A family affair?

Being a SHIELD agent in a relationship with someone with known criminal ties? Awkward.

Being a SHIELD agent engaged to someone with known criminal ties? Very awkward.

Being a SHIELD agent engaged to someone with known criminal ties and effectively being blackmailed for it? Very high awkwardness levels approaching.

Being a SHIELD agent engaged to someone with known criminal ties, effectively being blackmailed for it and actually liking the gal? Weird, hot, and STILL very awkward.

Being a SHIELD agent engaged to someone with known criminal ties, effectively being blackmailed for it, actually liking the gal, and wishing to let the family know there's at least a relationship going? This was the pinnacle of weirdness that Steve Coulson found himself in. How in the blue hell was he going to bring this up to his twin sister, let alone his father?

So for now Steve went on totally normal. Business as usual. Yes. That's it. Business as usual.

Totally and utterly normal.

He considers his response, then shrugs a shoulder again. "She's what I've decided I need. She's good, and I find her sufficiently attractive."

"Well... you are getting there with the compliments." She tried to maintain that smile. "Alistaire, I will always harbor feelings for you. We have been through a lot in such short time. And while I know you can never desire me the way I desire you, I am trying to move on. And I am hoping that Steve will be good for me. So far, he has been. Even if he can be a bit childish."
