[Wow. Great job there, Barnes. Truly excellent work.
His Ma, God rest her soul, would probably kick him in the pants for being such an insensitive jerk. This was why he had always been taught not to judge what's on the outside, because you never knew what another person had to live with. Asthma was bad enough, but thyroid issues and even heart problems... Jesus, it was even more impressive that he was in the shape that he was in and still going.]
Sorry.
[It was muttered out before the rest of that caught up with him. Gay. Rogers was gay. Why did he have to say that? Before, Bucky had been able to tell himself that the reason he stood no chance and shouldn't go for it was because the guy was straight, now that had just been blasted into smithereens. And, even worse, right as Bucky managed to make himself seem like a total asshole.]
You must think I'm a world class jerk. I shouldn't have said anything.
