Damn it, it feels a little on the side of unfair to have both Jet and Sam looking at him like that. Jet's careful please is merged with Sam's understanding, tempered with clear encouragement. For a moment he just stiffens up, a little like a deer in headlights before the tension bleeds out of his shoulders.
It helps that Terezi moves herself from the centre to one side of the hug, opening the possibility to Bucky to not have to touch her.
A sigh is bitten back as Bucky gets back to his feet, circling around the room until he's coming up on Jet's extended arm. Being around his friends sometimes feels like he's caught in the tidal force of a whirlpool and struggling will only do him good for so long. "Because you said please."
Just because of that, except not really. There's a part of Bucky that could really do with the comfort, that really wants the comfort on offer. The part of him that went lonely and untouched by kind hands for too long, now ripped raw again by the loss of Steve to Capitol hands. He let's himself sink against Jet's side.
