I just noticed that in the scene where the boys are mourning Nat at the lake and Clint is yelling at Thor, Steve is just sitting there with actual tears streaming down his cheeks. It’s this part from the trailer that they cut down a few seconds in the film:
He is full on crying. We’ve only ever seen Steve cry one other time and for Peggy’s funeral. He just lost a best friend and partner. Someone who had stuck by him through thick and thin when he didn’t have anyone else (Bucky, the team, etc.). Someone who cracked jokes with him, helped him take care of and lead their surrogate family. They comforted each other in their darkest hours. Hell, probably cooked each other dinner when the other person was too exhausted.
And the last thing Nat ever said to Steve was: “See you in a minute”
And she was smiling with excitement, giddy to do something way outside her pay grade. She got to go on space adventures and time-traveling with Steve and her family. And Steve smiles back at her joke, fully expecting to return with Nat standing beside him once again.
Because she was always there at his side, from the very beginning he got out of the ice.
And this here is the face of a man who realizes his longtime partner post-ice thaw is now gone. His friend… his surrogate family when he had none other…
He looks at the spot where Nat had been standing right beside him just earlier… where she had promised to see him in a minute… and Steve knows that the person who stood beside him all these years… is gone for good.
And remember their conversation at the beginning of the film?
Steve: “I think we both need to get a life.”
Nat: “You first.”
And he does.
