Re: Steve and Bucky
"You were dead. They told me you were dead!" Steve said in a voice that sounded more panicked with every passing second. He fought back the tears that threatened to form, worried that crying would set Bucky off even more than he had been. Vincent rumbled unhappily from his lap, but the dog had been around enough panic attacks to not get worked up himself. He just licked at Steve's hand, trying to comfort his owner.
"They didn't know how strong I was going to be and I got away. I came back with Aurors, but the building was empty. It was like it had never even happened. I swear to god Buck, if I'd known you were still alive I never would have stopped looking for you!"
Trying to hold back the tears was quickly closing up Steve's throat, leaving him panting for breath and starting to feel dizzy. His stronger body was no match for his broken mind.
