If this was high school, they'd be cutting class and making out in the balcony of the auditorium or something... but Rumlow would be the hot teacher. That is the LAST image she needs in her head right now.
"M'not cute." Is all she mutters as they leave the store, bags in hand. Is this, like... the worst possible outcome? Her giant, gorgeous, super hot Italian man thinking she's cute instead of totes bangable? Probably. But hey, he put a ring on it, he's kinda stuck with her so he'll just have to deal.
"Kind of? I mean. There's remembering and then there's actually doing something." She shrugs. You can remember eating a delicious cookie every morning before work, but actually eating the delicious cookie is so much better. "Do you remember stuff about me?"
Does he remember what she looks like naked? Because she only has very hazy images to go off of where he's concerned. None of them are bad in the least. She can't even remember their wedding night, but that's probably because she'd already been INCREDIBLY drunk for the ceremony.
"It's weird. It's like having to get to know each other all over again or something and I'm kind of--" She trails off, hefting one of the bags a little higher on her arm to give her hand a break, "What if we don't like each other?" That's not going to happen in his case, she can already tell she likes him.
This is what happens when you secretly have really shitty self esteem and cover it up with being a badass. People think you're tough and awesome and egotistical at arms length, but as soon as you have someone close to you, they can see all the cracks and the flaws.
