[Bucky's almost silent as they slowly make their way out of the infirmary. It's taking all the effort he can manage just to keep putting one foot in front of the other, and the closer they get, the more he finds himself leaning into Steve. His head aches, and he's a little dizzy, and broken ribs really fucking suck.
(It's probably a good thing he hasn't eaten in a while, otherwise there's a decent chance he'd be throwing up on himself, or Steve, or both.)
But he's a stubborn pain in the ass, so it's not until they're about halfway there that he really starts losing it. He's exhausted - stress, injury (and his body already trying to repair itself), the fact that he hasn't slept or eaten in a while all kind of pooling together to the point of where he almost feels drunk. He staggers and starts to slip a little when they hit the bottom stair, blinking rapidly and trying to clear spots from his vision.]
One sec. [Bucky tries to tighten his grip on Steve, shaking his head and then grimacing when right, that's really not a great idea.] Just need to get my breath back.
