"Yeah, yeah she was in the water - I think she was washing her clothes - she slipped and Steve jumped in to grab her." And being honest Kate probably would have been fine. But Steve being Steve, it would have been impossible for him not to try and help, the Steve he'd known, and this one was not so very different that the urge to help others had disappeared, even with the addition of the beard.
If only Jan knew, it might not have been so bad if that had been all it was, just watching Steve be a hero and no one else had seen it. But things were never quite so simple. "Ugh Jan," He wanted to squirm just thinking about it, he didn't think he'd ever be able to face old Tony without going red in the face again.
"He took his shirt off," He said finally, cause you know of course he did. "Before he got in the water to help Kate." He explained, because Steve wasn't out there taking off his clothes just for the fun of it, Tony felt fairly certain of that much. Old Tony had said he didn't even realize what he'd been doing, just being Steve after all. "God Jan, you should have seen him - he's just..." He trailed off, the image of Steve's abs playing in his mind again, yeah he'd stare again if he got the chance, even if it meant he had to dig a hole and bury himself in it after.
He cleared his throat after a moment because this wasn't really about Steve's abs, they were a thing of beauty and Tony would hang on to that image for longer than he cared to admit. "Anyway I was... look you'd have stopped to watch him too if you'd been there, so I mean, I was. And he was just, and I was watching and then," He turned his face into the sheets and groaned, "Tony came up beside me and caught me staring." He mumbled the words into the blankets.
