[Bucky tries to just zone out while Steve's in the shower, focusing on the sandwich and the music and the comfortable couch instead of the messy tangle of emotions and bad memories. It's hard, because he's tired and confused and maybe a little scared, because he doesn't really get what happened. Or what's happening.
Steve's worried, too. Bucky can tell even if he hasn't said anything about it directly, because Steve knows how little he's sleeping and just knows him better than anyone. He knows what's normal behavior and what's not, and he knows what happened to him during the war, and it bothers Bucky to see it doesn't really look like Steve's appetite is as crazy as it usually is, like maybe he's too distracted or worried to eat. Or he's just not hungry, which he thinks is way, way more unlikely. He knows Steve just as well as Steve knows him, and so those ten minutes stretch on awkwardly while he tries to eat and calm down enough to make things worse.
He's done with his sandwich by the time Steve comes back out and he smiles again, trying to make this as close to normal as possible.]
What song is this? [Mason's been trying to update him on stuff he's missed out on, but he doesn't recognize this at all. He could always get up and check out the iPod, but that requires moving, and he's pretty sure that's not in the cards right now.

Or for a little while.]
