i want you to know who i am, the bad and the good i want to tell you everything i've done but if i start, i ain't gonna stop, and i don't want you to look at me different once you know it all
[ immediate. sure. whatever bucky is or isn’t — boyfriend, teammate, brother, friend, more — bob wants to know him from the inside. all the things they leave out of the articles and exhibits. ]
next time you want to, [ when they’re together. when he’s looking at bucky across the sofa with bob’s feet in his lap. when they’re back from the morning runs that bucky insists still matter, despite the serum and the sentry. ] just start telling me. i won’t look at you different. i’ll just look at you like i always look at you. because you’re you.
[ the guy he likes so, so much. who helped save him from the dark and still protects him in the daylight. ]
