Bucky drops Steve's hand to wrap an arm around his shoulder and pull him in for a side hug. He gives his arm a squeeze as he does it and smiles at him. "Isn't that your job as my boyfriend? To protect my arm from being stolen by space pirates?"
He's teasing him, he's pretty sure that he can handle that bit himself, maybe. He hadn't actually had to worry about it though until Steve said it in this completely non-joking manner that made him a little concerned about it. The new arm was nice, and there was no way he'd be getting another one out of Wakanda after the mess with Zemo.
Of course Bucky misses Nat too. Or the person he knew as Nat years before, that he never had memories of until after the blip and she was gone. He never mentions it to Steve because it doesn't matter, and he still had no idea of she'd even remembered herself.
So he just tries to support Steve the best he can, because that's what friends are there for. So his two goals for the day were to make Steve laugh and figure out his favorite animal, and that's what they're going to do.
