Waking up from decades of brainwashing and facing the horrors committed by his own hands - and missing one of them but that's something he can deal with later - has not been easy for Bucky. After Steve broke through to him in DC, Bucky had run. He barely knew who he was and he wasn't ready to deal with all of his issues and regaining all those memories while being perceived so closely by his best friend. He needed time to himself, and he barely even got that, not with Steve knocking on his doorstep, asking for his help.
He's never been able to say no to Steve, and that's something that's remained inside of him since the very first time that they'd met.
Of course Bucky fought alongside his best friend and former lover against his team, of course he'd defended him during their fight with Iron Man - who was so much like his father that Bucky could barely believe it - and of course he'd followed after Steve when he'd dropped the Shield and ripped the star off his uniform. Now, they've taken refuge in Wakanda, with the new King and his sister. Bucky's got a brand new arm and he's been weaned off the drugs and the suppressants he'd been forced to endure while captured. they've been working on his trigger words, and he's been working on adjusting.
He enters their small shared home after one of his appointments with Shuri, some sort of child genius and calls out, "Steve? Hey pal, I brought food." And that's been another thing to get used to, especially in Wakanda, but Bucky's found that he likes it.
