For how friendly Steve is, he really doesn't have a lot of close friends. He has a lot of loose friendships, a lot of people who he likes and who like him, but he doesn't open up easily. Not a lot of people really know anything beyond the kind smile that he doesn't really pull out in here.
It's odd for him to want to be closer to Bucky, but he feels himself falling easily into an orbit, anyway. Bucky seems to understand him and he lets Steve see him, too. He thinks it goes beyond the fact that they're both vets to something fundamental that Steve can't quite name. It's not just that they're both from Brooklyn, either, though maybe that's part of how they've managed to understand each other so easily.
He drifts off wondering if he can really hear Bucky's breathing or if he isn't just going crazy.
