“How’s he doing?”
Caught. Steve swallows, though the rush of rising feeling in his stomach isn’t guilt—it’s nervousness, excitement. Awareness bordering on hope. He can tell it shows on his face; he can tell his smile burns something earnest, tell that he walks taller, nowadays. Ever since Bucky’d agreed to stay in the Tower.
Bucky. Waiting for him upstairs. Safe, where Steve can find him. Where Steve can keep him close, shield him from the pain and darkness he’d found the strength to crawl out of. To start crawling out of.
God, but Steve’s proud of his Bucky.
“Rogers?” Natasha’s voice curls upwards in question, bemused.
He can’t help it if his face flames even more; he’s a blusher. “Uh,” he starts, “Bucky? He’s…” and he trails off. Well, shit. How was Bucky?
