Summary
Peter forces a smile, but he can still hear it:
‘No, no, no, please, not him, not him, c’mon—’
He looks at Bucky and is instantly hit with the old Bucky face. Full block, expressionless wilderness, a six-lane blacktop of good luck guessing what’s going on back here. Miles of unreadable. The expression Bucky rocked for at least a year, when Peter was shiny and new to this, before all the smirks and smiles crept in, and before he was allowed to guess out loud what was behind them.
“You got to me fast,” Peter says, echoing Tony’s words, tone a touch flat. Trying to make it fact, not feeling, seems to be working. If Peter was to make this feeling, he doesn’t think he could deal. At all. Fact is safe. Fact is extremely not a feeling.
Bucky gives him a clipped nod.
“You got to me very fast.” Peter’s own addition this time. He’d seen the video. It was very. Very.
Retrospect: noun, the act of looking back and going 'oh fuck, that's what that was'.
