THURSDAY

f.greene: (7:18 PM)
okay, I can't keep it in anymore

f.greene: (7:18 PM)
update on captain america and his boyfriend

b.hill: (7:19 PM)
excuse you, I haven't seen anything since the huge news last week

s.park: (7:20 PM)
love that that's your objection and not the messaging us about it after we've gone home for the night

f.greene: (7:20 PM)
well, you didn't have to answer

s.park: (7:20 PM)
if you say so

f.greene: (7:21 PM)
anyway, it's not public

f.greene: (7:21 PM)
rebecca messaged me a bit ago because apparently she and captain america have been scheming about getting his boyfriend a cat

s.park: (7:22 PM)
huh

s.park: (7:22 PM)
wow, they're just figuring out all sorts of shit while he's halfway around the world

s.park: (7:24 PM)
more power to her, but I don't think I'd want to be part of springing surprise reveals about his love life or unexpected pet gifts to someone who's that good at glaring and has his history

b.hill: (7:24 PM)
yeah, that's a fair point

b.hill: (7:25 PM)
if captain america's with him, he can't be that bad, though

s.park: (7:26 PM)
didn't say he was bad, just that he's not somebody I'd want to annoy

b.hill: (7:26 PM)
so wait, are you giving a kitten to captain america's boyfriend-sidekick???

f.greene: (7:27 PM)
I think so, yeah

b.hill: (7:28 PM)
that mental image is just ridiculous

b.hill: (7:28 PM)
I cannot imagine him with a kitten

b.hill: (7:28 PM)
the captain, sure, absolutely, but not him

s.park: (7:29 PM)
big intimidating 6 ft tall supersoldier allergic to smiling with a tiny kitten? yeah, neither can I

f.greene: (7:31 PM)
I couldn't really either until he asked if he could facetime with me to see them, because the pictures rebecca sent apparently weren't sufficient

s.park: (7:31 PM)
wait

s.park: (7:32 PM)
you facetimed with captain america's boyfriend so he could look at the kittens????

f.greene: (7:33 PM)
yes

f.greene: (7:34 PM)
it was cute, he's really not that scary or glarey

f.greene: (7:35 PM)
at least not when he's looking at kittens

b.hill: (7:36 PM)
did you seriously facetime with captain america's boyfriend/sidekick so he could get cute over some kittens??

f.greene: (7:37 PM)
yes

f.greene: (7:38 PM)
he's uhhh very excited about the whole thing

f.greene: (7:39 PM)
two of them were kind of cuddling in their sleep when I got the camera on them and I thought he was going to spontaneously combust with joy

b.hill: (7:39 PM)
awwww

s.park: (7:40 PM)
yeah that's kind of incredible ngl

s.park: (7:41 PM)
god though does captain wilson ever fucking slow down??

s.park: (7:42 PM)
I'd've thought he'd be busy, between all the new team captain america stuff and the frenzy about him confirming that he's dating his sidekick

b.hill: (7:43 PM)
yeah, you'd think

s.park: (7:44 PM)
have you talked to him, too???

f.greene: (7:45 PM)
no, just bucky

f.greene: (7:46 PM)
(god that feels weird to say like we're friends, but he told me to call him that when I stumbled over what to call him at the end of the first call)

s.park: (7:47 PM)
wait, how many have there been???

f.greene: (7:48 PM)
three

f.greene: (7:49 PM)
he wants to facetime to see them again this weekend and come meet them on Monday when he's back in town, he's obsessed

b.hill: (7:50 PM)
good fucking god

f.greene: (7:51 PM)
yeah, on one hand I'd usually be like "dude you have to chill" but here I'm kind of just enjoying the novelty of a superhero texting me because he wants to adopt one of my kittens

s.park: (7:52 PM)
I think that's about the right reaction

s.park: (7:52 PM)
want company when he comes to meet the kittens?

f.greene: (7:53 PM)
oh my god

b.hill: (7:54 PM)
that's not a no, so can I come too?
