#solidust

 captain  america's  man,  through  and  through.  she  barely  needs  to  dip  her  toes  into  the  shallows  to  know  that  ---  a  good  thing,  too,  as  she’s  loathe  to  delve  deeper.  some  minds  are  like  minefields.  ordinarily,  she  reads  deep  into  every  human  who  sets  foot  on  these  grounds;  gleans  their  purpose,  their  intentions.  but  she  can  feel  barbed  wire  coiled  around  this  consciousness,  and  has  little  interest  in  pushing  through.

 “ i  do  hope  you  haven’t  come  to  try  to  enlist  our  help  in  regards  to  that  moronic  registration  act. ”

 she  detests  it.  scott  detests  it.  registration,  the  concept  of  it,  offends  her  every  sensibility  ---  she  knows  better  than  nearly  anyone  what  happens  when  people  know  where  to  find  mutants.  every  day  she  sees  genosha  burning  behind  her  eyes.  her  students  murdered.  sixteen  million  souls.  but  before  her  responsibility  to  their  memory  is  her  responsibility  to  these  students,  these  children,  her  people.  she  will  not  see  them  dragged  into  a  war.

 “ we’ve  already  made  a  very  clear  statement  of  neutrality  to  dear  mr.  stark.  we  have  our  own  problems,  and  absolutely  no  interest  in  involving  ourselves  in  this  ridiculous  little  frenzy  you  avenger  types  whip  yourselves  into  when  you  find  yourselves  confronted  with  the  smallest  fraction  of  what  mutantkind  deals  with  on  a  damn  daily  basis. ”

       ❝ barnes ?! wait ---  ❞        steve was still in the hospital.   still healing from the wounds created from the fight upon the helicarriers,   and peggy felt like it was her responsibility to try and find his best friend.   that disappeared after the fight,   but peggy had a gut feeling he was the one that saved steve from the ocean.        ❝ ... please don’t run... please. ❞

               “                James . . is that you . . ? “ the redhead stepped closer to the man standing in the dark shadows. She knew he was back, but she didn’t know if he recognizes her. 

accepting || Send a ship and I'll tell you who...

Gives nose/forehead kisses: I feel like Bucky would; and then he’d most likely ruin the moment again by making fun of it and teasing Steve.

Gets jealous the most: Steve. He doesn’t show it (or at least he thinks he doesn’t), but he REALLY does not like the way the women are ogling Bucky everytime they see him. [He does not realize that they ogle him the very same way] And even though he knows that Bucky is ‘dedicated to the case’, there is a part of him that does not want to think just W H Y exactly he gets so damn jealous.

Picks the other up from the bar when they’re too drunk to drive: Bucky. Due to Steve’s investigations with the women at the small town, and due to sweet cocktails that taste like sugar rather than alcohol, he might miss his ‘tolerance level’ and end up dancing on tables and telling everyone just how much he loves Bucky. (Upon hearing that it is NORMAL to love your husband, his answer is: No. No, you don’t get it. I love him. And then he laughs. He probably snoozes off the instant Bucky picks him up and demands a kiss because ‘We are married bucky! Good night kiss!’ and regret being alive the very next day)

Takes care of on sick days: Both. I can’t see either of them not turning into a helicopter-partner when the other one gets sick.

Drags the other person out into the water on beach day: Bucky! Steve is more than content just sitting on their towel and watching Bucky swim.

Gives unprompted massages: Steve, probably. Mostly because it’s impossible for him to keep his hands off Bucky, and Bucky does look stiff more oftne than not.

Drives/rides shotgun: They switch.

Brings the other lunch at work: Both, for the sake of pretending to be happily wed husbands; they both show up at each other’s workspace.

Has the better parental relationship: Steve certainly has a better relationship with his handler than Bucky.

Tries to start role-playing in bed: lol, their whole life is a ‘role-playing’.

Embarrassingly drunk dancer: This goes right back to the ‘picking up drunk’ question; though Steve would probably never touch alcohol again after that, so Bucky will hopefully never witness said drunk dancing.

Still cries watching Titanic: THERE IS NO TIME FOR TITANIC

Firmly believes in couples costumes: Both, even though they both pretend to hate it.

Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas: Steve, but he ensures Bucky that he did, in fact, get it on sale so, sh.

Makes the other eat breakfast: Steve; because just like brushing your teeth AFTER eating a meal, breakfast is important, Bucky.

Remembers anniversaries: Both.

❝ you’re not… ❞ hayley knew ENOUGH that she should not have been staring. she knew it was wrong. but it wasn’t the judgmental way. no, not at all. but she glanced at the man, she cleared her throat before attempting to speak again. ❝ well, you’re not quite what i expected. ❞  

                   ❛   i was just—um— wondering if i could borrow some... salt.   ❜
