Argh, God! How is Steve so aggravating? Bucky loves him like nobody else, but Steve is genuinely the most aggravating person on the planet, it's no wonder that so many people want to sock him in the jaw.
He should know by now, after long periods of friendship with him, that James Buchanan Barnes always keeps his word. Whether it's something serious like promising to drop by the hospital every day that Steve's stuck in there, or something dumb like eating a whole tube of toothpaste if he lost a bet. He never ever backs down on his word. It's his own type of dumb.
And he said he'd strip if Steve kept being a goddamn idiot and being down on himself. Now here he was talking about having to go face down and how Bucky was still the most attractive, so he was damn well going to show him the truth. Muttering to himself the whole time, just loud enough to be heard, very pointed remarks about idiots and stupid dumbass little punks, Bucky practically ripped his shirt and pants getting them off, leaving him in boxers, socks, and boots.
One of the arms of his shirt was still full, the straps of the prosthetic sticking out of the end where it had been wrenched off along with the clothing. His whole body was a mess, he hadn't been lying about that. There are burn scars all down his left side, taut and wrinkled and red. There are surgical scars all over his collarbone and along his left shoulder, which just ends abruptly. His back and midriff are a crisscross of torture scars, deep and numerous, overlaid on each from his chest right down to his upper thighs.
He glares defiantly at Steve the whole time, ignoring the way Penny is whining now as she senses an extremely bad situation coming when this crashes down on her human, and the gasps from the class beginning to assemble in position again. He really is a horror show now, he knows it.
