[ Sam starts moving forward again, chasing the feel of their bond growing stronger. After this, if Bucky even so much as hints that he wants Sam gone, he'll go - at least for another day or two - but right now he can feel Bucky moving closer, too. And Sam would never leave Bucky alone to deal with anything like this, whether it's a flashback or a side effect of the programming.
Buchanan seems to realize that something's up, and he keeps still, butting his head against Sam's arm where Sam's holding him as Sam keeps petting him, keeps sending the sensations through their link.
He keeps their connection wide open as he feels it grow stronger, an open invitation for Bucky to slide into Sam's mind if he wants - at the same time as he lets himself flow more into Bucky's head, hands in his hair and feathers against his skin as he tries to give Bucky something to keep himself grounded in. ]
