    Summary

    Steve's life has been hard from the beginning. His father left when his ma was still pregnant. He's bound to turn out an Omega, which means he's got a life full of creeps wanting to try it with a male Omega and birth control that's not designed for boys but given to them anyway ahead of him. His mother works constantly to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table, the looming recession making everything more expensive than it needs to be. The only good thing is his best friend, who genuinely likes him, who might even love him, but even that gets taken away from him before he has a chance to actually grow up and explore it.
    So, he's old for his young years. He's practical. He understands that sometimes you've got to take what you can get and if there are mishaps, then deal with them. He deals with it. Life doesn't give him lemons, it rains lemon juice when he's scraped his knees. He deals with it. He moves through life with anger and hatred. He hates pity. He hates that nothing is fair. He hates July. He hates that he's a liar. He hates the army that took Bucky from him.
    He hates the colonel on his doorstep, looking at him and Bucky's son with pity, telling him Bucky is missing in action, presumed dead.
