"Why were you even trying to enlist, Steve?"

It's a gentle question but it's tempered underneath with genuine anger. Everything he had ever done was to try and give his sisters and his best friend a better life, to keep Steve safe. It was harder than it should be given that his body tried to kill him every few months and he had a propensity for running face first into people's fists, but he tried.

So why the hell would he try and enlist? He had to know that he'd be refused, he's had health problems his whole damn life.
