"No need for that, you just. . . I know you're tired of this kind of thing and you've more than earned a break," Steve said with a small, warm smile, "I'll go and help them out, but you don't have to, you can- I'm not winning this one, am I?" he interrupted himself sheepishly.

"I'm not staying here to 'relax' without you," Bucky huffed, "so let's get this shitshow on the road again. Sooner we go sooner everything can blow up and maybe we can get back to this vacation gig."

Steve caught Bucky's arm as he rose and pulled him in close for a hug, so grateful to still have Bucky, and still have him willing to follow - to help - as Steve did all those dumb hero things Bucky always bitched about.
