_{headcanon: Bucky never actually remembers anything, but he becomes aware that he’s forgotten. Steve does not get his friend back, not really— but he gets something, which is better than the alternative. Bucky is different in almost every way, but there are things that don’t disappear; mannerisms, the pitch and timbre of his voice, the way he purrs like a cat in the first slats of sunlight, the way he smells like old linen and soap after a shower. They are the small things that were uniquely Steve’s, and he finds them there, dusty and safe— stored on the lowest shelves of muscle memory and what could be something like the soul. (It took so long to find them, so much coaxing and no sudden movements— and maybe he’s just got the Winter Soldier now, in all his confusion and attempts at normalcy, muzzled and trying to be something other than an enemy)
It’s familiar and jarringly different, but worth it, Steve thinks, worth it.}

ok, ok so this is more than Bucky asking Steve to move in with him:

All you gotta do is shine my shoes, maybe take out the trash…

he’s asking Steve to move in with him rent-free. how much you want to bet Steve was going to art school at the time - so on top of having his mother die, he was going to have to quit school to support himself. And there’s Bucky saying you don’t have to do this alone, let me help with what I have…

#(also for the love of god somebody tell us what year this is supposed to be) (via legete)

hardboiledmeggs and I were discussing this, and she suggested mid-1930s, based on Bucky’s hair (slicked back) and attire. Can’t see it here, but he’s wearing a wide tie, and a (double-breasted?) suit with wide lapels, so I would guess around 1938, which is when the heavily padded shoulders and wide trousers came into vogue (in part due to the popularity of gangster films, which is what I thought of when I saw Bucky’s outfit). For reference, that makes Steve 19 and Bucky 20 when the scene takes places.
