Spooning

Sometimes Bucky is the Little Spoon . . . .

And sometimes Steve is.

Judging from that smile on Bucky's face, SOMEONE must be sporting morning wood! Bucky's going to have a good start to his day.

The Non-existent Hug in CA:CW

Captain America: Civil War has been quite rightly criticized for its lack of physical affection between Steve and Bucky, even when a hug would have made perfect emotional sense in the storyline.

There were several logical places where a hug would not have been out of place, like here when they share a moment before heading into danger at the Siberian stronghold where Bucky had been imprisoned for so long as the Winter Soldier --

Or how about on the escape flight to Wakanda when Bucky is so seriously wounded?



But the most logical moment was when Bucky is about to enter cryo again, leaving Steve alone and lonely in the world once more. The lack of any physical contact whatsoever in this scene is glaring and emotionally dishonest.

Of course, there was one hug in CA:CW -- the defensive move by Steve and Bucky to fit both of themselves behind Steve's shield when under attack in Bucky's Bucharest apartment. The underlying message of this scene is that hugging is allowable under threat of death but not to express genuine emotion between Steve and Bucky.



Even then, the embrace is fleetingly observable and easily missed. I like this representation of what their momentary embrace looks like from above --

That Man Bun!

Bucky looks good in a man bun, there's no doubt about it.

There's just something so sexy about the bare nape of a neck . . . .

Steve likes Bucky's man bun too.
