[Even as much as he tries to prepare himself for Bucky's injuries, Steve can't help the breath he sucks in when he sees them. He decides to start with the one by Bucky's ribs, because that'll be easier to take care of quickly. Steve starts pulling out sterilized equipment from his kit, which is less like a home kit and more like an army field kit, because he's goddamn Captain America and his first aid needs are not like most families'. m
