   Summary

   "I'm doing okay." He said finally.

   "Lying through your teeth is what you're doing," Bucky knew he couldn't lie to Sam, but he insisted on trying for his own pride. "No one is doing okay, Buck, and that's alright." The snark his friend usually gave him was replaced with what Bucky believed sounded like genuine concern. Maybe Sam had gotten one too many dispatch calls about depressed, agoraphobic New Yorkers who were handling the new downtime and precariousness poorly.

   "Not bad for the end of the world." Bucky sighed.

   or, Bucky Barnes is anxious, agoraphobic, and living through COVID-19 in Brooklyn. The only thing keeping him sane is the skinny blonde Sam insisted would be the perfect socially distant companion.
