Who: Daenerys Targaryen & Steve Rogers
What: Dany wakes up in a strange man's bed and chaos ensues
When: Monday morning
Where: Steve's place
Rating: Probably at least PG-13
Status: In progress

It wasn't really out of the ordinary for Daenerys Targaryen to wake up in strange men's beds. She'd done it a lot back in LA when she was younger. She called it her 'dark days'. Hey, being a stripper paid well, but it had it's disadvantages. The last couple of times she'd slept with someone however she had remembered meeting and seducing them. This morning? Well, she woke up next to a man she didn't even recognize. Her first reaction was to facepalm herself and her next reaction was to try and sneak out of the house and leave him there, but as soon as she got to the door she found herself walking back to his room and climbing back in bed. What the actual hell?

It was the movement - the jarring of the bed as Dany returned - that woke Steve. He'd had a weird night and, for a split second, he couldn't figure out where he was. Jail? But the police had said--

--nope. That was his ceiling. Second thought: had an animal gotten inside? It said so much about Steve's life that 'stray animal somehow in the apartment' was a more likely than 'brought a woman home.' So, when he rolled over and got a look at Dany? His expression clearly said the !!! of wordless surprise that he was feeling.

Say something. Anything, Steve. "Morning, uh." ...right. Did he know this woman? Did she have a name? Nope. Drawing a blank. "Ma'am."

Dany had managed to lay on her side and watch Steve as he woke up. The expression on his face was kind of priceless. She couldn't help the huge grin that spread out across her facial features. Okay, he was attractive. She could have done worse, but he obviously didn't remember picking her up last night either.

"Normally I'd yell at you for forgetting my name," Dany said. "...But since I don't remember yours either I'm going to let it slide. You can call me Dany. Please never call me ma'am again. I might puke on you."

Steve was confused. Really confused, in point of fact, and he lifted a hand to rub at the bridge of his nose. "Steve." He answered, because that was easy and he could offer that while he was busy trying to work through the rest of it. "Nice to meet you, Dany."

Okay. Best question was: did he bring Dany home? That didn't seem like something he'd have done, and he didn't remember drinking, but that didn't mean the toast hadn't been spiked. Or something.

He was not going to ask her if he'd met her in jail. Best case? He hadn't, and asking would only offend her. Worst case? He had, and he'd really rather not know that. So, instead, "Do you like eggs?" Breakfast was a place to start, right?

Breakfast? Really? It looked like Dany had gone home with a winner. She kind of perked up at the opportunity and nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah, I love eggs," she told him and then sat on in bed, still watching him.

She was still in her clothes, which kind of confused her. If she had woken up in bed with a strange man, shouldn't she be naked? And shouldn't he be ravaging for a morning session right about now?

"We didn't --" She paused and looked up at the ceiling with a shrug. "You know? Have sex last night, did we?"

He'd been wondering that himself, but the fact that Dany didn't remember was reassuring - they must not have done anything. "From what I recall, I came home and went to sleep. It was... an unusual night, though. By the time I got home, I was too tired to think."

Oh no. Had he showered? Steve was pretty sure he'd gotten toast in his hair, and then there was the lipstick they'd used to draw on him, and...

Self-consciously, he reached up and rubbed his forehead. Nope. Didn't feel like any lipstick was left. At least that was a small mercy. (He didn't realize that he'd missed a little that had smeared into an eyebrow. Steve really hadn't been entirely awake when he'd showered.)

"Do you remember anything at all? About where we met, or how you got in?" Oh man. Steve made a face. So. Embarrassed.

Dany hadn't been up to anything quite as exciting as Rocky Horror the night before so she was just suffering from a little rumpled hair and wrinkled clothes. She was one of those girls who could wake up and still look gorgeous. People hated her for it.

"No," Dany replied. "The last thing I remembered I was falling asleep in my own bed, so unless I met you when I was sleep walking or something I can't really tell you how we met." Dany's stomach rumbled.

It was a strange story and Steve really didn't know what to make of it, but if she'd broken in -- well, it was the weirdest break-in ever, and he didn't honestly have much to steal, so. Motivation? Not really there. Steve made a face and decided to let it go - sadly, this was not the strangest thing that had happened to him in the last month.

"That is really strange." Not eloquent, but true. "Do you live in Irvine? Maybe our locks have the same key and you--"

No. That was preposterous. Steve shook his head, dismissing the thought. "Well, the least I can do is make you breakfast."

Dany had lifted her eyebrows extremely high on her forehead when Steve was about to accuse her of breaking in. Or at least that's what it sounded like. Dany wasn't the sort to get offended easily, but she also wasn't going to stand for some guy telling her she broke in when they clearly spent the night together last night. She shrugged though. If Steve wasn't going to push it then neither was she. They could have breakfast and then she'd leave, right?

"Thank you," Dany said as she climbed out of bed. "I'm going to use your bathroom," she told Steve. It wasn't a question. She needed to make sure she looked nice for the hottie.

Steve had no idea how to interpret the change in Dany's expression, but apparently they'd reached some sort of stalemate. The thought of denying her access to his bathroom never even crossed his mind - of course she could use it. "If you need towels, there are some in the cabinet."

Lord. He had a lady in his apartment. What. Was he going to do?

Well. Smile, for one. She was probably having just as weird a morning as he was. And then start up the stove to cook the eggs.

"Thanks," Dany replied. She wondered if that was an invitation to take a shower and whether or not he would join her if she did. Somehow she doubted it which was a shame and a total waste of two hot bodies.

She went into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She had gone to bed without makeup so she wasn't wearing any which was annoying. She looked around in the bathroom trying to determine if he had a girlfriend or if a girl was involved at all, but could find no signs that would indicate there was. If there had been Dany just would have used the girl's lipstick to try and seduce Steve anyway. It was probably better that there wasn't.

When Dany was done preening she went out into the kitchen and smelled the air. "Mmmmmmmm," she said a little too sultry for the morning. "Smells delicious. Where are your plates? I'll set the table."

The tone wasn't lost on Steve. He didn't really react, but upon close examination, his ears were starting to turn pink. "Farthest cabinet on the left," he said over his shoulder. Breakfast was going to be simple - eggs, toast - but hey. Simple meant that he couldn't mess it up.

"I'm sorry about the ma'am. And the confusion."

He'd been thinking about the apology since he'd cracked the first egg. This kind of thing just didn't happen to him, but how else would she have gotten in if he hadn't invited her? Steve had overreacted and he knew it.

Breakfast would be the start of his apology.
