I want Steve Rogers who isn't used to his post-serum body yet. Sure, 90% of the time, he's fine. But sometimes he just... Forgets he isn't a 5'4, 95 lbs scrawny guy adorned top to bottom with health conditions anymore. He's healthy now, overly so. Insanely strong and durable, and sure he remembers that but he sometimes forgets the serum actually healed all of his conditions, too. And it ranges from the first time he got the serum, during hydra-take out missions, and even post-ice
Post ice makes the most sense to me because he's been sleeping for 70 years, and he spent most of his time as that little guy before that. He was only Captain America for like a year, and maybe a half at most. It makes the most sense he has to try and get used to that body all over again from the top
So anyway, here's some instances where Steve forgets he's a 6'2 and over 200 lbs super soldier now (and Bucky is involved in most of them, because I want to and some +stucky for post-civil war times. And I'm the one writing, so deal with the illogical and delusional writing)
*After an explosion in a building. There's a fire now, and people to save through the smoke*
Steve: *nervously fidgeting*
Bucky, pauses mid-strap on of a fire proof suit: hey, hey, what's going on?
Steve: it's--- I can't go in there. I'd just slow you guys down. Cuz', like, I don't have my inhaler with me. What if my asthma---
Steve: *pausing when he notices Bucky's pointed look, confused*
Bucky: *generally nodding down Steve's body*
Steve, blinks: oh, right, right
Steve: *hurrying down the hallway of the base, his focus on the papers in his hands*
Steve: *looks up last second to look at the people inside*
Steve: *hits his head to the top of the door frame*
*the howling commandos chatting in the locker room of the base after a mission, everyone in a good mood.*
Steve: *heads to the showers with Gabe*
*shuffling of clothes coming from inside, a loud thud*
Everyone: *runs inside, worried*
Dugan: AYE, WHAT HAPPENED?
Gabe: *laughing his ass off*
Pink: Cap, what is wrong?
Steve, looking horrified as he turns to them: My dick is huge!
Bucky: *doubles over wheezing and cackling against the wall*
Steve, meeting a congressman under Fury: It's great to meet you, sir
Congressman, extending a hand for a shake: The pleasure is all mine! Captain---
Steve: *shakes the man's hand*
Congressman: *shrieks and pulls his hand back in pain, his hand all red*
Steve: *panicking and apologizing, forgot how strong he was*
Steve, after running for a long time during a chase. They've caught the guy, now he's resting on the side walk, panting heavily. He's holding his chest, panicking
Bucky, coming to check on Steve after seeing the panic in his face: hey, hey, buddy? What's wrong, breath--- Steve? Sweetheart?
Steve, eyes blown wide, clutching his heart: I can't, wheeze, breathe, cough, my heart is, I'm gonna---
Bucky: hey, hey look at me. Yes you can, you can breathe, you're okay. Your heart is okay now
Steve: *hands shaking as he looks up, mimicking Bucky's exaggerated breathing to calm down*
Bucky: *holds Steve through it, letting him touch his chest to follow his breath*
Steve: *notices that yes, his heart is fine. He was just panicking*
Bucky: yeah, Stevie. You're fine. Did you forget?
Steve, remembering he no longer has heart problems anymore: yeah... 'is'kay...
Steve, Sam, Natasha and Bucky out for food
Steve: Oh, I can't spicy. My stomach ulcer---
Steve: *catches Bucky's long gaze*
Steve: ---is fine. Yeah. It's okay now. Never mind
Bucky: *squeezes Steve's knee under the table*
Clint: *walking into the lounge area of the compound mid-day*
Steve: *curled in on himself in a ball on Bucky's lap, asleep, making Bucky almost invisible under himself*
Bucky: *completely calm, chilling with the biggest ball of human on his lap like a cat, one hand in Steve's hair and the other typing on his phone*
Clint, walking back out: nope.
Steve is so used to randomly tackling Bucky. It had no effect when they was little due to his size and strength. And it has little effect now as well, since both of them are super-serum and Bucky is built like a tank
The quartet are playing table football with Steve and Sam vs. Bucky and Nat
Steve: *scores the final winning goal*
Nat and Bucky: *groaning in loss*
Steve, jumping and fist pumping the air: yes, yes!
Sam: *raises a victorious hand for a high five with Steve*
Sam, panicked as he tries to catch Steve: shit--- Steve---
Bucky: *snaps a photo with a grin*
Sam, sprawled on the ground under Steve: what the hell, man?!
Steve, confused, isn't used to not being caught, forgot not everyone is as strong as Bucky and he's huge now: huh???
Steve: *waking up in the morning with everything feeling too bright, because he has better eyesight now*
Steve: *sitting alone in the kitchen table with a drink*
Bucky, walks in to see him: Angel?
Steve, looks up: Oh. Hey, Buck
Bucky, sits next to Steve with a smile: What are you doing alone in here?
Steve: Did you know what I did today?
Bucky, raising a brow: nothing trouble, I hope?
Steve, chuckles softly: Yeah, no. don't worry
Bucky: okay, then. What did you do?
Steve: I was moving the furniture today, to vacuum under it
Bucky: yeah, I noticed. Thanks for that
Steve: s'fine. I, uh... Lifted the couch. Like, entirely. Off the floor
Bucky, not sure where this is going: Yeah, sugar?
Steve: *his brows furrowing as his hand goes back to touch the base of his spine*
Bucky, slightly worried: Steve, are you hurt somewhere?
Bucky: what about your back?
Steve: it... Didn't hurt at all
Bucky, with realization in his eyes, gets up and put his arms around Steve: oh, angel. You're okay now
Bucky Steve, hugging him back with one arm: yeah.... I'm okay now
