[He has to think about it, but the memory isn't quick to come to him, and he has no energy to search for it. He huffs a sigh.]

No.

[He's leaning against Steve a little more heavily now, without even realizing it.]

[starspangled]

Might not be such a bad thing.

[Steve starts to joke about it, until he feels Bucky's weight pressing a little more against him. He gives him a gentle shake, trying to ignore the way it's getting harder to feel his own fingers and toes.]

Still with me, Bucky? I need you to stay awake for as long as you can, okay?

[wipedclean]

[The shake makes him blink, wakes him up just a little, but only a little.]

Trying...

[He swallows hard, muttering.]

I liked it better when it happened fast.

[starspangled]

[Steve likes it better when it doesn't happen at all. But he can see that Bucky's trying, can feel the cold in his own body.

Talking about winters in Brooklyn can't be helping. Maybe talking about some warmer weather will.]

Do you remember anything about the summers? We used to go up on the roof at night. It was easier to breathe up there.

[wipedclean]

[He's so tired.

So tired.]

Hot... humid...

[He remembers it being that way, even if he can't remember what it felt like.]

[starspangled]

Yeah. Nothing like New York in the summer.

[They used to complain about it back then, but right now there's something wistful in Steve's voice as he talks about it.

There's something distracted too. He's reached for his locket, texting something out.]

Stay awake just a little longer, okay? Gonna get you warmed up.

[wipedclean]

I can't...

[His entire body is shutting down, and he can feel it. It's a testament to his willpower that he's managed to fight it off for this long. His eyelids are so heavy... he feels more tired than he can remember ever feeling before.

His eyes start to slide shut.]

[starspangled]

[Steve checks his locket again, slides from the blanket carefully so that he can fold his half back over him. He feels the chill in the air almost instantly, the way it's unnatural and cutting.

It doesn't matter. He can't let Bucky slip back into the freeze, not when he's had to endure it so much. Steve cups his face in his hands, like he can somehow send the warmth from his own body into his friend's]

Johnny's coming. He said he can warm you up, and the other people here too. I'm gonna go look for him, you just - Bucky?

[wipedclean]

Steve...

[He breathes out the name, but it's his last word. His eyes slide shut all the way and he succumbs to the cold, as gently and easily as falling asleep.]
