What can you tell me about the werewolf games?
[ trust steve to just get right to the heart of things. ]
I'm not looking for trouble yet, I promise.

[This might be one time where he won't actually fight Steve on this. If only because being forewarned is forearmed.]
happened back in october
we got split into 5 teams and some people were given roles in secret
it was sold to us as a game but we woke up the next morning and 6 people had been killed and 1 attacked
then we all had to guess who did it and send 2 to jail
there were 3 rounds in total and 11 people got killed
we caught 6 out of 7 werewolves
they didn't choose to do it though. this place forced them to then made them forget it till the games were over
everyone who was killed came back to life but this place screws with you when you do
and before you ask no i wasn't one of the 11
or the 7

Literal death games.
[ steve isn't given to cursing because invectives were not welcome under sarah rogers' roof, never mind the kind of trouble steve and bucky got to outside of it, and the war besides. he thinks he might try it now, though. ]
Someone mentioned there wasn't a clear reason for the games being held in the first place. Do you agree with that? This whole place is giving a bad feeling.
Buck, I don't know what I'd do if you were.

won't be the last one either
portia considered it entertainment
don't think she expected it to go the way it did though
but she either didn't want to call it off or couldn't
none of the balfours give a damn what happens to us
we're unwanted houseguests but they don't seem to be able to send us away
[Just going to...casually sidestep talking about the times he has actually died, both here and in the last prison he was trapped in.]

[ well, imagine that. ]
I said about the same to someone, but I didn't expect to be so on the nose regarding the ongoing theory. We find our way in, but no one's getting out. Over time, things will reach its limit.
You think that's why the deaths had been allowed? Limit the numbers somehow, only it didn't work?
[ BUCKY ]

Will you tell me if you're taking it?
[ supersoldier serums are more universal than expected, imagine that. ]
People are gonna need our help, Buck.

Not that different from home, then. There's always people looking to get their entertainment off the suffering of others.
[ wait ]
What do you mean this isn't the
Buck, where were you before you got here?

another place like this called duplicity
they got off on drugs and forced sex though
and making it so half of us had to belong to the other half
fun times all round
there's a couple of us here that've been there
fair warning?
one of them looks kinda like you

To the end of the line, yeah. Which one of us is the idiot, honestly.
[ it's a joke. it's always a joke, because— ]
No one else I'd fight any fight next to, Buck. You know that, right?

[ he's trying not to overthink it, what that delay means. if he's failed him again in the future, if things are still rough between them after what hydra's done.
he should've jumped.
when nights get dark and steve lets the city noise wash over him — when he doesn't recognise anything about the world he's forced to live in now — he thinks he should've jumped. ]
We're over ninety. Probably we should start keeping journals.

[ he can skip over the sex and drugs and forced complacency, shrug it all off as more magic weirdness. life as a twenty-first century hero's a lot more work than anyone ever prepared him for, what's an alternate dimension that forces people to act against their nature? humans do it all the time; seems like aliens do, too.
it's the other thing that catches him up. ]
How much like me are we talking about? You're friends with the guy?

[There's a few attempts made at answering Steve's other question. Words written out and deleted multiple times as he tries to figure out how much he wants to share.]
we were close
as in declaration level close
i trusted him with everything
things have changed now we're here but i'd still have his back no matter what
[Oh, and-]
don't be weird about it

You're really gonna call me out like this? Over text, too? I haven't even done anything yet.
[ easy outs for difficult conversations. they have to work this out. ]

Why would I be weird about it? I'm
[ confused and maybe a little hurt, but that's not your problem to deal with— ]
happy you have someone you could trust while I wasn't around.
He's good to you? He doesn't get on your nerves like I do? What's the guy like?

[Making him actually write it. If this was anybody other than Steve...]
because i was sleeping with a guy who looked a whole lot like you
[Fell in love with him and everything. But the less he has to think on that, the better.]
don't think there's anyone out there who could annoy me even half as much as you do, pal

[More typing and deleting. Give him a moment...]
yeah he was good to me
for me as well
he's been a soldier so he knew what i needed before i did
[Just going to casually bypass the...less family friendly aspects of how that worked.]
he cares a lot
probably gives you a run for your money on the whole being selfless gig
the kind to jump on a grenade to protect the people he cares about
[Sound familiar, huh?]

I've learned some things. Sometimes a little warning is good for everyone.
No surprises, that has to be a good thing.

[ 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 —

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. ]
Has he actually jumped on a grenade?

we're not together anymore
[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
