the subtext in this scene KILLS ME Steve clearly WANTS Sam’s help but doesn’t want to be the one to ask him to do it Sam is joking at first
there’s a twinkle in his eyes as he says that ‘captain america’ needs him when he clearly means YOU you steve rogers need my help
and he’s more serious as he continues that there’s no better reason to get back in that he believes in this fight ‘I BELIEVE IN YOU SO HARD STEVE’
and Steve can’t even handle it he has to look away ‘HE BELIEVES IN ME SO HARD’ I CAN’T EVEN BOYS#ugh#seriously#this is why i love#sam#and also what steve does to me#this is a very important moment#that i think k and i base a lot of our steve/sam interactions on#so yeah#cap#falcon#brotp#ftw
Yep. Sam believes in Steve. Even his “the kind you stop, not the kind you save” speech leaves the final decision in Steve’s hands, and Sam will go along with it, no matter what Steve chooses.
