Date: 2014-09-26 03:35 pm (UTC)(post-Avengers 2; spoilers only for Cap2. Also: holy fuck, this is sad. And an unhealthy situation. Jeeze.
...
Steve asks, "Do you remember...?"
You say, "Yeah, 'course, punk. How could I forget?"
.
The truth is, you read a lot. You read things on the internet, a library's worth of books, and Steve's body language, Steve's face. You read his interactions with the others, who kept their distance from you in the beginning but have begun to treat you like you belong. Like you're Steve's.
(You are Steve's. That'll never be a lie. It never has been.)
Natasha knows, you know. But she doesn't tell.
(You askd, once, why. She'd smiled, sadly, and said, "I know what it's like.")
.
The truth is, you don't remember Before, and you don't remember During. You don't remember being Bucky Barnes (but you answer to that name because Steve smiles) and you don't remember being the Winter Soldier.
You've read the reports. You read between the lines in the historical record. You put it all together, see where you have been. What was done with your hands.
Bucky Barnes was a good man. The Winter Soldier was a very efficient weapon.
You are neither. You are both.
.
Sam tells you, “Don’t do this. He should know.”
You reply, “I’ve hurt him too much already.”
Sam shakes his head. “How long do you think you can keep this up, man? It’ll hurt more when he figures it out.”
You shrug. “I can be what he wants.”
Sam sighs. “You should be what you want.”
You don’t know what that is. Who that is. And you can’t ever let Steve know that.
.
Bucky Barnes loved Steve Rogers more than life itself. The Winter Soldier had no idea who the man was but saved him anyway.
And you… Steve is kind to you. He protects you. He provides shelter and sustenance and clothing. He sleeps beside you and holds you and never blames you when you lash out in the middle of the night.
You know what he wants, and you are glad that you can provide it for him.
.
So whenever Steve asks, “Do you remember…?” you nod and you smile.
“’course I do,” you say, mentally reviewing all the information you have gathered and either extracting the correct data or extrapolating something.
You are happy when Steve smiles. Happy.
But… you wish you could be Bucky Barnes. He was a good man. It is him Steve loves.
You’ll cling to the lie as long as you can.

So glad you like it!

Oh jesus, this is heartbreaking and so, so beautiful. It's even sadder that everyone else knows and I just. POOR FUCKIN' STEVE.
