Summary
If Bucky had trouble recognizing Steve in Azzano, it was understandable. His bearing, the timbre of his voice, his vitality, and hell- even his height was wrong. But the eyes, the ambition, the look on his face when he pulled him from the table-- These things, they let Bucky know who he was in a matter of moments.
If Steve had trouble recognizing Bucky after breaking him free from Azzano, it was only after careful scrutiny and a few days' worth of observation. The eyes, the sly remarks, the look on his face when he pulled him from the table-- These things, they let Steve know he was still the Bucky he'd grown up with... But something was wrong. Seriously wrong. His bearing, the hoarseness of his voice, his increasing weakness, and hell- even his posture was strangely subdued. Bucky was hurting. He figured it was just shell shock, right?
It was only a matter of time before Steve would find out. And maybe, Bucky thinks, he should never have broken him free in the first place. Maybe he should have left him to die, again, strapped down like the animal he's fairly sure he has become.
