[ right. alright. give him maybe five minutes to cycle through a million emotions as he figures out how to center his feelings about this.
it's not that sleeping with other men is a shock. it's a mild surprise, but they'd grown up in brooklyn before it got conservative in its politics, and then steve hunkered down in washington dc neighborhood that was proud enough to have the little rainbow flags stuck to front doors. that's not the problem. it's not even a problem, just —
i was sleeping with a guy who looked a whole lot like you.
what do you do when the best man who's always had your back and who you destroyed the united states government for twice drops a bomb of an admission right into your hands like this? ]
If he's anything like me, then I'm glad he's wholly in your corner.
[i trust you. i don't know if i can trust anyone else the same way, but i trust you.]
[Nope, not opening that can of worms. So moving right along...]
if he has he's never mentioned it he ain't from a world with people like us though so there'd be no getting back up for him not that it ever stopped a certain dumbass i know either
[ what does a person even say in this instance? i'm glad you're broken up with him so i don't have to play nice just yet? he would've done, if bucky asked, and even if he didn't. ]
I'll jump on ten more grenades if I can get away with it, too.
Do you... I don't know how to navigate this, Buck. Do you want me to talk to him? Not talk to him?
you start jumping on grenades here and we're gonna have a problem, pal
[Sure, he wouldn't be surprised by it. But given how hard he's trying not to hold Steve's future against him, moments like that will make keeping his temper in check a whole lot harder.]
i've got no problem with you talking to him he knows who you are already but it's your call ain't like it's gonna change anything between us
