Why does everyone in the 107th think Bucky is queer, even before Captain America shows up? The excellent fanfic "Tete-a-tete" by Odsbodkins explores why. It also describes the real backstory behind that black-and-white newsreel footage of Steve and Bucky laughing together. You'll never look at that moment in the movie the same way again, LOL!
Excerpt:
They got Bucky and Steve lined up, camera rolling, and Joe said, “It must be strange for a couple of boys from Brooklyn to end up sleeping in a French chateau.”
And fuck, it wasn’t fair, it was less than half an hour since Steve had been fucking him through the mattress of the biggest bed he’d been in in his life, and this was all too fucking ridiculous. He couldn’t help his smile, and then made the mistake of turning to Steve as he started to try and answer, and saw Steve’s bright, shining grin. That was when he lost it, and started to laugh and couldn’t stop.
The sun was shining, the air smelled of honeysuckle, he was in love, they were outside a fucking country palace, and now some guy was filming him to be on the newsreels that everyone on their block back home was going to watch.
Every time the guy tried to ask a question, he just cracked up again, until eventually the director said, “You know, we’ll overdub it with something about childhood friends sharing a joke. At least you look actually happy, not like some of the miserable bastards we’ve got to film. Right, let’s get some shots of the bunch of you looking impressed at architecture.”
As they were rounded up, Steve whispered in Bucky’s ear, “Never been so glad I didn’t give you a hickey.”
