James wasn't certain that he was supposed to have a different reaction to such news. Sure it was not something that men talked about and it was horridly frowned upon, but this was his best friend. He could accept most things from Steve and not blink many eyelashes about it. If he liked men and women, he was fine with that, though he would protect that part of his friend too. He would always look out for Steve's best interests.

"You love who you love, and I won't stand in the way of that," he said with a shrug of his shoulders. "I can't help you getting on date on the one side because we both know... wait, what?"

For one of the first times, he was speechless at the real meat of the problem. Steve liked... him? He blinked and jumped out of his seat to put himself between Steve and the door. "Whoa, whoa, you're not going anywhere. You can't just drop a bomb like that and rush out, Stephen Rogers!"
