups that came with it. He never wanted anyone to get hurt because of him.

He slipped out of his seat and headed for the Tower. Steve didn’t wonder about what business had come up that drawn Loki away from him—why would he? He still managed to beat the rest of them back so he didn’t have to answer demands to know exactly where he was afterward.

As promised, he called Loki to set up a time for the man to model for him and a few days later met him at the apartment he turned into an art studio. He planned, eventually, to move out of the Tower and into the floor below it but it needed renovated and he was content with the second floor being a studio. He could sleep here if he wanted, the upstairs still had a bed and living area, but there was no reason to do that.

Honestly, Steve isn't sure what kind of sketches he wants to yet either. Obviously the man is comfortable with his clothes off or nearly off, considering his profession. He's considering that maybe he'd like to make some money with his clothes on for once. Maybe he'll just leave it up to him and whatever he wants to do, Steve will be more than happy to sketch. Seems pretty reasonable.

He smiles when he pulls open the door, "Hey, thanks for coming."

He ducks his head a little at the comment and gives Loki an amused look, "Well, I'm glad you think so. I certainly appreciate the chance to see you again."

Steve turns and gestures toward the elevator, "Top two floors, though right now I'm not living here. Some of my furniture is here but it's mostly functioning as an art studio right now. I'm in the middle of renovations on the first floor so we're going all the way up."

"The apartment will be two by the time it's finished," he says with a nod as he steps into the elevator. "I... inherited some money. I put some of it toward making a place mine, plus I wanted a studio and a work-room without disturbing the other residents."

When it dings open, it's a nice place though sparsely furnished. A bed, a couch, and the majority of his art supplies, which includes a lounge and a few stools. There's plenty of light too which is really nice and it's warm up here.

He shrugs, "I figured I'd leave it up to you. We can always rotate to something else either today or next time, if you're interested in another session. I'm not too picky."

"Great," Steve smiles a bit widely, excited to have such an excellent subject and hey, he had gone on a date with him. So far, he likes him very much. This whole thing should be interesting.

He shows him into the studio and gestures toward a table for him to sit his things. "That sounds like a good idea." Steve considers for a moment. "I think starting with figures would be good but lets just do the upper half. You can leave your pants on."

He laughs a little and ducks his head, shaking it slightly. He adds, "For now, though I try to wait a few dates." He won't mention that he kind of failed to get passed the first date most of the time. Those days are behind him.

Steve does give him an appreciative look over and then he gestures in front of the window, "How about over there on the lounge? Good light and it's comfortable."
