Steve frowned a little at that. Well, that was some pressure. He knew that if it came down to protecting Bucky and staying on his side... he'd do the former over the latter. But he still didn't like the idea of letting him down. "I hope I never have to," he said quietly. "But I can't be the only person you're okay being around. I mean - eventually. I'm not rushing you to get better, that's not my place, and I don't think it's the answer, anyway. But," he moved closer, ready to help if Bucky needed it, but also ready to let Bucky take care of everything on his own, if he wanted to. "You need other people in your life, too. Not everyone's going to let you down."
