Steve asks questions he doesn't know answers to, and he's not sure whether he should be angry at Steve or himself.
Steve Rogers, his oldest friend -- the man he couldn't let die when it came right down to it. Bucky will end up disappointing him, over and over again, in a hundred thousand little ways. But he still squares his shoulders, meets his eyes. They're both afraid and hurting, and he's not sure if there are right answers to anything. ]
