“Penny is for you— Why don’t you come? Penny can be here. You can be here. And if anyone says something dumb, you can both hold me back from kicking their mouths shut.” Ha. As if Steve could ever get his foot up that high! He just seems to have a penchant for desiring to kick people. Mostly Bucky, but he’s fine with spreading around the metaphorical wealth.

Bucky’s the only person who has seen him without his shirt on in the light. He’s fooled around with some people here or there but he’s mostly just given head and called it a day. Everyone gets something out of it and Steve gets to keep his clothing on. Win-win.

He’s got a feeling that, right now, Bucky’s pretty body conscious too. And maybe they can work through that together if he comes to class and sees Steve fighting through his anxiety?

Because yeah. Steve’s done a lot of research. He’s downloaded a lot of podcasts about PTSD suffers. He’s doing his homework, just as Bucky feared.
