How we like to imagine Steve and Bucky’s first reunion went: 1 minute of kissing, 29 minutes of making out/reunion sex. 

How it probably actually went: 2 minutes of making out, 28 minutes of Bucky excitedly telling Steve about all the cool tech in Shuri’s lab because they have flying cars. Actual flying cars. And these bracelet things that are also a phone. On your wrist! And-

You get your orders?

#I love how clean cut and put-together Bucky looks next to Steve in this scene#he just parades in like a fucking dream and Steve is a total wreck#and as the movie goes on you start to understand that that’s just how Steve sees them#According to Steve Rogers he’s a wreck and Bucky’s a dream#And that makes the reversal when they march back to camp so heartbreaking#because that’s how Bucky’s been seeing Steve all along (sonickitty)

So I just saw a quote from the Russo’s and they basically said “He dropped the shield, he rejected the Captain America identity, and embraced the Steve Rogers one instead.” I, of course, started sobbing at this part, but when I read this quote it all became more clear.

When Tony says “I was wrong about you, the whole world was wrong about you” is 100% true. The whole world, even his friends, saw Steve as this selfless, patriotic hero, willing to save the day no matter what. But that’s not necessarily all Steve, that’s mostly Captain America. Yes, Steve is incredibly selfless and brave, but he was also just a kid from Brooklyn before getting the Cap persona. When he went under, he essentially lost everyone who knew him as “just steve” not “Captain America”.

So when Bucky comes back in his life, he’s more Steve Rogers. “When he said Bucky, I was the 16 year old kid from Brooklyn again.” Steve doesn’t have to be Captain America around Bucky. Steve doesn’t have to be this hero that everyone needs him to be. Because Bucky would rather be saved by Steve Rogers than Captain America.

Steve dropped the shield, rejected the idea of Captain America, because in reality, he isn’t just “Captain America,” he’s also Steve Rogers. And that scrawny kid from Brooklyn would do anything to save his best friend, even if that meant rejecting what the world saw him as.
