Bucky knew that Steve would latch on tighter than a limpet and refuse to let go, and he's not so sure that's a good thing for either of them. Steve is going to want to fix him, he's never going to understand that Bucky's changed over there, and it's going to frustrate and upset him.
Bucky's going to want to be the person he was before, and seeing his failures reflected in Steve is going to make it all a hundred times worse. He knows he's going to feel like a piece of shit by the time this is done, because he can't give Steve that easy companionship he wants. Not yet. And it's not because he doesn't trust or love his best friend, it's just because he needs to relearn how.
He looks sad and tired, but he nods all the same. Steve is going to have to find out for himself that Bucky is different, and it's going to hurt them both.
"Phones can be bugged," he mutters, knowing full well the look he'll probably get for it. "Besides, you've never seen Robert Downey Jr. at the zoo, you saw that guy from the schwarma stand that copies his beard."
