[No shit it's illegal, Newendyke. Sorry Steve he has to let that one sink in. A time when porn's illegal? Freddy would starve.]
Well it's not illegal here, especially not the kind I think you could use. I could talk to you about fucking ass all day but you gotta...you gotta see it and try it out with your guy, you know?
They talk about it with fellas, probably where you can't hear if you're not in the know, you know?
[Awwwwwwww Steeeeeeeeeeve.] Come on, you're not boring, you're just a tiny bit different. All guys are a little different. I was fuckin' fifteen when I slept with a girl, you think I did it because I really really liked her? I did it so the guys would think I'm hot shit. Maybe it kept me from being boring but I think that also kinda made me a little asshole at the time.
[Well, he sort of did like her but not as much as he liked the approval from other boys.]
[Steve kind of likes Freddy because he's honest and tells him things like this that should be embarrassing but he isn't ever embarrassed]
Guess so. I was kind of a loner, except for Bucky, until I joined the army, and the Howling Commandos talked about dames all the time. But by then I was kind of too busy with the war, and there was Peggy.
[Steve should meet Mr. Brown.] What's up with that anyway, I mean, do you like 'fellas' or just him?
[Bucky fucking Barnes. Er, that question kind of throws him, enough for Freddy to give a casual shrug.] I don't know, I learned a lot about the equipment but I spent a long time working on something I didn't really want.
[Steve doesn't get defensive, although he knows some men might]
Just him. I didn't even realize it until I kissed him on that mistletoe curse day.
[It isn't said with a tone that says I'm not a faggot but rather just matter-of-factly]
I haven't liked many dames, either, though. Rachel Schwartz - she lived in our tenement, she used to come out without her face on in the morning and get coffee with me, but she had a sweetheart. I liked her. A couple of others, but they never paid any attention to me. And Peggy, of course. She was here that day everyone came to visit.
[A curse induced revelation...he's not sure what to think of it but Freddy's not one to talk. Who knows what would have happened between White and himself if they hadn't been blasted to this world.]
That's the difference between you and me. My tit days are behind me, I'm a cocksucker.
[Said in good humor, because Freddy doesn't have the balls to say gay.] How'd that go anyway? You still like her?
[He goes into one of the rooms and comes back with a comic - his comic, actually, the first issue. He found it in the dusty back of a bookstore. It's a little bit worn but it's still in okay condition]
Sorry it's not new. I know it's not very much, but I remember you gave me my shield and since you knew what it looked like I thought maybe you would like the comic.

[A pause because, well.]
I've got to talk to him about all this anyway.
[action]
[action]
[Say Thank You, Steve, his upbringing is insisting]
Thank you.
For everything. For talking to me about it.
[action]
[Notice how he likes to talk about this part the most.]
[action]
I'm sort of boring that way.

Re: [action]
I took her dancing. I still love her.
[action]
Nice you had the chance.
[action]
It was nice.
[But even if she were here, he wouldn't choose her over Bucky. Not now.]
[action]
Anyway, I can grab somethin' for you tomorrow.
[action]
...is it a DVD?
[Be happy he didn't call it a DFD or something]
Because Howard took our machine.
[action]
[Not his own, hah.]
[action]
Hang on.

[Oh God oh God oh God look at that beautiful highly valuable comic. What do. It's Steve's, don't take it. But it's Cap, it's yours.]

Are you sure? I'm just giving you tips on how to get busy, it's not like I'm giving you life direction.

[Look at him carefully rolling it up only to let it rest flat because he's not sure how he wants to carry it home yet.]
