[It's not that he's come to consider Bucky a friend, exactly-- Jimmy doesn't make friends easily, and there's still something uneven about where they both stand on the barge. But he's a soldier, and that's something Jimmy can understand better than friendship. A buddy, then, maybe.
He's in the infirmary every so often to get painkillers for his leg, and he's there now, too. He hadn't hear the message yet, and so it's a shock, mostly, to see Captain Rogers lying in a hospital bed; to see Bucky next to him, dead-eyed. You don't ignore a buddy when he looks like that, so he doesn't.
He comes up to the bed, his limp less pronounced than usual thanks to the painkillers Kylar had gotten him, and looks at Steve when he speaks.]
