I definitely do
I think you just
turn it into something cool somehow in your head maybe


omfg you'd kill me

not literally but like

well also maybe literally eventually

[personal profile] counterstep 2024-07-27 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
you're sweet
I'm glad

I mean I think the fact that I functionally haven't had to worry about it much for this long probably means that wouldn't actually happen to anyone

but I am glad I'm being picked last anymore

who'd believe me even if I did?
it's just a you and me thing
no one else needs to know shit


wow neither?

I mean
if I didn't do a good job, I'd understand




sorry
counterstep: (what is box)

[personal profile] counterstep 2024-07-27 07:06 am (UTC)(link)

never mind
sorry

oh my God don't just say that ( what if people hear read it??? )

they were real but like I haven't done anything like that in decades and I know I fumbled a lot too, even with you being patient with me

I just
I'm not sure why you would want to stop that stuff now, but if that's what you'd prefer, I was just trying to say that I'd understand why you might want that, even if it wasn't for a challenge
counterstep: (well well well)

( alex is just texting stuff like it's okay to just talk about the intricacies of sex, and bucky is doing his best to not throw his phone through the wall. he needs to pause repeatedly as he replies to remind himself that this is probably normal now. communication is the in thing, right? so. so.

not that it stops him from turning red as he's typing back. )


it's not dumb! that would be really
really fun
I think

I'm just not used to talking about anything like this
at all

it kind of wasn't really a thing
sex was just sex
making babies
and you just do it the same way cause you're not supposed to talk about it

or well you're supposed to feel ashamed when you
talk about it
look

I'm just
I'd like it okay so it's not dumb and you're not dumb I'm just not that smart maybe


that's the stuff I like most when I'm with you too
the reactions you have and
saying my name
the way that you do

I could never hate you, Alexander
you're stuck with me

[personal profile] counterstep 2024-07-27 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
well yeah I know people have been fucking around forever but I'm like
the most stereotypical white guy from the 30s so why would I do that?

you're not dumb
stop it

if anyone's dumb about this it's definitely me, not you
I'm the moron who never questioned his preferences because I had it too good

I love you too okay
so goddamn fucking much I'm not even sure I'm doing any of this right
spending time with you is something I love though
not something I put up with
counterstep: (happy new year)

[personal profile] counterstep 2024-07-29 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
I mean I was always aware of it
I was never not aware of it

when your best friend is someone like Steve, you think about a lot of that stuff more than most
just don't expect me to know what it means to be anything else automatically
is gay-forward a real thing or a pun?

I hope you like it
truly

if it's not good though I can always get you something else
counterstep: (wait)

[personal profile] counterstep 2024-07-29 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
it makes me uncomfortable
the stuff people have written about me and Steve

Steve apparently doesn't really care but
I guess I always thought more about that stuff than he did so maybe that's just my problem

well I would want you to really love it and not just be like here is this random thing he got me and I love that he got me anything
counterstep: (слушать)

[personal profile] counterstep 2024-07-29 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Erika's your best friend, then?
I do
but I'm also a public figure so it's not exactly something I can control regardless


it's not soap
I can't ruin your Old Spice-y sort of smell anyway

I love how you smell with all of it mixed together
counterstep: (суждение)

[personal profile] counterstep 2024-07-29 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what kind of spice things are in now
I just only know Old Spice being the spicy thing


God I don't even know the name of my aftershave...
some cheap thing I found
that I barely use


( he mostly just smells like cheap soap instead. but ocean-y since that's apparently what the industry thinks men smell like. ocean-y or woods-y or like some sort of dirt or leather. it changes sometimes depending on what's on sale. )

does she know about us?
counterstep: (are u mad)

[personal profile] counterstep 2024-07-29 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
I knew I recognized it
we had that before also
Nivea

I haven't really used cologne since the 40s though
honestly, a lot of stuff nowadays is scented very strongly so I'm not really sure that I need to do something else for it unless I'm trying to be something or whatever

( which is to say he's not something in his own eyes. it's fine. don't worry about it. )

it's fine if you want to hide me
there are good reasons why people would want that

I know the norm is to say that that's not okay but I'm not going to pretend telling everyone I have a significant other isn't going to make waves both publicly and in the dark

and not that I don't think you can defend yourself with your psychic shit but I'm not going to willingly make you a target for anyone
like any of those people deserve to know about my love life anyway
counterstep: (designs)

[personal profile] counterstep 2024-07-30 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
what do I smell like to you?
no like
trying to have a life and stuff

sensitive isn't the word I would use but
yes I would tell you since I'd assume you wanted to smell like those thing

and I don't really think you smell like either that much
cigarettes after you've had one or two I think? but after it just fades and I smell you
like YOU you


I don't have a lot of people I'd tell left
which is really to say none

maybe Sam? if things get potentially dangerous for you

( and steve's gone. he doesn't say it. but he's thinking it. repeatedly. )

do you think he'd try to use me against you?
I'm trying to understand the worry
