[ It's life. Nothing's ever gonna be a sure thing, not really, but this? What they've got right now, it's probably one of the closest things they're gonna get to it.
Sam believes in Bucky. In his ability to not just survive, but thrive, and to keep coming back. And if one day he doesn't, well.
It's just more reason to love him as much as he can right now, to enjoy every moment they've got left. It's not an unfamiliar concept for Sam, considering he knows Shiro is going back to his planet one day, but that - that's more immediate, more inevitable.
They can fight the programming. Bucky's stronger every day, and Sam knows it's gonna take years and years, but he wants to be there for the ride. Every last minute of it, so neither of them ever has to do this alone.
He smiles a little at Bucky's hand on his jaw, tilting his head into the touch. ]
You said it. [ He opens his mind again, another gentle tug on their brood bond. ] (Come back?)
