Part of him always worries that he's not the best thing for Bucky, that he's holding him back or just becoming the man's new master, both things Steve would never want. Though, moments like this, Bucky doing things unprovoked, making some choices and reaching out, it gives him some reassurance that despite any set backs Steve might present, Bucky is still able to find himself.
"Yeah, I am, thank you, Buck," he gives him another small smile.
