Before he became the winter soldier, Bucky had always wanted a motorcycle. When everything was finally said and done, and he got back, Steve would catch him drooling over his bike at all hours of the day, whenever he thought no one would see. Bucky still wouldn’t ask for what he wanted, to afraid…
#he watches steve so closely#and that’s not really adoration in his expression#no#that’s determination#and resolve#because even though steve’s not that skinny kid anymore#bucky looks at him like he’s something to protect at all costs#serum be damned#this is a war zone not an alley in brooklyn anymore#and bucky still sees it as his job to be the tough one#so he steps up his game#because he’s still the one that’s gonna pull steve out of this mess#so in a way#steve has always been bucky’s mission (x)
Ok but if you consider that bucky is queer and was sexually active during WWII then that means that there probaly is a gay grandpa somewhere that won’t stop bragging to his nieces and nephews about “that one time in 41’ when I scored with Bucky Barnes of the Howling Commando” at family dinners sorry I don’t make the rules.
