"I got all my rebellion and anger issues out early. I was ready to be a very serious man in a cheap suit." He didn't get the good suits until later when SHIELD could pay him better and he could afford them. "I only occasionally disobeyed a direct order and lied."

It is a little surprising how nice this is. He's genuinely amused by Scott's jokes and there's no denying how much he likes looking at him. There's a levity Scott brings to his life that Phil knows he can forget unless someone's around to remind him.

"It would have been," Phil agrees in his most dry and serious tone. "I'm a delight to know."

He leans over and brushes his lips against Scott's temple, lingering just a little bit so Scott can feel the smile on his face. Phil's life would certainly be a lot less interesting if he didn't know Scott.

"What electrical engineering?" he asks. They've talked about Phil's past a little bit and how he got into this but he's noticed Scott doesn't talk about his own skills outside of being a former thief and criminal. It's interesting but Phil tries not to poke at it.

He is on a date with his lover? partner? boyfriend? not in the middle of an interrogation. The secret agent side of himself can take over.
