Peggy kisses like she does everything else, with intention. She always initiates, never teases or demands just desires, making Steve open up for her on command.
Bucky’s kisses are like coming home, his lips familiar and safe, slotting together perfectly with Steve’s.
Dum Dum doesn’t kiss, he bites. Steve has never been more grateful for the fast healing from the serum than when Dum Dum gets his mind set on leaving as many marks as he can along Steve’s neck and chest.
Dernier teases with his kisses, barely touching skin as he murmurs softly in French. It’s gotten so bad that even the brush of his breath makes Steve shudder.
Steve doesn’t think Falsworth has ever kissed him on the lips. He’s kissed everywhere else though, and knows just what to do to make Steve scream.
Jones kisses sweetly, as if he has all the time in the world. (If Steve had to pick just one of them to kiss for the rest of his life, it would probably be Gabe, though he’d die before telling.)
And then there’s Morita, who doesn’t believe he’s allowed this. His kisses are hesitant and scared when he kisses Steve at all. Someday Steve will show him there is no reason to fear, and until then, Steve is happy to just hold him close during the nights when the shells are a little too loud.
Soulmate marks trigger with a combination of eye contact and direct skin-to-skin contact and are usually traceable to an event that is either directly responsible for the soulmates’ meeting or will be exceptionally significant in their relationship.
Steve and Bucky got theirs in before they ever spoke a word to each other, when Bucky was pulling Steve off the ground after he’d lost a fight with some other boys. They both have a white star on their left bicep.
Bucky and Natasha got theirs in the Red Room, and both had them burned off a dozen times before the Red Room finally gave up and just fried them out of each other’s heads. The marks didn’t disappear with the memories, though, and they both have red hourglasses on their stomachs. Bucky shot Natasha right through hers, after which she remembered him. She still hasn’t figured out if that was him remembering her, though.
Steve and Sam’s marks came in on the first morning when Steve was pulling Sam off the ground, a dark gray wing on their right forearms. Sam made a dumb joke about “on your right” and Steve tried to laugh, but was thinking about Bucky pulling him off he ground.
Steve and Natasha didn’t get theirs until the kiss on the escalator. It is, in fact, a black kiss mark underneath their left ears. Natasha thinks it’s hilarious but also is kind of annoyed it’s so visible. At the same time, though, it is STEVE so of course it is, she thinks.
Sam and Natasha got theirs in the helicopter. It’s Steve’s shield on the inside of their left elbows, which made him make a very undignified noise the first time he saw it. Very. Undignified.
The paint on Bucky’s metal arm started bleaching out the first time he punched Steve in the face with it. It’s an ugly streaky pink right now, most days. He doesn’t think about it very much.
Sam and Bucky still haven’t actually touched, but at this point, Sam knows it’s coming. He’s just not sure if Bucky knows it’s coming.
Bucky does not know it’s coming. Bucky doesn’t even remember Natasha, although obviously the scar in the soulmark on his stomach means the person it belongs to is already dead anyway. Bucky’s not even sure he believes the museum about Steve.
this scene is just golden because tony was never planning to reveal his identity as iron man. but right when blondie laughs and says ‘i never said you were a superhero’, she obviously hit a nerve and tony literally goes ‘alright, you wanna play? i can play’, LOOKS HER STRAIGHT FUCK IN THE EYE, AND TELLS THE WHOLE WORLD HE’S IRON MAN. A SUPERHERO.
