You know what I sometimes think about?
Steve was 25 when he first truly saw Bucky.
As we know, Steve had vision problems and was colorblind before serum. We don't know what specific form of the condition he had, but we can guess he had trouble with green and red, maybe even worse. That's not entirely important. What matters is that Steve only truly saw Bucky after receiving the serum. He saw him clearly, precisely, finally discerning the true color of his skin, his hair, his eyes…
Bucky might have been dirty, unkempt, unshaven, pulled straight from hell, but I bet Steve had never seen anything more beautiful, because Steve saw Bucky after several months apart, Steve saw Bucky alive, Steve saw him for real.
