Well, Steve doesn't have a lot of experience with hugs, either. But he does his best, wrapping his arms around Winter and thinking it's both good and weird, holding him like this. Being bigger. But definitely not bad.

Especially not when Winter leans into him, face pressed to his shoulder. It sends a little thrill of warmth through him, even as he lets out a quiet breath and murmurs, "You'd be okay."

Maybe not great, for a while. But okay. Winter - Bucky - is a survivor. Somehow, they both are.

But even so, "I don't want to leave you." He knows that, deep down, more certain than anything else. Things have changed, and he can't - won't - take them back.
