#and maybe plot-twist bucky disappears from the gym for months

[amarriageoftrueminds]

Ficbunny: Bucky as the nice cute guy who's always asking Steve for advice in the gym and then just... walking away?? never hitting on him?? ...but becoming steadily more & more swole because of the advice and Steve is slowly going mad from sexual frustration

#stuckbunny #ficbunny #au idea #dat's me #stucky #steve rogers #bucky barnes #release the cracken #steve's inner monologue: god why are the straight guys always so nice and sweet and oblivious and hot so you get ur stupid gay hopes up #bucky's inner monologue: god I bet that poor adonis gets hit on all the time at the gym well I'm not gunna be that asshole #and then he comes to really rely on steve's work out input and is like 'fuck I can't risk losing this if I ask and he say sno' #eventually steve brings nat in as the ultimate 'is he 💁‍♂️?' test #and she is the one who figures out that bucky is definitely not looking on purpose to be nice because even straight guys check steve out #and maybe plot-twist bucky disappears from the gym for months #only to then reappear like 'hey steve look I took up X hobby instead and it's finally made my body as incredible as yours let's date!!' #how would this be tagged? #self-inflicted torture? unrequited slowburn? #OR IS IT?? #yet each man queues the thing he loves #me seeing the number of people going wild for the concept of NOT being hit on at the gym: oh this is sad
