#i wanna laugh but mostly i wanna bawl my eyes out over their mutual 'DO NOT DIE' like 😭😭😭#you just know that they were both worried SICK about each other#AND BUCKY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT STEVE HAD GOTTEN HIMSELF INTO YET#not about the serum and the signing up to be a human guinea pig thing#not about the traveling to an active war zone thing#i just need to know whose letters stopped first#steve's bc he was already touring the us/on a ship bound for europe?#bucky's when he was captured?#imagine the growing panic when weeks and months passed with no word from each other#the biblically proportioned argument they'd get in when they finally settled post-rescue from kreischberg#coming from a place of love and fear and a whole lot of barely restrained 'WTF DID YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING' aimed at steve's reckless ass#eventually followed by THE most desperate crushing hug because they can scream and fight and be frustrated with each other but#but they're really just terrified of losing each other#and now they're both in the line of fire and there's so scarily little they can do to prevent the bad things from happening#AJFUWJGFKDGDBFKSM I CAN'T DO THIS TODAY @rillils
<3<3<3<3 bucky stopped writing first, steve on tour actually let bucky know he got "a new job" for military propaganda that required travel. bucky assumed steve got work as an artist making posters or something. letters at that time looked like this:
steve, you marry any of those girls you work with yet? the guys stole your drawing of them again. send another but include ur ugly mug so they won't steal it thanks. im fine not dead got new socks from rebecca. send me socks too you got that new paycheck you can afford it. included tim's bancroft baseball card for you couse he died so i nabbed it. haha. hope censor doesn't take it for himself. you better not be sick and hiding it i'll KNOW. dont die -bucky
bucky, still not married. asshole. guys would stop stealing it if you'd stop showing it off. don't gotta show off every pretty lady you got, especially when shes PAPER, stupid. keep this drawing in your new socks. thanks for baseball card. girls thought it was morbid but they aint never heard bancroft play on the radio. NO DODGER FANS, can you believe? thats why i aint marry them. im NOT SICK. NOT DEAD. GOOD HEALTH FOR ONCE. return the favor and dont die also. -steve rogers
