I'm passionate about everything, [Steve says in a momentary burst of honest self-analysis. He is, he really is. Everything he feels, he feels with such a deep and dire importance it's a wonder his pre-serum body could contain it all. It's also what gets him into trouble, nine times out of ten. Before Project Rebirth, he was held together with passion and stubbornness. Now, it's a fuel that continues to fire his quadruple-speed metabolism.]

Y'wanna see how passionate I am? Oh-hh! [His eyes widen at that lick, then flutter closed when Bucky sucks on his fingertip, utterly lost with just that little gesture. His free hand drops to clutch at Bucky's thigh, hips arching up toward him out of pure instinct.]

...oh god. You sure--is this okay? I wanna--I really like that, Bucky.
