[But Bucky is right. Queers were as good as dead in some places they grew up. Bars were raided and men pulled out to be arrested or set upon by furious on-lookers. Steve might have been reckless but he would never have signed his best friend up for a life of fear like that. Not when he so clearly could find a girl who would give him a safe, 'normal' life. He would have never been so selfish.
But now he is. Steve kisses the corner of Bucky's mouth, just because he can. His fingertips trail up and down the bicep Bucky's leaning his head on. It's such a luxury to touch someone like this. Such a pleasure to have a quiet moment where he can just be with someone who feels like.half of his very soul.]
I am sort of glad this happened here. No press to demand answers. No battles to fight. It's almost like being normal again, I guess. Except I need to pick a date for us that doesn't involve gel food.
[Steve relaxes back down, eyes unfocused.]
I can't approve of the Atroma kidnapping us. I just can't. But...the fact that they gave me this? Gave me you?
