"I know." It's clear from the look in the eyes he appreciates the thought. Steve is pretty self-aware. This is hardly the first time he pushed boundaries. His entire team was a boundary pusher. It's harder when it relates to his personal life. He wants to keep his business private. It's unlikely he'll get his wish. He'd rather not get cornered at the deli like he's some kind of criminal for dating who he wants.
"I'll talk to Pepper right after him. I know she has our back." More importantly, she knows how to spin. Steve's idea of telling people things is more or less telling them and then saying deal with it. He'll need something better if that's where Sam wants to go with this.
"You don't think it's kind of presumptuous? I mean what if he doesn't want all this drama?" He frowns and pointedly doesn't ask what he wants to. Steve is kind of paranoid he'll dump him. It is a lot of pressure and unwanted attention.
