i-will-not-be-caged:thechrisevans:May 14, 2013Somehow I’ve never noticed the SHIELD logo on his tiny tiny shirt before? And now I’m thinking maybe it wasn’t Steve buying shirts in the wrong size. Somewhere inside SHIELD is a requisitions officer who was put in charge of outfitting Steve Rogers with 21st century-appropriate clothing. They have all of Steve’s measurements and they realize he’s actually a it difficult to fit, what with the giant shoulders and tiny waist. They could go up a size in the shirts, but they would be baggy and kind of frumpy. Plus the temptation to go with the smaller size is just too much for them. When Steve comes to try on the clothes, he’s a bit skeptical. The requisitions officer assures him that yes, this is the proper size. 21st century fashion is very different, you know. And he certainly doesn’t want a whole lot of extra fabric flopping around him when he’s working out, does he? No one ever mentions anything to Steve because really, why the hell would they? Even after Steve starts buying his own clothes, still in the smaller size, people just smile and enjoy the view. Natasha considered enlightening him, but decided she’d rather just sit back and watch the whole thing play out. And every time the officer happens to bump into Steve at the Triskelion, they smile at him and give themselves a mental pat on the back for a job well done. (When the Triskelion falls, the requisitions officer sides with Steve, of course. They even take advantage of the opportunity to whack their boss over the head with a stapler. They always knew there was something off about that guy.) It’s not until Sam starts teasing him about his tiny shirts that Steve begins to suspect. -- source link
