[ There weren't many things Steve feared after all he had been through, especially since waking up from being iced over but losing Bucky struck right into his heart. It terrified him and he knew he couldn't withstand losing Bucky for a second time. ]

I can promise it. No one is gonna hurt you again, jerk. They can try but they're going to fail. [ He reached over to squeeze Bucky's human arm, trying to convey the things he couldn't easily put into words. ] You've got a lot of other people who will go to bat for you. It's not just me but you got me. You got me till you're sick of me.

[ He gave a tiny smile, bumping Bucky's shoulder lightly. ]

Till the end of the line, pal.

If this includes us being together now, do you wanna run some errands with me or will that be too many people around?

I don't get it, [ Steve he gets. Steve has always been like this, stepping up to the plate for anyone being bullied. But Bucky isn't. He's just had the misfortune to be a Hydra assassin for ... well, for a long time. You'd think everyone other than Steve would just want him put down. ] Why would other people go to bat for me?

[ He automatically bumps back, with his left shoulder this time. As much as he hates the thing, it'd been a part of him since 1945. The worst thing Bucky can do is shy away from it. It's his, just like all the bloodshed. ]

To the end of the line. [ He echoes, then reaches up to ruffle Steve's hair. ] And I'd never get sick of you, punk.

I could try running errands. See how things go.

[ While the others were wary about Bucky at first, they trusted his instincts and once they realised the truth they wanted to help him. No one should be used against their will and most of them knew what it felt like all too well. ] They know you don't deserve to be used. You deserve freedom as much as the rest of us.

[ Heart squeezing, Steve offered Bucky a smile small, leaning into the touch for a moment. ] We'll take it slow, okay? If you feel uneasy at any time let me know and we'll leave.
