It was a good thing that Bucky kept the Corpore Metal logo hidden under his jumpsuit. Otherwise, Steve might not have been able to tell Bucky what he found out during this first week.
Roughly 30 minutes before their meeting time, Steve dunked his face into a sink full of cold water. The icy cold pierced his skin as oxygen bubbles escaped his lips. When he lifts his head again, he gasps for air. The sound, usually so quiet and unnoticeable, felt to Steve like it could be heard for miles. Anyone still up at this hour must also feel in their gut that the Wagon Wheel was eerily silent at night.
By the time he was back in his room, door propped open this time, his mind was clear again. Steve needed it to be.
When Bucky arrived, they resumed their previous routine quite naturally. Door locked and backs against the furthest bunk from the camera, the two of them spoke in a low whisper. But the first thing Steve noticed was how sleep-deprived Bucky looked — and was that a twitch in his arm?
"Are you all right?" He'd spent the first week paying so much attention to everything except for Bucky, and now, seeing his friend like this, the Captain was starting to question whether or not he'd made the right call.
