See here’s the thing

If Bucky were trying to tell Steve he looked stupid, he would’ve said something like “Please tell me you’re not keeping that outfit, though.” And then Steve could have been like “You know what, asshole? I’m keeping it specifically to spite you.”

But no, Bucky asked him “But you’re keeping the outfit, right?” And it’s specifically set to contrast Steve’s prior status as a little guy from Brooklyn, not his prior status as looking dignified. Taken as a whole, the subtext is “I’m following the little guy, but you’re keeping the Captain America get-up, right? Because it’s impressive.”

And you know. If Bucky wanted to be speaking objectvely—like if he was trying to say “People will see you as more impressive if you wear the superhero costume”—he could’ve said something like “You really oughtta keep the outfit, though.”

But no. He phrases it as a question that sounds like he’s asking for a personal favor. And he leans in closer to Steve and asks it in a low voice to boot.

In conclusion a) Bucky is not heterosexual, and b) Bucky definitely has a thing for Steve in costume thanks for coming to my TED talk.

So I was rewatching civil war and I’m laughing bc you know the part where steve just goes through one of bucky’s notebooks and finds a picture of himself in it and then the camera just pans to the side and bucky’s just standing there awkwardly like,,,, it’s so funny because you don’t even know how long he was there like either homeboy just got back from buying plums on his morning farmers market spree and used his assassin skills to quietly slip into his apartment all clandestine,,,,, maybe he had plans to bake some plum pie who knows but surprise bitch there’s steve going through his gay ass notebook like ‘wow good job barnes now he really knows you’re pining for him’ or he’s literally been in there the whole time doing god knows what and I just. I love bucky sm
