[ honestly, steve probably should be weirded out by this. should find it weird that he really hasn't actually interacted with clarisse outside of what they all now know are fake memories and fake lives that the singularity fake implanted (???) into their brains. he should probably feel some wariness in the fact she's reaching out, because they don't actually know each other, not really, not in any real way.
but also out of nowhere he sees text that he recognizes, in a tone that feels so familiar it reminds him of a kick to the stomach, or a bunch to the jaw, more than anything else. she barrels into his mind and god, it hurts, it derails anything else he might have been focused on, but it's also something he knows and something he hadn't realized he'd been missing and now-
now what? shouldn't this be weird? shouldn't this be awkward? clarisse messages him and steve feels a little like he's finally found footing in a series of days that he's been lost. she might not know him, but if steve is being honest, she knows the only version of himself he wants to be. so. ]
