[ One of the dangers of being too much in each other's heads, shared nightmares. It's not the first time it's happened with Sam, but it was probably the most intense - and Sam's not sure if that's because of their brood bond or just because he and Bucky have been completely inside each other's heads.
It doesn't matter, really, because Sam'd be out here the same even if he'd just heard Bucky waking up from his nightmare.
Bucky'd wanted to try. He is trying, and hell but Sam's grateful for that. He doesn't really know how to tell Bucky that he doesn't think he can do this without him, not with what he can feel pouring off Bucky in waves. Of course, he figures some part of Bucky might know that, seeing as Sam can't exactly hide it from him - but they don't gotta talk about it, at least, when Bucky's caught up in guilt and fear and panic.
He knows how well it goes talking with Bucky about what he deserves even on good days, let alone after a nightmare like that with everything else going on. So he stays quiet there, for the moment, and instead holds out his hand, fingers splayed in invitation.
Breathe with me, he offers, a silent impression across their bond.
Then maybe they can talk about that willing to take knocks for a weapon shit. ]
