"It is worth it," B has to agree. He doesn't think he'd be able to stop reaching out even at his most hurt and grieving. The months he spent isolating himself after the other Steve left him were the worst he can remember, outside of actual torture by HYDRA. He's learned that lesson. He doesn't do well alone.

That doesn't mean it doesn't still hurt, though. He ducks his head further under Steve's chin unhappily. Maybe he's clinging, right back. "If you ever do that to me," he says, a little muffled, "I am chasing you down immediately."
