City Etiquette

[redbrunja]

I want to write a Darcy/Steve fic for my 'romance' homebrewbingo square and I need some guidence from my big-city peeps.

When the girl you are having sex with is catching the subway very late at night back to her apartment, what is the standard etiquette? Do you want her to the platform? Wait for the train with her? I'm imagining that Steve would wait and see her onto the train, checking that Darcy has her taser and her cell - maybe request that she call him to make sure she's back safe?

Basically, I want to walk the line between Steve being Steve, with his 1940's manners but also respecting that Darcy can take care of herself and make her own choices about her safety.

Thoughts?

It would make sense that he would walk her to the train station and wait until she boarded. For safety and a few last minutes with her, probably would kiss her until the door closes on them. I get my friends to call or text me that they've gotten home even if they were the ones dropping me home if it's really late cuz I want to know they're safe. I think Steve would want to but might because he's still trying to figure out the boundaries of this century. Darcy would call/text because she picked up on his concern and she might roll her eyes a little at that but she would appreciate that he cares about her. And then they'd totally have a cute conversation before they fall asleep. Or she'd call him half way home while on the train to make sure no one accosted him on his walk home from dropping her off at the train station. :OP
