“Compromise where you can. Where you can’t, don’t. Even if everyone is telling you that something wrong is something right. Even if the whole world is telling you to move, it is your duty to plant yourself like a tree, look them in the eye, and say ‘No, you move.’”
My whole life is in New York… my roommate, my job… My plane ticket’s already booked.
JESUS, THIS SCENE. JUST LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE OVER THIS.
Steve was so stoic when he asked, expression and voice both firm. He’d emotionally distanced himself from the situation, prepared himself for the answer to be no.
But then Bucky answers. And it’s not just – it’s not just a yeah, Steve, you persistent fucker, I remember you.
He proves it. Starts by talking about Steve’s mom and maybe everyone would know her name but not everyone would have that fond smile while they said it. A familiar smile, I’m sure - maybe a little smaller, a little more guarded and hesitant, but still familiar - because you can’t tell me that Bucky didn’t love Sarah Rogers like she was his own mother.
And then he says something more personal. Something that probably wasn’t in the history books. Newspaper in Steve’s shoes. That fond smile gets bigger; a memory - a dozen, maybe - about this same thing. About Steve.
And after that – well, Steve hadn’t prepared himself for that. His expression just breaks, crumbles into something that’s half-joy, half-pain. He’s so goddamn happy and relieved, because that? That’s his best friend. He has a piece of his family back.
Maybe a little rougher, a little broken, but that’s still Bucky Barnes and Steve’s gonna do everything in his power to protect him.
All the kudos to Sebstan and CEvans for acting the fuck outta this scene but also fuck everything for giving me these feels.
