[Bucky welcomes that squeeze of their linked fingers, helps to draw his focus away from his thoughts. The twins were a pretty good idea, he supposes, a last minute idea but a good one. They give him a little more life at the end of a long mission like Hyrypia, when he feels entirely drained.
As they walk, Bucky silently counts their steps. It's not that he's afraid of getting lost, but more that he knows how fast the Soldier can move, how quickly miles can disappear underneath a machine's feet. By the time they stop, he feels satisfied with the distance and even more so with the quick kiss pressed to his lips.
He doesn't want this to be the last time that happens.
With a nod, he pulls his hand free of Sam's and stands a few feet away- enough to hear Sam, but not within arm's reach.]
