[ Dying is dying, no matter what you're doing. He's already gotten you killed once, Bucky, he doesn't want it to happen again. And with the way things are on this island.. Steve takes a deep breath, and looks at him -- really looks at him.
His best friend -- the only brother he's ever had, really, the one person he trusted the most in his youth and adulthood, the one person Steve trusts the most at his back and at his side. The thing about being the person who dies? Is that you don't have to be the one left behind. It's always harder on the ones left behind. Dying is the easy part.
There's no getting Bucky to back down, though. Steve knows this, has experienced it multiple times, and despite being frustrated with it, he's also.. glad for it. The normality of it. He isn't happy or pleased, not by a long shot, but he does give in, nodding slightly as he glances away. ] I told you were taking all the stupid with you.
