Bucky relaxed when Steve's hand found the small of his back and could barely care about how affectionate the sight might be, how much the rumor mill would start to churn again. All he really cared about was that Steve was warm and familiar and wasn't asking anything of him right at the moment.
He clambered into the back seat with the puppy, wrapping his arms around her neck tightly, burying his face in her thick scruff of fur.
The woman who had been taking pictures approached the car, phone held out in front of her. "Captain Rogers, can you give me any information on Bucky's state? We haven't seen much of him at all. How is he handling the loss of his arm? Has he seen the photos his kidnappers released? Have you?"
Her phone was obviously videotaping the conversation, the camera fixed on Bucky huddled in the car even while she interrogated Steve.
Bucky could hear her but didn't dare turn. Didn't dare let her get his pale, teary face on film. He decided to let Steve handle the woman, knowing if he tried to confront her he would probably have a panic attack on the spot.
