It would be between them. A secret, or at least something that Rumlow wanted to keep on the downlow. Steve understood. He might come across as an open person on the surface, but there was a lot that Steve kept to himself. He had to. His team needed to always see him as rock solid, unflappable. He didn't think he'd be letting Rumlow see any of those vulnerabilities either. For the most part, Steve pretended that he didn't have them.
"Don't worry, I won't go spreading it around." He made a fist and held it up to his chest. "Promise." And Steve could be expected to keep those.
When Rumlow suggested that they meet up at Steve's place next time, assuming there even was a next time, Steve turned toward him, maybe a little too sharply. His apartment was the place that he went to unwind after doing his work for SHIELD, and it was supposed to be separate. He didn't know how he felt about joining those two parts of his life, but then again, Rumlow had done as much with him.
"Maybe," he said after a too long pause, and then he smirked. "I'd have to clean first." Which is an obvious joke, given how much of a neat freak he is.
