Steven blinked slightly as he heard the confirmation come from your lips. He was more than surprised he had convinced you. He looked at the motorbike seemingly scanning around for something but what it was you weren't sure. You raised an eyebrow as you waited for the man to get on the back of the bike.
"Steven let's go what are you waiting for?"
You coerced him eventually and he shuffled over.
"Aren't you supposed to wear a helmet? Im not seeing one let alone two"
You laughed and felt the suspension on your bike shift as he finally got into position behind you. Steven looked over your shoulder at the console not finding it funny you ignored basic road safety now he was slightly regretting his decision to have you take him back. He would have walked for the bus instead if he wasn't wanted by a murderer with henchmen in every building in London.
Steven hadn't rode a motorbike before yet alone been so close to a person of the opposite sex. His hands felt a little clammy as he placed them on your shoulders getting a feel for the fabric of your costume. It wasn't anything he had felt before it was soft but solid at the same time a little closer to your skin he was sure if he squeezed it his hand print would stay imprinted almost like with memory foam.
The image of his hands on your body sent a jolt through him as he realised they had slipped down to your bicep just a little but it was enough to freak him out slightly and he quickly removed his hands from their resting place earning an irritated sigh from you.
"This isn't the safest thing to be doing"
He chastised and you revved the bike forwards only enough to jerk Steven's body. Earning a yelp he quickly wrapped his arms snug around your waist with little to almost no hesitation in fear of falling off the death machine you had him on.
You smirked a little before putting your attention onto the road in front of you trying to not let the feeling of his hands or his surprisingly strong arms distract you. He moved a little closer getting comfortable on the shared seat his face pressed into your shoulder with his eyes squeezed shut his chest pressed flat against your back you could feel the rise and fall of his chest as he attempted to calm himself.
"Squeeze me any tighter and I'll crash"
You grumbled as you put the bike into gear and roared away from the community. The drive back to Steven's apartment was quiet but it wasn't as uncomfortable as you had previously thought. Sure it was awkward but at this point you expected it to be the next thing you were expecting was Marc to front and try to kill you.
That would be the cherry on the cake. You chewed the inside of your cheek gently as the bike pulled to a stop outside of Steven's apartment the hum of the engine died as you removed the key and gently tapped it against Steven's hand as a sign for him to release you. He carefully unwrapped himself and you could tell he was shaking a little.
"I would say thank you but that was horrendous. I'll stick to the bus."
Steven huffed and as quick as he had got on the bike he was off it and walking towards the entrance of the apartment complex. You watched him walk away waiting a moment before following him you reached the platform and noticed he had held the door for you, walking inside you allowed Steven to lead the way.
"where is Harrow going?"
Steven turned to face you and walked down the corridor to the elevator with his back to it. He seemed a little sadder than usual his dark eyes were no longer brown but black. You watched as his hair bounced with each step he took before making eye contact with the older man. This caused him to grow flustered and he quickly turned so he was walking forward again he hadn't answered your question which lead to you asking him again. Maybe he hadn't heard the first time.
