Bucky doesn't know if that's true, he's seen too many bad endings happen for people that he cares about to believe that just because he wishes hard enough that Steve will be fine. But he needs to keep saying it, keep trying to believe it, for his own sake as much as for Steve. Because if he thinks about losing Steve, he might just break in a way that he can't be put back together again.
"We'll find the dog and we'll work out what it gave you, and then we can work on an antidote. You just need to keep calm and tell us if anything changes, even if it's something little."
Like feeling hotter, or a bit dizzy, or-- anything. Anything that could be an early warning sign for bad things to come.
"I swear, Steve, I ain't giving up, so you shouldn't either."
