Steve snorted softly. "If you say so," He didn't believe his friend for one second, but he hadn't hit him yet, so maybe that was a good sign.

"Flattered?" He looked over at Bucky shocked. He never for one moment would have thought he would hear that come out of his friend's mouth. "I don't understand. How can you be flattered?"

It would be so easy to just lean into his touch and just forget about everything that was said, but he couldn't do that, especially after his question.

Steve looked at his best friend sharply. "You think I don't know that? Why the hell do you think I didn't want to tell you in the first place. I can just add this to my list of things that make me a complete and total outcast."
