[Underneath it all, Bucky knows that Sam wants to chase Clint, to save him from this horrible sleep. Sam wants to save all of them, but there's only so much one man can do. Bucky feels Sam's power activate; it would be impossible to not feel it with how entangled they are in each others' minds. Squeezing Sam's hand seems like too little in the face of the loss occurring right in front of them. Just as Sam pulls, Bucky moves forward and he all but scoops Sam up to his chest, arm curled tight about Sam's waist. Don't go anywhere. Don't chase Clint. Stay. Stay here with me.
Accepting what he said will take time, but so do all things. Bucky will wait as long as Sam waits for him. He loves Sam more than himself, more than life, more than he ever thought possible and he doesn't want to lose Sam to anything or anyone.]
I mean it.
[He doesn't often have the opportunity to voice his feelings, especially out loud. The programming only allows for so much, but they've fought against the chilly remains of HYDRA time and time again.]

You're enough, Sam.
