[ Sam lets out a huff, reaching up to tug lightly on one of Bucky's braids when he nudges him. ]
(Didn't transfer anything, sunshine, just took a little bit of the edge off. I'm getting good at the small stuff. And you know if you're in pain and there's something I can do to help that don't hurt me, I'm always gonna take it.) [ He opens up his mind a little so Bucky can feel it that he's being honest - if there ever was a twinge of pain transfer at Sam using his ability, he hadn't noticed, and it's long gone.
And he keeps it open, widening their connection until he can sink a little more into their brood bond - wings tucking themselves around Bucky, a quiet invitation to come in, to focus more on the shared space that's just there's.
Sam's never been one to tell Bucky that it's okay when it isn't - and it's not okay. None of this is okay, and he honestly doesn't know when it's gonna be okay again. But it's - they're here.
They're here, and they're together, and the rest of the Nest is a dim echo, and Sam just wants to shut it out even more, to curl up here with Bucky under the blankets and let himself disappear into their brood bond. ]
(It's you and me. There's no place better than that.)
