Bucky's voice was rough and sharp just for a second. He didn't want to hear Steve talk about normal things, or ask after him, not right now. He wasn't Peggy Carter, he couldn't discuss dance dates while someone he cared about was staring death in the face.
And he did care. He no longer could deny it even to himself. There was enough Bucky in him to know Steve was a friend, enough memories to back it up.
"How could you let yourself get caught outside? You're smarter than that."
