"What?" was all I asked.

He clenched his jaw and shook his head. The air around us felt thicker and I swallowed hard. But then I was held back when he looked at me.

"Steve, he called me Bucky. We were..... I tried to kill him. He was my mission. But something inside my head told me not to kill him. There were a flash memories in my head, I saw him with me. I knew him. But I tried remembering further more of him, of me. I don't remember me"

His right arm was resting on the other one as if trying to figure out where did he get it.

Does he have an amnesia?

"Why can't you remember? What happened to you?" I moved closer hoping to get an answer again. But I have to be careful. He's a stranger and I don't know if he's just giving me a false statement.

Then, he leaned his head lower avoiding my gaze. If I have to squeeze him and let him remember everything he needed to, I would literally save a lot of patience. Look at him, he looked so helpless despite of being a strong-looking man.

It feels like I'm getting myself in trouble with him for digging up his forgotten memories, but I also trust myself no matter how hard will it takes. And I think he needs me.

"Your wound, I should... It must be cleaned again. Wait here" he said and stood but I stopped him. I grabbed his metal arm, he sucked in air and turned to face me.

It felt really cold, it is huge that I couldn't even meet my fingers. But I was glad that he didn't snatch it back, he just let me hold it. I looked at his eyes and nodded reassuring him to stay.

"It's okay, you don't have to do it"

"But..."

"Bucky"

His name was like a feather in my lips. I think he must get used to it, being called Bucky.

I removed my hand from his, and I felt like I regret doing it. By looking at him, he may give you the first impression of do-not-touch-me idea, but all I am thinking now is intertwining my hand with his to rest assure him that all will be well.

"Bucky, you can trust me. Those memories you are trying to recall, I can help you with it. Just tell me what you know, okay?"

Take it or leave it, this is my choice. I have made my mind and I'm gonna help him bring back his memories. Whatever it takes.

"Okay" he nodded.
