"I was... I'm so sorry, Bucky. I'll never leave you again."
Because how can he just explain to Bucky that he'd left because Bucky left first? That he wasn't even sure he would ever see Bucky again? One hand moved up into Bucky's hair, gently stroking it with his fingertips as he held his best friend close.
He's quiet, murmuring softly in Bucky's ear. His body shifts and he sits against the wall. If he had his way, he would stop at nothing to get the badness to go away and to just have his Bucky again. T'Challa had already told Steve that he could stay as long as he wanted.
That's what he planned to do. Steve's arms wound around Bucky and shifted the angle so that he was almost as close to Bucky as he could be in that moment with clothing still on. It was awkward, but it was tender and in that moment Steve didn't want to leave.
"Shhh, you had to go, Buky. And I had to stop Thanos." Leaning down, Steve kissed the top of Bucky's head, clinging to him. It was awkward, to be sure, but he wasn't going anywhere now.
