Bucky froze when Steve stepped up next to him, then closed his eyes. He breathed out and shook his head a fraction of an inch to either side. "No, it's fine. Let's just get home." He looked over at Steve, "Would you grab the big bag? We need a kennel and a dog bed and then we can go."
His hand shook as he put the small back and put his back to the woman. He didn't want to look like he was about to collapse, which he certainly felt like doing.
The puppy got up, as if sensing Bucky's emotions and put her head on his knee with a whine.
Despite all that was happening right now, she was a huge comfort and for that, Bucky was undeniably happy and relieved that his research had been right. She was able to distract him and could tell when his emotions were getting to him, the memories of eyes on him, cameras capturing painful or humiliating moments, becoming too much.
Once the biggest bag of puppy food was in the bottom of the cart, Bucky turned the cart, pushing off determinedly for the kennels and dog beds.
