Kal and teenagers are usually not a good match in the beginning, I always say that and of course Bucky was no different. Kal tries so hard but in the end he ends up saying things the wrong way and having them kick him on the face later, and that’s exactly what happened with Bucky.

Kal is also extremely anti-war and pacifist! So he sometimes comes across as condescending when talking about stuff like that and he’s aware of it, but it’s hard to shake those habits off. And Bucky is (to Kal’s eyes) a kid still, so it’s double the awkward for Kal.

I honestly think it will take long for Kal and Bucky to reach a middle ground, not because he dislikes him (quite the opposite) but because there’s too much differences between the ways they see life. Kal is a sweet boy from Kansas who grew up being stronger and faster than everyone else, and Bucky is a hard-trained soldier. They both want to save everyone but in very different ways if that makes sense?
