#why would 16yro steve froze at the drop of bucky's name

[lnsfawwi]

Rumlow said Bucky and all of sudden I was a 16-year-old kid from Brooklyn

yes, Steve froze bc Rumlow said Bucky's name, but it's the 16 yro Steve that froze, not the 30ish Steve! which means 16yro Steve froze when Bucky was mentioned!

So imagine back when they were still in school, Steve overheard random classmates chatting in the hallway

Person A: Bucky won another boxing match. gosh, he's so cool!

Steve: *blushes for no reason*

Person B: we have math together. he's so smart, he even corrected the teacher today.

Steve: *heart pounding so hard he's gonna have a cardiac arrest*

(after school) Bucky: what's with the asthma attack today? what caused it?

Steve: nuthin'

#bucky barnes #steve rogers #stucky #stevebucky #captain america civil war #so we all know that's when steve had his gay awakening right #there is no heterosexual way to explain this #why specify 16 #why would 16yro steve froze at the drop of bucky's name #why bucky related emotion caused steve to regress to a teenager #it's consistent with steve's terrible emotional intelligence back then #they are gay your honor #seriously this regression is a BIG DEAL #cus steve is always very mature he had to act responsibly since he was a kid #and then he's suddenly a 16yro kid from Brooklyn #AHHHHHHH #this deserves a meta
