Steve took as much care as he could while handling Bucky's pants - sure, he'd been carrying Bucky around and spending pretty much 24/7 in his company, but he knew that didn't mean Bucky would feel comfortable with being touched in certain places after what he'd been through. He hummed his thanks as Bucky moved his hips, and together they managed to get the pants up around his waist.
Steve nodded at the other requests, smiling. "You got it, boss," he said genially, though he paused when Bucky went right ahead and pulled the oxygen line off his face. Steve tensed, ready to move if Bucky wasn't doing okay with the help breathing, but he didn't fall over, and so Steve just resolved to work as quickly as possible so they could get the thing back in place. He was sure it was a pain, but breathing was also a good thing.
He moved to pull the shirt on quickly but carefully, hands moving gently over Bucky's left shoulder and what was left of his arm as he tugged the bottom down to meet the waistband of the sweatpants. Then, before Bucky could protest, he'd put the oxygen line back in place - he wasn't going to take any arguments - and glanced around, grabbing the hair tie the nurse had brought in and pulling Bucky's hair back into a neat little ponytail at the back of his head - at least, as neat as he could make it. Steve had always had short hair, but at least creating a ponytail wasn't overly challenging.
"Feel better?" He asked, coming back around to Bucky's front.
