Bucky to Steve

<Metal Arm Ho>

help me

<Spangles>

what's wrong

<Spangles>

is there trouble

<Spangles>

what did you break

<Metal Arm Ho>

nothing I didn't break anything

<Spangles>

where did you and Sam go

<Metal Arm Ho>

well see when I heard that bang downstairs I just grabbed him and ran upstairs

<Metal Arm Ho>

what was that btw

<Spangles>

Thor came home. still no Peter or Natasha though

<Metal Arm Ho>

they're probably fine. natasha is, at least. she's bulletproof.

<Spangles>

but is she wild hog or rocket launcher proof? bc Wade has some very out-there ideas about what could be happening to them. it's scary

<Metal Arm Ho>

i don't know

<Spangles>

what's wrong?

<Metal Arm Ho>

well see. you made me kiss Sam

<Spangles>

lisTEN HERE IF I DIDN'T DARE YOU YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE

<Metal Arm Ho>

YOU LISTEN HERE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT

<Spangles>

I'm sorry

<Spangles>

is that really what's bothering you?

<Metal Arm Ho>

yes

<Metal Arm Ho>

well. no.

<Metal Arm Ho>

I like him

<Metal Arm Ho>

but like. now he's gonna want to go out with me and he can't and it's gonna be sad

<Metal Arm Ho>

and also I put him in his room and then left so he probably thinks I'm VERY strange now

<Spangles>

wait back up why can't he go out with you? you like him and if your overwhelming faith in your kissing skills is to be trusted he probably likes you too

<Metal Arm Ho>

you know why

<Spangles>

you can't be serious

<Metal Arm Ho>

I don't need the speech right now, Stevie

<Spangles>

but it's different now. it's 2016. look at me and Tony

<Metal Arm Ho>

that's completely different and you know it. and that's you and him. this is me and anyone. I'm just not. ready.

<Spangles>

you're never ready, you never even told your parents. you're almost a hundred years old you have to tell someone other than me

<Metal Arm Ho>

I don't have to do anything and I'm not telling. I'm just not. It's no one's business.

<Spangles>

SAM WON'T CARE BUCKY

<Spangles>

I don't care. You wanna waste your life and stay hidden from the people who care about you, fine. Fine. But don't come to me asking for help when you know what my answer's gonna be.

<Spangles>

I love Tony no matter what, just like I love you no matter what. No one will judge you. Honestly, no one will even care. They'll probably like you more if you tell them. Loki was a lot more likeable when they told us they were genderfluid.

<Metal Arm Ho>

I can't.

<Spangles>

Yes. You can. You really honestly actually truly can. I love you. I believe in you. You're strong and it's your life and these excuses that you make up because you're scared are bullshit. I'm with you til the end of the line

<Spangles>

and that means through this. I'll always be your friend but I'm putting my foot down here, I'm not going to coddle you and say it's okay when you're hiding and you're suffering because of it. At least talk to Sam about it

<Metal Arm Ho>

I don't know how

<Spangles>

do you want me to come up there and stand behind you? because that, I can do. Or I can stand in between you so you don't have to look at him when you're talking. I know you hate looking at people during actual substantial conversations.

<Spangles>

Buck

<Spangles>

I hate that you can give me the silent treatment online now.

[HEY TELL ME YOUR HYPOTHESIS ABOUT WHAT BUCKY'S HIDING. EXCEPT RENNAN, WHO KNOWS THE ANSWER ALREADY. I LOVE YOU. DON'T FORGET TO VOTE.]
