could steve being incapable of discerning what tony means (even when tony isn’t doing that Obfuscate As Self Defense thing) be the reason why he hasnt slept with tony yet? like tony really could say “steve i want to have sex with you” and steve would be like “there goes iron man being cryptic and sending mixed messages again! surely he meant something else! how could he be attracted to me, after alll? i have to ask natasha about him, he’s so confusing sometimes!”

steve: 😦 he’s trying to tell me to quit pushing his buttons

*now has many thinky thoughts about Steve Rogers and Night Watch and Young Sam Vimes*

The third gif is what keeps getting me.

He sees all these people getting on preparing to attack him, and they are all the faces of men he has worked with over the last few weeks and months, maybe years.  Men he’s trusted.  Lives he’s saved.  Comrades in arms.  His team, as much as he’s had one.

That is the look of bleakness, as someone else gets on and Steve thinks, “You?  I liked you.  I thought you were better than this.  Oh god, don’t make me do this.”

(Sometimes the person that you’d take a bullet for is behind the trigger)

But these aren’t people he’ll lie down for.  This is a fight he’ll pick his shield up after.  There’s nobody in this elevator he loves enough.

This whole scene is a masterpiece of subtle acting and one I don’t think Chris Evans gets nearly enough credit for. I mean, you can see the moment the penny drops and it’s minutes before everyone in that elevator thought it would. (I get the feeling he gets underestimated a lot at SHIELD—he’s big, he’s blond, he’s the man out of time, what can he know?) But that mind never stops working and the minute the penny drops, he knows what he’ll have to do to survive.
