[ Maybe not word-for-word, but he'd used that exact treatment on Steve. He gets it. He's a hypocrite.
She's right, of course. Friends don't look out for each other out of obligation. The last two years of Bucky surviving have been lonely and dirty and confusing and having a warm place to sleep and honest-to-God friends there who have his back? It's almost too good to be true and definitely more than he deserves, but he might be too selfish to deny himself, anyway.
Steve finally catching up to him in Bucharest really had broken a lot of his resolve and he knows it. He couldn't have gone back to running after that. Just seeing Steve's face in person again had been too much. ]
I hope so. I don't think I really have a lot of friends left anymore.
[ And he's not sure he remembers how to make more when some days he still barely feels like a human being. ]
