[Steve hadn't held on to him tight enough, hadn't reached far enough, and that's how he lost him the first time. That's when the worst of it happened, because even if Steve still had to put that plane down in the ocean, you can be damn sure that Bucky Barnes would've been on it with him.
He's reorienting himself now, to the hotel, to Bucky, his home. Steve grows still when he feels the brush of his lips, like he thinks he might spook him if he moves too suddenly. It's not uncertainty. He remembers this, just the start of it before he left. Well, "restart" might be a more apt word. Steve kisses him back to ease the last of Bucky's fears, and what terrible things they must be to scare the Winter Soldier. But he lays them to rest before pulling away.]
You should move into my room so we can keep an eye on each other. It beats you hanging around outside the door all the time.
[Steve smirks gently at that. He knows him to well.]
