    Summary

    "I'm not the only important thing. I can't be."

    Steve shrugged uneasily. Bucky was the most important thing, and that was what mattered, wasn't it? But Bucky seemed to be trying to get Steve to admit that there were other things in his life. "I just left you for -- what was it? three days? four? -- to go fight another alien invasion," he pointed out. "You're not the only important thing."

    Bucky snorted. "Oh, saving the world gets a mention, too; that's nice."

    Frustration flooded him, hot and restless. "Well, what do you want me to say?" Steve demanded.

    "I want you to say that you are important!" Bucky exploded, waving his hands, then visibly restrained himself, pulled himself in tighter and lowered his voice if not his intensity. "I want you to realize that you can't make me happy while you're sad, and that if you'd grow a pair and talk to me then we could probably both have what we want!"
