He leaned against the counter, staring at the wall in his bathroom while Bucky stepped under the spray and he was relieved he at least knew that much. All those years Bucky cared for him as a kid, as an adult, it looked like Steve was finally going to be able to pay him back and the man didn't even remember what he did to deserve it.
Steve turned his head to him at the words, keeping his eyes on Bucky's and he nodded, expression full of sorrow. "Hydra killed Howard," he corrected, rubbing his face with his hand. "You didn't know what you were doing. All you had were orders. They pointed a weapon in the right direction and pulled the trigger. You're not the person that killed him."
The problem was going to be getting everyone else to see it.
