(Sometimes Howard likes to pretend that they're sneakier than they actually are. That no one but Steve knows they're together, and he only knows because of an unfortunate incident that occurred some time ago. But he's not that subtle, not really, but most just know better than to say anything. Most think that if you can find some semblance of happiness during the war, you should hold onto it. He squeezes his knee gently, giving him a small smile.) We could go for a walk.

(he wants to kiss him. To feel him against him while he still can. But the laughter makes him cringe just a bit, a reminder that in some ways, they're always surrounded.) Was he laughing at himself, and they snuck up on him? (Howard laughs then, too.) Maybe a quick trip to hear them, but I'm more tired than anything.
