[Honestly, he is fuming, it's just... different now. He can't express himself the same way he could before, and Steve's joke sort of falls flat because of it.
He doesn't know what to do. He'd barely known how he's supposed to be Steve's partner when he's like this before Steve had gone and gotten rid of the serum, and he has no idea how to do it, now. Not really. Not when Steve's used to being basically invincible and is way too cocky for what he's like now. At least the old Steve had had some vague sense of his limitations. Sometimes.
Sometimes.
So he fidgets uncomfortably, shifting like he's trying to get comfortable, and still doesn't look over at Steve. He has no idea what to do, or what to think about what's going on apart from really not being okay with it.]
Do you really think this is going to change anything?
[The question comes out sort of hollowly, maybe resigned.
Maybe another part of the problem here is that Bucky's not really fully with him on this, because he definitely doesn't want some kid with magic powers using him like a puppet.]
