[ Sam's glad for it. It'll take some getting used to - not putting the weight of a choice Steve hadn't technically made yet on him. And it's not that Sam begrudges him. In fact, if anyone deserves peace, it's both Steve and Bucky respectfully, after all. It's just that...
It's just that Sam wishes they could have done this differently. Wishes Steve had stayed a while longer, helped move things in the right direct.
And if not that... then he wishes Steve had at least asked if Sam wanted this. Had said goodbye so that Sam could wish him well. He wants nothing but the best for this man, at the end of all things. ]
Yes, mother. [ It's a joke, and when Sam pulls back from the hug, the smile he gives Steve is earnest, if incredibly tired. ] I've had a shitty... 5 days about now. Not gonna lie, I'd be glad to let someone prod at my broken bones for a bit.
