You're Captain America, [Bucky says, immediately - he can't
help it. It's practically automatic. After two years, he still feels like a
sham, even though he's been Cap about as long, now, as Steve had
been.
But this is Steve, and Bucky's gut clenches uncomfortably
when he speaks again.] I understand you think that, [he
says, quiet and low. Almost threatening, but it's not, really. It's just...
sure. He's sure that is what Steve thinks. But it's still bullshit.]
You don't have to be my friend. But I can fucking be yours. It's a
two-way street, Rogers.
[Well - looks like they're turning it into a one-way street, but
like hell is Bucky walking away again. Like hell is he not going to be
here for Steve Rogers. It's what he fucking does.]
You want me to pretend we've got nothing to do with each other, [he
surmises, based on Steve's actions now, and what Steve - the other Steve,
not his Steve, this is his Steve - has told him about the other
Bucky Barnes.]
