˗ˏˋ analyzing 𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙗𝙪𝙘𝙠𝙮𝙨 excellence: a detailed 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 ˎˊ˗

first, let’s talk about their first appearance in the mcu :

bucky more or less “saves” steve from getting his ass kicked, which we soon learn that it’s a common occurrence.

you can see that as soon as steve goes down, bucky wildly appears to help him out. from the next scene where they walk off the alley, you can see it’s a long alley.

buckys able, but he wouldn’t have been able to cross that distance between steve and the bully in such little time without being noticed.

wheErE am i going with this you’re asking?? it’s a possible tidbit of how well they know each other. bucky must have came to (+)

pick him up to go to the expo and then dancing. of course he didn’t see steve in the theater, because he’s steve. bucky knee to go to the alley first, and when to step into help. it’s a meaningless thought but shows how in sync they were.

let’s look at the small tidbit of bucky telling steve his orders now

we’ve all thought about this scene a lot. a lot can be said about bucky’s body language. the way he avoids steve’s eyes for a second after steve asks him about his orders shows how many emotions he has over the whole thing that he’s not willing to show steve.

we’be all basically scraped that up to bucky wanting steve happy, right?
riGHT
but it also shows how bucky isn’t ready to say it out loud, especially to steve. he doesn’t want to accept it yet.

that’s why he quickly changes the subject, of course reaching(+)

out to touch steve because bucky before the war was an affection person; he showed and hid his emotions through his buckyisms. steve must have known that because he dropped the matter.

okay next we have the scene where steve saves bucky from the hydra camp

at first, steve doesn’t rush in like he usually would. this could mean two things: one, he’s making sure it’s really bucky and two, he’s scared bucky is dead. as soon as we hear buckys voice come on, steve is rushing to buckys side

bucky is reciting his identity, like most prisoners of war did/do so they don’t forget who they are. this obviously foreshadows the winter soldier. but it also shows how scared bucky was of dying. he was terrified. with the sound of his voice it’s obvious he’d been drugged

and the writers never really went into detail with that, but bucky must have known what was put in him.

let’s get down to the soulmatism of this scene:

when steve says “bucky” he’s obviously winded, a little breathless. the serum shouldn’t make him breathless like that(+)

unlESS he’s been running for a really long time. it’s his emotions that make him short of breath. he’s so overwhelmingly relieved to see bucky breathing he can’t breathe right. and thats on home of sexuality

bucky also is so out of it that he doesn’t know it’s steve until steve

really touches him. it’s an important scene because it’s when bucky meets captain america, which will change his life forever

also who cups his best friends cheek like that??? sOULMATES I TELL YOU

now: bar scene baby

first, it’s bucky facing steve as steve walks into the less crowded, more quieter room. the two are in there for a reason; privacy. it’s probably their first time that they’re able to have a conversation that isn’t really about what they just came back from and they(+)

want to do it alone, with no prying eyes.

you can see as steve is saying his whole “jaWs oF deaTh” spiel bucky let’s out some sort of physical acknowledgement when steve refers to himself as “captain america”. bucky obviously has unrevealed feelings about the whole situation.

now, after bucky gives his “that little guy from brooklyn” speech, steve doesn’t look away. the only time steve does look away, is because someone approached them with a drink. maybe steve would have kept staring at bucky if the bartender hadn’t served him

and we all know that “youre keeping the outfit, right?” is flirting

next up: bucky falling

drop your socks and grab your crocs we’re gonna get slippery on this one

there’s so much to be said about this scene

first, let’s start with what i’ve been preaching this whole thread: sOULMATISMS!!

the shared looks, silent communication. not many friendships can pull things off like that, and if they do it’s usually because they share a more (+)

intimate relationship.

bucky falls and steve doesn’t make a move to leave the door of the train, like any sensible person would. he’s just lost his sensible person though.

after we see steve trying and failing to get drunk, which is pretty un-steve like. but maybe that’s(+)

because he did loose his clarifying person. bucky kept him in line: he kept him steve.

now that bucky was gone, steve was just captain america.

this is a long thread as is so if you made it to the end ty for listening to me rant about them

i might make another/ add onto this thread talking about them in the 21st century but for now take this
