So, in Endgame Rhodey (or Scott, I don’t remember now) mentioned Hot Tub Time Machine, what means that in the MCU there is a Sebastian Stan walking around. Obviously, Sebastian and Bucky looks just the same.
Now, imagine if before Steve found out Bucky was alive, he went to a gala party and, while he is there, he is walking around without really paying attention (I bet that Steve is the kind of person that hates parties) and bumps into someone’s back. The person turns around to see who bumped into them and Steve is already opening his mouth to say sorry, but when he sees the person’s face the words just refuse to come out and Steve freezes, because the person looks exactly like Bucky.
The man smiles and says “You must be Captain Rogers”, and it takes all Steve’s strenght to don’t start crying, because even the man’s voice is just the same as Bucky’s.
They talk and the man introduces himself as Sebastian Stan. As soon as they finish talking, Steve excuses himself and goes home, because he’s just feeling so tired, totally exhausted. Everytime he thinks that he finally accepted that Bucky is dead and won’t come back, life gives him a reminder that it isn’t true and that he wants Bucky back, that he would give anything to have Bucky back.
To don’t let it all sad, let’s also add a funny thing:
After Bucky comes back (let’s ignore the existence of Infinity War and Endgame. Everyone is happy, nothing hurts) and is already far into healing from what Hydra did to him, he remembers of when Steve told him about that actor that looks exactly like him and decides to prank Steve. Bucky gets Sebastian’s number and calls him to ask if he agrees doing that - God knows that Sebastian is a random and chaotic person , so of course he agrees.
One day, Bucky gets Steve to a market. Sebastian is there waiting for them, dressing the same clothes as Bucky (something with long sleeves and using gloves, of course, or Steve would notice the lack of the metal arm on the spot) to change places with him and see how much time it will take until Steve notices.
(Natasha is there recording it, of course. She would NEVER lose the chance of see it and record)
While Steve is distracted looking something, Bucky gets out of his sight for one second and Sebastian takes his place. Bucky is following them by Natasha’s side, holding back his laugh while Steve and Sebastian talk normally. Steve hasn’t noticed that it wasn’t Bucky yet.
They spend 20min together until they go to the cashier and Steve still hasn’t noticed it wasn’t Bucky. Steve pays for the groceries and they both go to the car. Natasha and Bucky are almost dying holding their laugh and Sebastian just hasn’t snapped into laughing yet because he is a good actor. They put the groceries inside the car trunk, Steve turns to “Bucky” and says “Hey, Sebastian, can you please call Bucky, wherever the hell he is, so we can go home?”.
Steve knew all along it wasn’t Bucky. But, well, why not prank them back?
