[Sounds like Steve and Kira could get on quite well, too. But, well, Lucifer....]
[He can't get himself to even speak hearing Steve's fate. He's already seen enough people to die, the thought of being aware as Alexiel, would be similar enough. Sympathetic, he presses his face into Steve's hand, then leans in to hug Steve tightly, again.]
[When Steve talks more about Bucky, Setsuna starts to cry again, but this time he starts to laugh, too.]
I wanted to be like Kira, too. I always looked up to him, because he was so laid-back and charming. He saved my ass a few times. I was always getting in fights. [He leans his head on Steve's shoulder and mildly smiles.] If it wasn't for him, I'd've been dead. Several times over.
Even I wondered why someone like that wasted time with me, when he was older, and it was clear I was just a hindrance to him, sometimes. [And then his smile fell completely.] He died protecting me.
[His voice drops to a near whisper as he turns to Steve's ear.] I'm so sorry, Steve. I don't think this conversation is easy for either of us.
[Setsuna sighs with relief. Instead of pushing away, he clings to Steve even more, once he's done tickling him.]

It was not fun! It was weird!
