The best example of the gulf between Nat and Steve that neither of them see is that Steve would absolutely not read Nat’s file that she shared with the world post-SHIELD, to prove that his friendship with her, and Nat would absolutely assume that Steve had read her file, to prove his friendship with her.

And both of them would assume that the other understood exactly the right choice and acted accordingly, and never even think to discuss it.

Because friendship.

I just really love the idea a lot that Steve and Nat have such wildly differing ideas of how to show the other person they trust them and that these differences are based entirely in the way their relationship turns in CATWS.

there’s something so fantastic to me in the idea that Steve, who spends half the movie distrusting Nat because she’s not telling him everything, deciding that he’s fine not knowing everything because she’s earned his trust, and that Nat, who has spent the whole movie showing him the best of herself, decides that she can trust that he can see the worst of her and like her anyway. 

I love that as a character dynamic.
