The snort makes him laugh. "You shut up, punk, you're just as good as I am. At least we're both freaking out together." While he wasn't as ready to swear as Bucky was, he had the same scary vibe inside. "At least the kid will be like you, right? Life circumstances that they didn't get to choose." He had made his choice, but Bucky didn't. He will always feel that little pang of guilt for not being able to stop the fall.
"Groot. His name is Groot." Steve lowered his voice, making it sound gravelly. "We. Are. Grooooot." Which caused him to cough and take another sip of his beer. "Hey, it's not just us. There's a whole town of people that care and would want to help you, you know."
"Groot, right." A shake of his head because how in the hell is this his life now? "It kind of reminds me of home, back when we were kids." Back in buildings crammed with people and neighborhoods that all looked out for each other.
"It's not a bad place to raise a kid."
Safe from HYDRA, safe from SHIELD, safe from anything that might have been chasing David.
"It does, doesn't it." He laughed lightly. "All those tenements with everyone squished in together. We were the lucky ones, only two in an apartment," he teased. "Still was good though. I had you."
He sighed. "It's not bad here. A lot of extra babysitters..." His voice trailed off a little. "We can do this, Bucky. I'm not going anywhere."
