Bucky frowns more than a little at that - it's probably pointless to argue with Steve that he's not dreaming until he sobers up at least a little (and he didn't think Steve could get drunk like this, so who knows how the hell long that's going to be, if whatever he's been drinking has knocked him on his ass).
At least Steve still seems to know how to pay, because... Bucky hasn't figured that part out yet. He will. But right now, he's just got bigger problems. Like shifting so Steve can actually get an arm over his shoulder and Bucky can get his arm around Steve's waist.
"Let's try for someplace closer first, pal," he says, and his voice is doing this weird mix of exasperated and fond, which is probably still completely missed on Steve. He gets them moving, though, before he answers the second question. It has nothing - nothing - to do with the lump in his throat at the feel of Steve as a real, solid, warm, breathing person next to him.
"I was just holding onto it for you," he says. "That's all."
God, it's gonna be a long trip to his room.
And how can he even complain? This is Steve. Steve is here. Right here. Alive.

This is so fucked up.
