[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.

What luck, huh?

[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 has a slight flash of language on his face because seriously, language, but he doesn't say anything about it.]

I took her dancing. I still love her.

[O-okay....he's not gonna question Steve's intentions in that case nor will he muzzle his own language thanks.]

Nice you had the chance.

[He shakes his head]

It was nice.

[But even if she were here, he wouldn't choose her over Bucky. Not now.]

[..........]

Anyway, I can grab somethin' for you tomorrow.

You really don't have to do that. I mean, it's really nice...

...is it a DVD?

[Be happy he didn't call it a DFD or something]

Because Howard took our machine.

...I'll hook up a machine for you.

[Not his own, hah.]

I think I owe you more than just a slice of pie.

Hang on.

[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.

........You don't...you don't have to.

[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.]

Aw, come on. I've already read it, and besides it makes me feel kind of silly having it around.

[He's gonna touch it now and maybe flip through it and not giggle.]

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

It's just a comic.

...Okay...thanks man.

[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.]

And I'll see you tomorrow, right?

Right. I ain't gonna run out on you, this is important stuff you need to know.

Thank you, Freddy.

Don't sweat it. Thanks for the book.

[A pause, like he's thinking about how he's gonna say this next part.]

Does it make you happy? Just him?

[Steve nods right away]

He makes me happy.

I don't need anything else.

[Licking his teeth behind his lips.]

Congratulations.

[Steve looks so pleased, it's kind of adorable]

Thank you.
