I know a lot of people have talked about Steve doing that deliberately, and Destina wrote a great Thundershield fic about it, but I just...I hate that kind of thing where an author of a text says that something is true outside the text but they didn't have IN the text (like JK Rowling, etc.). Which is not to say you can't have your headcanon, it just burned me that it was played so coy in the movie and I've never believed it. (I mean, that same scene has Tony making rape jokes, so...) (Also I just hate Joss in general so I'm easily affected and have been nursing a grudge for years. I am pathetic :-D )

For me the best part of that was him and Thor being shield brothers again. Thor's glee about that.
