Summary: Bucky and Steve have known each other all their lives, but since Steve left the Army, they haven't kept in touch much. Mostly because Bucky has no idea how to process the fact that Steve decided to become a priest, and what little he and Steve have talked has done nothing to make it clear to him.

After being hurt and captured on a mission, months of torture made Bucky decide that he wasn't going to die without telling Steve how he felt about him. He knows nothing will change, and maybe it's unfair to put it on Steve's shoulders, but his profession means he has to deal with confessions all the time.

But how things are away from Steve are different from how things are being with Steve. And being with Steve is really all that Bucky wants.
