Steve doesn't really cotton on to what is happening until Kori leans in close (and getting closer); he has the presence of mind to say, "UM," before freezing up entirely, and before he knows it he's locking lips with a gorgeous orange space princess.

Why does this keep happening to me?! he wonders, and the traitorous side of his brain goes, somebody upstairs must like you, pal~.. Steve's hands hover in the air before settling gently on Kori's shoulders; whether to push her gently away or pull her closer, he's not entirely sure yet.
