It pains me to think about Steve before the serum...

I was just thinking about the few scenes that we've seen of Steve before the serum, especially the scene were Steve has just come home from his mother's funeral and Bucky is trying to convince Steve to allow him to help. Sure look at the scene, watch the action, but then go back and rewatch it and look at the surroundings...how very poor Steve was, how very little but Bucky Steve had. How could anyone think that Steve - for one second - would not protect Bucky after everything that Bucky did for Steve. That one line - Even when I had nothing, I had Bucky - it is so very vital to everything that means anything to Steve....
