[ Side-eye. ] The one about you?

[punchedhitler]

Yeah, the one about me.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Curious. ] So you keep on bein' Cap once we're done?

[punchedhitler]

[Careful, careful. Steve shrugs]

I just thought I would stop. I mean, I thought I would go home and go back to school and just...be normal again.

[yourbestguysgun]

But if they're doin' the comics and stuff, you must be -. [ Pause. ] Did Tony tell you that?

[punchedhitler]

Tony says there are comics and cartoons and...

[And that he has them all.]

[yourbestguysgun]

He have any?

[punchedhitler]

[Mumbled]

All of them.

[yourbestguysgun]

Wow.

[ Fuck you, Tony Stark. ]

[punchedhitler]

[In the diner they go; the waitress nods over to a corner booth]

And people dress up in costumes of...me.

[There's a really awkward pause]

I didn't think it would go on after the war.

[yourbestguysgun]

You're Captain America.

[ Sliding into the booth. ] And as one of those guys you swooped in to save? I can honestly say that kind of thing won't just fade. People'll be telling stories of you forever.

[punchedhitler]

[He looks a little sheepish]

I just did what anyone else would have done.

[Coffee is poured]

[yourbestguysgun]

No, it's not. I know you, you go above and beyond because you're you.

[punchedhitler]

You would have done the same for me, Bucky.

[Admit it.]

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Staring into his coffee mug. ]

Yeah.

But you saved everyone.

[punchedhitler]

Well, at that point, I was there.

[He says it lightheartedly, because it's a joke. Of course he saved everyone.]

[yourbestguysgun]

You're a hero. People're wanna keep ahold of that.

[punchedhitler]

That's why I need you around, Bucky.

[Well, for more reasons than just keeping him humble, but]

[yourbestguysgun]

So I can tell you when you're bein' dumb?

[punchedhitler]

I get the feeling it happens more often than I realize.

[yourbestguysgun]

Yeah, you're pretty stupid sometimes, kid. But only when your big dumb heart gets in the way, so that's okay.

[punchedhitler]

Like last night?

[yourbestguysgun]

With Tony?

[ Frowning slightly. ] Uh. I guess?

[punchedhitler]

[Frowns back?]

He's lonely.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ He's not jealous. ]

Maybe he likes it that way?
