[ If it makes him feel any better, it’s his propriety and unimpeachable respect — he would never reduce someone to their body parts — that makes this hilarious.
So she can at least give him that no one is walking away from this doubting his character. ]
[Oh he knows, but it's not going to stop him from poking fun at Steve.]
Sure, buddy.
Just make sure to be quiet, some of us hear better than others. Or you know, just wait until we can all go back home before bringing in your next conquest.
[It's okay, Steve. No one is likely to believe Bucky anyway.
Even with his heavy boots on, Bucky is quiet when he joins Steve in the kitchen. He purposefully sidesteps so that he comes into the peripheral view of the other man, not wanting to startle him, and reaches into a cupboard for two glasses and the bottle of whiskey someone hid there. Filling the glasses, he slides one to Steve on the countertop as he raises an eyebrow slowly:]
I have a feeling there's a good story behind this, [he says as he leans against the counter, waiting for his friend to share his thoughts.]
[ He takes a sip of the whiskey. It does nothing, but maybe a placebo effect will calm his nerves. Why does he feel so strangely telling this to Bucky, as if it's a confession? ]
Oh, you want the whole story? I wouldn't even know where to start.
[ A beat. He considers it's like ripping off a bandaid. ]
Tony and I are going steady. We have been, for a couple months, but I didn't really wanna tell anyone unless it was serious. I guess we're -- starting to. Tell people.
[ And he could tell that whole story if Bucky really wants, but he really just needs to get that out of the way first, and see what he says. Because - yeah, well, it is kinda awkward, isn't it? Especially because it's Tony and Buck. And he knows Tony forgave Bucky, but he also knows that's not some sort of on-off switch he can toggle - and he imagines Bucky might have some thoughts about that. ]

Unfortunately, that’s what makes it funny.
