Bucky, you're not in active service anymore. You can choose when you want to bathe. [ Steve tried very hard not to let that get to him, the way the instructions were still so clearly embedded in his psyche and his consciousness.

Well, he did his level best, and had been far more productive in the last few weeks than ever before. But more than that, he was inseparable from Bucky, unwilling to leave his side -- SHIELD personnel learned not to ask; not even Clint or Natasha. He did not want pliant, reasonable Bucky, he wanted his old friend, his lover and soulmate back. He wanted him to come back to him.
