Steve returns the hug, establishing as best he can without words that he would be there for Bucky.

When the hug breaks, he looks Bucky in the eyes.

"First of all -- I don't like 'sidekick'. Partner works for me... same as always." He gives his friend a playful punch on the shoulder.

"And as for how I'm doing..." He pauses. "I'm... okay. I've been leading the Avengers. I've tried a couple jobs to live a 'normal' life, but they never really worked out. My responsibilities always won out."

He's also confused as to where things stand with the women in his life right now, but he's sure that Bucky doesn't want to hear about that.
