there's nothing else left from that life. it's just Steve.
[ He has people he's met here. He's not entirely alone with Steve and he knows it, but Steve's the only connection he really has to the man Bucky Barnes used to be, especially with Peggy gone, too. ]
[ And maybe he's going to mope a little before he drags himself out of it, because Bucky--other Bucky--is right, but he figures he's allowed to be a little maudlin right now.
He's survived much worse, even if he feels a little lost right now. Maybe he should have known better than to let himself get too comfortable. He doesn't fucking know, but he's a survivor if nothing else and he's not going to just stop. He's got to keep going for himself and the shred of identity that he's managed to get back and he has to do it for Steve, too, so that when Steve and Peggy come back it isn't to some sad mess of a man they have to take care of. ]

Also pretty sure Steve wouldn't want you moping on his account.
