[He should...probably be doing this in person. But sometimes you've got to just take the easy route.]
i'm sorry for getting mad at you before. i was scared and i reacted the wrong way you're my friend, bob. i don't have many these days, but you're one of them. and nothing that happens here is gonna change that
[Though whether Bob still feels that way after what he's going to say next, he doesn't know.]
i wouldn't hurt greer. i know that but i can't be sure about any of the others. the methods fit for some of them
when i get taken, when they put me in the cage, you can't be there i don't know if i'll be killed, but i don't want you there to see it please
[Not going to mention the fact he's planning to leave his arm with Bob before that too. Can't risk something happening to it, and he trusts Bob to keep it safe.]
it’s okay i was mad at you for no reason you’re you’re my friend too no matter what happened
[ when he went missing and nobody looked for him, when OXE reported him dead and nobody cared — bucky, yelena, and the others came back for him. more than that, bucky’s the person he bonded with for the stupid cult’s rituals, if only for a week or two. thrust into his head, his heart. one of his people, when he’s only ever been alone. ]
okay will you come back before you have to go
[ and spend the time danny and saber used to do harm with him, instead. ]
you know, i used to argue with becca every other day i was her big brother, so that's what we were supposed to do didn't change a thing about how much i loved her so you speaking your mind? ain't gonna make a dent in what we've got, pal
[Friend, team, family. It's all the same to him, these days.]
[ i was her big brother hits harder than bucky intends, probably, on account of bob still struggling to parse the fact of bucky barnes. thunderbolt, avenger, former resident of the nineteen-fuckin-fourties.
especially when their relationship, too, bleeds across categories. like with yelena, all he knows is that bucky is important. somehow essential now. friend, family — ]
good cause you’re stuck with me until those freaks come get you
[ that’s his only plan for the evening. half flopping atop bucky on the sofa. ]
when i'm back the three of us should talk there's a lot you deserve to know, and i want you to hear it from me before this place decides to tell you instead

ani and jake have been looking out for me
