Bucky. That's all Steve wanted and needed in his life. Before the war, during, and even after, all Steve wanted was his solider. His Bucky.
After the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D. Steve kept trying to find Bucky to bring him home. Everyone was against this...

I quickly get to my location to meet Fury. I carry Bucky inside and see Sam standing next to Fury.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Fury called. Said it's urgent and now I can see why. Authorities are looking for you Steve. Reports are going out saying you just killed those people for no reason." Sam says.
"That's bullshit Sam and you know that. They said he's words. So I acted before thinking and just took care of the agent before shutting Bucky down. So I'm sorry. But Fury there's gotta be something that can be done. Surely authorities can see they are Hydra with the logos on them? Right?" I ask.
"Yes. They are in the process of that but they are looking for Barnes now. We need to get him in hiding and fast. The jet already has the coordinates for your location and it's tracker is turned off as well." He says.
"Thank you." I tell him.
Sam and I quickly load up and take off.
"Do you know where we are going?" I asked him.
"No. Fury wouldn't tell me." Sam says.
I just nod my head and pull Bucky close to my chest.
"I'm so sorry this happened to you baby. I promised to protect you and I will continue doing whatever it takes" I whisper to him even though he can't hear me.
Half way through the flight Bucky starts waking up and whimpering.
"Stevie" he says in a shaking voice.
"Hi baby. I'm here. It's okay."
"No it's not. Stop lying" Bucky whimpers.
"Babe, look at me please" I tell him.
When he looks up at me, I can see in his eyes how broken he is.
"You did not hurt me. I was able to shut winter down before you hurt me. Fury made a few calls and we are headed somewhere that can help you get hydra out of your head." I say stroking his cheek.
"Steve...I-I..I need to regress please." He begs.
"Baby, you never have to ask." I say kissing him. "Daddy has you." I assure him, picking him up placing him in my lap and wrap my arms around me.
"I love you Jamie, so much. You are so brave and so strong for everything you have went through. I promise we will get hydra out of your head. I promise" I whisper to him and rock him asleep.
Once he is out, Sam places the jet in auto-pilot.
"How's he doing?" Sam asks.
"He is broken. I can see it in his eyes how hurt he is mentally, physically, and emotionally. And I keep failing him. I was suppose to protect him from hydra and I couldn't do it again. How many times do I have to fail to finally do something right?" I say tearing up.
"Steve, come on man you and I both know you haven't failed him. You gave him a home, food, warmth, love, and have helped him recover. This is all Hydra. You cannot control them but you can take them down and I promise I will help you do whatever it takes to end them once and for all." Sam says.
"Even if that means following "Americas Golden Boy" down a dark path of killing?" I asked seriously.
"Yes. Hydra needs to be stopped and Bucky has grown on me a lot. So I will do whatever it takes to stop them." He tells me.
I just nod my head and continue rocking my baby back and forth keeping him asleep.
I am brought of out my thoughts again by Sam asking a question.
"You really love him don't you." He asks.
"More than you will ever know." I say smiling down at Bucky.
"What was it like? Back in the day?" Sam asks.
"Well everyone thought we were just best friends. When we finally confessed our love to each other we talked for hours about what we would do. We ended up deciding Bucky would go out on dates with other girls to keep up the image of us not being a couple. However, my mother knew what was going on. Bucky doesn't know this, but I told my ma everything. One night, Bucky had gone out on this date and I was terrified because the girl was so beautiful. I think her name was Eva. Anyways, she was crazy about Bucky and I always feared he would run off with someone else instead of wanting to be with a scrawny sick boy. After the dates he would always come over to my place and assure me about everything and that he wanted me. Well that night he didn't come over. In my mind I thought that was it. I not only lost my best friend but the love of my life. I was in the living room curled up on the couch with a blanket that smelt like him and was bawling. When my ma came home she saw me crying. She came over and pulled me into her and demanded I tell her everything. So I did. I was terrified she'd disown me, make me leave, or maybe even turn us in for it, but she didn't. She told me she's known all this time that I was in love with him and that she accepted me. She was so supportive that she opened her home for us to be open about our relationship and not hide. It was our safe place. The next morning, Bucky showed up with a single Rose and when he saw my puffy eyes he was concerned. He asked me what was wrong, and I asked him if he wanted Eva over me. Immediately he realized he didn't come over the night before like he always does. He explained that he found his sister crying after a date she had went on. So he took her home and comforted her. I of course understood because it wasn't like Bucky to not show up. When Ma got home, scolded him for making me cry until he explained everything to her. After she passed it was hard but Bucky was always there. Fast ward to the war and me getting recruited for the serum, Peggy took a liking to me. I enjoyed her company but it was never in the way the world thinks. She became a cover for us. If the army would have found out, we would've been shot on sight. So she covered for us. She helped us sneak around so we could have alone time together. When I lost Bucky, Peggy sat with me while I bawled my eyes out. Then of course you know I crashed the plane but it wasn't as heroic as everyone thought either. Yes I did it to save the world but I also did it thinking I would reunite with Bucky, but the world had different plans. When I woke up I was crushed knowing I survived and Bucky didn't. However, I was quick to realize that was a lie. We got our second chance at life but also in a world that is more acceptant of same sex relationships. He has also been my world and always will be. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for him. He's my reason for fighting, living, breathing, and loving." I finish telling Sam while playing with Bucky's hair.
