Then they are both in luck. Bucky can miss his session and Steve gets to be loved forever, which is the only thing he really wants from Bucky to begin with.
Lunch goes well. They don’t talk about Bucky at all. Steve insists on coming over for dinner too, but he only stays for an hour after his shift at the campus bookstore. He’s got a lot on his plate but his research into Bucky’s possible state of mind keeps everything on the up and up. He can safely ignore his own insecurities and instead try to help Bucky alleviate his own.
Being a vet with a dog gets him some pretty big points for Steve’s class. Ten students and a teacher are present as Steve sits in the corner in a black robe. The students are curious about Bucky, sure, but it’s Penny that really gets their attention. There’s a big wolf looking dog around campus the last few days, they all tell Bucky as they come over to say hello to his dog. “Kinda creepy, glad this one is normal sized!”
“Haven’t seen it myself but my roommate did!”
“All right, everyone,” the teacher finally interiors. “Please find a seat and Mr. Rogers?” That gets a snicker. “Whenever you’re ready?”
Steve is never going to be ready so he just stands up defiantly and takes off his robe. Just like that. He figures he’ll just stand for awhile and face forward, staring at the wall.
