⸻ @tougherthanilook sent. these scars . how did you get them?
“hm?” the redhead had been in the process of typing up a report on the plane ride back to the states when sherry pointed out the scars that decorated the top of his hand. they’re faint but still noticeable under some circumstances, steve tend to forget that they were there to be honest but the redhead can faintly recollect how he got it.
“cat, i think.” he stared down at the scars, his brows furrowed as he thought a little bit harder. “this was before everything else—" everything else being that his body can heal in a matter of seconds if he put in the effort. "—but i think i was like… 8ish, i found a cat who just had kittens and i was dumb enough to try and touch.”
that little incident turned him off cats for a while but nowadays he knows when to keep his distance from animals. “anyways, definitely learned my lesson after that. i'll take on a bioweapon any day over a mama cat."
