SamSteve Brotp shenanigans and SamBucky OTP shenanigans
So I read a post with the perfect line “Sam Wilson is about to be bribed into keeping silence and to aid and abet any and all shenanigans.” which made me want to write about Sam and Steve’s unappreciated bromance with bonus SamBucky
Please Consider:
- When Bucky first meets Sam Wilson Steve is trying to have his friend make a good impression on his mom (friend) so it’s all “Look! Sam’s the best!! He works at the VA and has a house and a job and is an adult ™
- “Yes good” Bucky thinks, because 90% of his friendship with Steve is trying to be Steve’s impulse control before ultimately jumping right along on the crazy train “Here is another Adult and Ally against Steve’s craziness. Perhaps with two of us we can finally succeed in slowing him down” which is a good thing because Bucky is a tired Panda man and he needs his rest
- Also maybe projecting because he sees Sam’s beautiful smile and then Sam cooks him breakfast!?!? He is so far out of his league and he definitely has his life together and probably like… irons his underwear or whatever real adults do
- Ha! Sam’s veneer of adulthood is working as always
- Sam is a complex man of many talents who will cook a full continental for his friends and then turn around and subsist solely on pop tarts and chocolate milk
- Who will go to his steady day job and then abandon it all to steal his wings back from a high security facility and then go to save the world
- Bucky falls for it by making the mistake of willfully ignoring how crazy he himself must be to be Steve’s friend, and by transitional property there is approximately 0% chance of Sam not being a crazy
- Not only is Sam not on the “keep steve under control brigade” but he is an aider and abeter of shenanigans. You know that one haikyuu pic where you expect combined power to be like 10 + 10 = 20 but in actually it’s like 10 X 10 = 100
- “Hey Sam, I’m gonna jump off this building in the middle of battle and then you’ll catch me and I’ll smack my shield into that bad guys face”
- “Naw man, just throw me a the shield so you’re unarmed and then I’ll take out these guys and then you should jump off the building”
- Bucky nearly has a heart attack.
- Innevitably he tries to mom friend sam too
- Even though that is completely hypocritical because Bucky is an insomniac with week old eyeliner on his face
- They kind of bond over a mutual tendency to look out for other people even though neither of them are as put together as they tend to be.
- Bucky moves from “oh no he’s hot and out of my league” to “oh no he nearly brained himself on the coffee table trying to use his feet to push the controller out of steve’s hands while playing mario cart and is somehow still out of my league”
- The get together anyway
- Steve is a lil shit about it
