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.

I’d just like to state my deep appreciation that someone dated this thanks to fashion history. God bless fandom.
