Bucky leans forward a little, smiling. "Yeah. Goats can be jerks, but they like me all right. That's Gotta mean something, right?" He's doing better, wants to think he's doing better. "The kids who live around here are fun, too. You ever meet any of 'em? They get a kick out of me, so I know they'd feel the same about you." He trails off, shrugging a little. "Y'know. Ask you lots of questions, like how you met King T'challa." It's obvious from his tone Bucky hasn't exactly been honest with that question.
"I don't want you to get by on your own," Bucky murmurs, reaching his hand out to brush at the side of Steve's face. "'End of the line,' you know?" It's a simple life, but is one Bucky has come to enjoy. "I'm with you, pal. You're not alone."
He leans in, closer than he needs to, his hair long enough it falls on Steve. "I was told, early on, it's important to have people you trust. Can't lean on 'em, that wouldn't be fair, but a support structure. We ain't exactly the healthiest of guys, but we've got each other." The intimacy is probably more than obvious, considering he's still touching Steve's face.
