Summary: (And the One Time He Did)
Peter Parker had a secret. No matter how badly he wanted to share it, he couldn’t, he knew he couldn’t. Deep down he knew it wasn’t a big deal, but it was. It was a huge deal, and sometimes he thought he would never tell anyone how he really felt.
You see, Peter Parker was a bi disaster. He told himself that he wasn’t the type of boy to stare at cute strangers too long or smile at the thought of a school yard crush, but oh boy he was. But nobody could know that. Well, nobody except Ned and MJ.

He says it so matter of fact. He says it like none of it bothers him. Steve sighs.
“Nobody is gonna marry me,” Steve says softly. He lays back down and goes to sleep.
In the morning, Bucky doesn’t mention it and neither does Steve. They go back to not talking about it. Maybe they never will.

But can he maintain a respectable and responsible distance from the man, despite how Bucky draws him in, in order to help him?
