[ The distance between them felt deeper than just physical and it pained Steve worse than anything else possibly could. For months, he dreamed about having Bucky in his life again and to make things right for him. Never again would he fail his best friend but hadn't he already judging by the look on Bucky's face?
It hurt worse than not having Bucky in his life at all.
Keeping his hands loosely at his side, he tried to not feel hurt by Bucky backing away from him. They were never so unsure around each other but they had HYDRA to blame for it, didn't they? ]
You're Bucky. [ Steve responded as if it cleared up everything. ] You saved my life again. You're the same punk you've always been and if you let me I can help you figure that out too. You don't have to be the same person, hell, I'm not either, but that heart of yours hasn't changed. No one has ever changed that and never will.
