Bucky Barnes / Steve Rogers (MCU)
It was a relief to see Bucky and not feel this heavy feeling in his gut, this unknown mystery of wanting to know how he felt and all the while being terrified of it. It was out there and Steve was surprised by the amount of healing that had happened as a result. It was easier to be like they'd been before, a little carefree, still close but without that edge there.
"I know, I didn't think you'd come," Steve said as he thought about Bucky and how far he'd come. Clint was good for him and Steve liked seeing them together, seeing Bucky have someone to look after him. "I bet, there's a lot of weird stuff to see," Steve said with a glance at the poorly dressed characters standing up the strip. Sort of like that convention but terrible. "Not really my scene here. I worry about leaving and not coming back," he agreed with a little nod. "But with everyone here, you, Tony, Gwen and Pete, it seems less risky, you know?"
It took all of twenty meters to find a place to grab a drink and Steve ordered something in rum and pineapple before he paid for their drinks. "What about you, enjoying it here?"
