Shall We Dance - A Steggy Fanfiction

Peggy's PoV

As Dr. Hill checked her stitches, Peggy had to stop herself from giggling. She felt like a silly lovesick teenager who was swooning over a secret. And she has to admit; she didn't hate the feeling.

"What's got you in such a dandy mood at this time of the mornin'?

Peggy looked over to Nora who was grinning at her knowingly.

"Nothing, just happy to be home," she replied with a small smile, her eyes dropping down her cast as the Doctor checked the stitches on her chest.

"Uh huh, suuuure."

Once the Agent had received the all-clear from Dr. Hill, he packed up his kit and headed on his way to another house call, leaving Nora to clean up the rest before going on her rounds.

"So," Nora asked, turning to make sure the Doctor had left. "Did you have fun last night?"

Peggy raised a brow.

"What?"

"Well, I'm presumin' by the fact that there are two of everythin' out. I mean, two glasses in the sink, two mugs-," Nora pointed to the table. "-or was that this mornin'?" She asked, with a wink.

The Agent gave her a dirty look.

"Oh shut up."

"What? No goss? You sure?"

Peggy just looked at her.

"Look, Peggy. I ain't gonna tell no one. Hell," she threw her hand up. "I don't really have any friends, anyways."

The Agent bit her lip, looking over at the door. She sighed, figuring it would be nice to have at least one girlfriend she could talk to about that stuff.

"If you must know-" she started in hushed tones. "-he slept on the couch."

Nora's face lit up at the fact that Peggy had shared.

"Whatever you say, Carter. Whatever you say," the Nurse mocked, nudging her with her elbow.

Peggy tutted, rolling her eyes as the Nurse began putting a sling on her.

"And you do have a friend, Nora." The woman smiled at her as she tied the knot in the sling. "Yeah, Howard was saying you too are pretty close."

"Haha, very funny."

Peggy laughed as Nora gave her a dirty look and soon the Nurse joined in.

"Ah, you're okay, I guess, Nora..." She dragged out the nurse's name, silently asking her to fill in her surname.

"Williams," she offered with a laugh. "You're alright too, I guess, Peggy Carter," she said with a grin, packing up the last few things into her bag.

"You know what they say," Peggy said, picking up the mugs and bringing them to the sink. "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

"Oh hush," Nora said with a giggle. "And just so you know, if you say he slept on the couch, then he slept on the couch. I'm not here to judge," she added with a warm smile.

"Thanks Nora and likewise."

"Anytime, Peg." She picked up her bag and moved towards the door. "I'll see ya around."
