❰ glad you see the error of your ways, now shape up. ❱

Yeah, it'll be right next to the part where Jonathan pulls a knife on David in a dark alley.

❰ his and jack's first meeting went great and it was everyone's fault but steve's. ❱

If we had a Bible here I'd make you read Samuels 1 and 2 so you'd have context but even then you wouldn't read it, you heathen.

[ He too snatched Jack up and smashed him into a wall on their first meetings. See, this is why they're friends. So much in common. ]

If it makes you feel any better I'm sure I can find someone to flog the sin outta me, I've seen like 6 guys doing it since breakfast.
One was AT breakfast.
Really must've pissed off those eggs I guess

Pal, if Sister Mary Catherine couldn't smack the sin outta you in 1933, sure as shit no one's gonna do it now.

❰ which is why you're his favourite, jerk. ❱

Christ Almighty, she sure tried didn't she? Should've made her the damn Winter Soldier, wouldn't have even had to give her a metal arm. Just a ruler.

[ Might have given him a few less than appropriate thoughts about nuns too, but he'll spare Steve's delicate catholic sensibilities. ]

❰ hrgh joking about the winter soldier. this is fine. steve's fine with this. it's a very funny topic that we can definitely make light of. ❱

Who needs to assassinate people when you can guilt them instead.

❰ hah ha... ha? ❱

[ NOW who's being weird?

If anyone's allowed to joke about it, after all... ]

She made me feel a lot of things, but guilty wasn't one of them.
Speaking of which.
Three times a month. You gonna be able to pull that off?

❰ no one's allowed to joke about it because it's not funny. ❱

I'm not about to break a hip, if that's what you're asking.

❰ he knows it isn't. ❱

[ On the contrary, Stevie, it's a god damn riot. Total bundle of laughs. Watch him laugh himself to the grave over it, bitterly and surrounded by ghosts. ]

I'm just saying, whatever it takes to keep you outta that center.
If you need a wingman or something, just.

Whatever it takes.

[ His one true unfaltering goal here. ]

I need you and Natasha to never talk about this.

❰ steve's life is flashing before his life t b h. ❱

Listen, Steve, I'm serious.
This whole city is god damn weird, it's an awkward nightmare, there's nothing good about it.
And things between us
Aren't all there yet
I get it.
I'm not trying to
I know it's not any of my business, who you sleep with. I'm not asking for anything you don't wanna share. Sleep with her, sleep with TJ, sleep with a god damn stranger, I don't care as long as you don't get hauled into that place.

❰ ...... ❱

Buck, all I meant is she's been trying to set me up with girls from SHIELD for months. The two of you wingmanning me together would be a monster.

❰ breathe, bucko, everything's gonna be okay. ❱

[ Let him be earnest about one thing during this whole conversation okay pal, let him level with you once and a while. ]

The stakes are a little bit higher here than they were on date nights in DC, Steve.

❰ hrrrrrgh. okay, but he's only mentioning this because you're being so serious. ❱

My bracelet hasn't come off yet. I answered "no" to their little questionnaire, I have to abstain for a while. Entirely.

❰ which, like, he's a virgin, he wouldn't be too bothered, except bucky's gonna freak out in three... two... ❱

[ Look at that it's almost like they're communicating honestly and openly like adults. Where's the media.

On the bright side, his freak-out is internal. He's in problem-solving mode. Tactical solutions. Strategy. ]

Any idea how long a 'while' is? What your time frame's gonna look like to get them in?

The bracelet wasn't specific.

It says 'rage'.

❰ what with how he's already pissed just in general and apparently the bracelets magnify the traits they read....... ❱

Well, you can't say they aren't accurate

[ Sorry pal. ]

You need a contingency plan. Worst case scenario, if it's down to the wire. I feel bad even suggesting, but
You think Natasha might?

Oh, fuck you too, pal.

❰ shut up!!!! ❱

She might. I'll ask when we're closer to the wire.

You kiss your mother with that mouth?

Don't guess you know how bad the rage is likely to get either, do you?
You think you might need someone there, in case?

[ Of, you know, like a Hulk situation. If Steve loses it on a civilian it's a fatal accident. ]

My mother's dead, so no.

❰ #my parents are DEAD. ❱

No. I can control myself.

❰ there's only ever been one moment in steve's stupidly long life where he hit someone out of uncontrollable rage, and it hardly counted, because it was zola and he was a computer. so. ❱

Join the club.

[ He's immune to the dead family guilt, but nice try. ]

Okay.
If it gets too bad, let me know.

I'm a charter member, my ma's been dead longer than yours.

❰ he loves you sarah!!!! ❱

Of course you'd turn it into a competition
I've got three dead sisters
Quantity over duration.

Cheater.

It's alright, Stevie, try to contain your jealousy

You ever think the war fucked us up

❰ they did not joke like this in 1942 i tell you what ❱
