[ Bucky's mind isn't just wrapped up in safety, but also in the general struggle to remember at all. At first, he hadn't even known who Steve had been to him. Now, he still doesn't remember everything. It's okay, though. He remembers the important parts and he trusts Steve to fill in the rest when he can't.

Peggy, too, has been nothing but welcoming and kind and he's got no reason to see her as anything more or less than the smart, capable, good woman he'd always seen her to be. She's a lot like Steve in some ways and maybe a little bit like Bucky, too. Maybe that's why it's so easy to get along with her and feel at ease. It's not just that she'd known him before. Much as he'd grown to really care about them, he doubts he'd feel this comfortable if Dum Dum or Gabe were here.

He rests his elbows on the bar, mirroring her.

I wouldn't dream of leaving you without the best company I can provide.

[ It's easy to joke, but it's a nice change to do it because he can and not because he's deflecting. ]

[ He takes a moment to think about that question. He doesn't feel like much of a sergeant anymore, but some days he barely feels like Bucky Barnes at all. Peggy and Steve make him feel a lot more firm about who he is. It's like they can see it, so it must be true. After being on his own for so long, more questions than answers and only his guilt and nightmares for company, he welcomes the feeling that someone is looking at him and seeing something good. ]

No, it's okay.

[ His metal hand fidgets. He thinks he'd tell anyone else not to, but she's different and she makes him want to be different. ]

Bucky's fine, too. Long as no one's trying to call me James, I think we're good.
