i know we all love the fics and headcanons where bucky is gentle with steve and takes special care not to be too rough or hurt him

but come on

bucky doesn’t hold back from pulling him into his side or into a hug that leaves steve surprised at its intensity

bucky is the only person in the world who saw how strong steve was before the serum and the only one who didn’t treat him like he was frail and weak

I’ve always loved the rag doll shake in the first gif, but have you guys noticed Bucky hook his chin over Steve’s shoulder and just … settle on in to the hug?

I never noticed and now I’m obsessed. It even looks like he’s throwing Steve backwards a bit with the force of the hug. I love how even though they’ve been friends forever Steve is always shocked by how forceful Bucky is with affection. Excuse me, I’m gonna stare at this gif forever now. 

OMG I’ve never noticed. That’s adorable. Bucky just plops himself against Steve, almost like he’s sagging against him for a second. Now I just keep seeing that back pat as Steve’s way of going, “It’s alright, you big lug.” Cuz I’m not seeing anything that could note Bucky doing the same thing with either of his hands. Seems more like he’s full-on clinging and Steve’s just like Bucky omg.

Bucky is 100% clinging in that hug.  Bucky was shipping out, he knew what his chances of survival were.  As far as he knew, this was going to be the last moment he ever saw his best friend.  Steve’s being all stoic ‘you’ll be fine you big lug, go dancing with the ladies, of course you’re coming back’ either because of denial or just because he has to believe it, or needs Bucky to believe it, but Bucky…Bucky is leaving home, leaving Steve, know that if he dies chances are his body will never be recovered back to the States and that Steve will never know where his last resting place is, and he’ll  have been the last in a string of people to ‘abandon’ Steve.

Bucky is clinging like a monkey

tiny comic about bucky’s insecurities. as he recovers, bucky’s upset he can’t revert to exactly who he was before hydra. sometimes, seeing how he used to be with steve in the 40s unnerves him. he feels like he can’t be steve’s best friend again. steve realizes this and, fortunately, knows how to comfort him. he understands the feeling. completely inspired by @ladypeg!
