You just want to go somewhere to see girls in bikinis all day.

[Even though it's said in a joking tone he's really...not doubting it. I mean, c'mon.]

So? [ Andrew. Andrew, there is nothing wrong with that. ]

It'll make a great test flight. We can bring Charlie. She's flying now, right?

[ And because Steve has to tease:]

Maybe she has a two piece.

[The look on Andrew's face shifts from "dude really?" to "dude stop" to "DUDE WHY" in a matter of seconds.

He tries to regain his composure but we all know how hard that is for Andrew, and as a result he ends up looking down at his camera. His red stained cheeks are now out of view, at the very least.

There's a nervous laugh.]

Hah...uh, yeah.

[ Steve is smirking a tad, finding that very interesting.]

"Hah...uh, yeah." what?

Nothing.

[That huff is Andrew trying to sound annoyed so Steve drops it. Instead he fails miserably and sounds flustered and defensive instead.]

[ A subtle change in tone because Steve isn't Garrety. He tries hard to avoid stomping on things Andrew may or may not hold dear and from what he can tell? There's some kind of Thing he has for Charlie. ]

Well, 'nothing' or not? [ He whole heartedly believes it's not nothing. ]

I think she likes you. And I kinda wonder if you like her, too, because you were quick to glare at me when I mentioned her in a bikini. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I really don't think I am.

[The problem Andrew had with Steve sometimes is also the thing he liked the most about him. He understood. A little too well, at times. Like right now. Andrew knows he's obvious sometimes but Steve was pretty quick to pick up on the difference between a topic like this flustering Andrew in general and the topic of Charlie flustering Andrew.

He wants to continue to get defensive, but something Steve says has him looking up from his camera, furrowing his brows at Steve.]

...Wait, what? What do you mean by like...'like'?

[Asking in regards to what he said about Charlie possibly liking him, of course. Still not touching the other thing.]

She has a crush on you, Andrew.

[ The bluntest of answers accompanied by an amused smirk.]

[And in return Steve gets Andrew's BSOD face.]

What?

[Andrew Detmer ran into a problem and needs to restart.]

N-no she doesn't. Why would you think that?

She doesn't smile at you the same way she does other guys. She's happier to see you than she is anyone else. I've never seen a girl give a guy the looks she gives you without there being interest.

[ A pause and then a mildly baffled look. ] You really haven't noticed that?
