ok SO i was sitting in class today zoning out and had a random thought/ hc kinda and now it’s everyone’s problem but anyway:
i was thinking about that scene in civil war where steve says “i see a situation pointed south, i can’t ignore it. sometimes i wish i could.” and tony says, “no you don’t.” and i thought… you know else steve has probably had that exact exchange (just those specific lines) with at some point? bucky. like tell me there wasn’t a time prewar, where steve got in a fight and said that exact same thing to bucky afterwards and bucky answered “no you don’t.” the difference though would be that bucky said it fondly, smiling and slinging an arm around steve’s shoulders, and would follow it up with something immensely sappy that makes all of us who ship them happy scream because as much as it scares him he loves steve’s fire. it was definitely a happy memory. when tony said it however, he was angry and almost accusing. and idk i kinda just imagine steve hearing that and having flashbacks to the happier version of that conversation, and thinking like, “this guy, who’s mad at me for my literal personality, is trying to get me to give up the guy who loved me for it.” that wording was not good but hopefully the point gets across. :D
