It's a question to Steve, it's an outright fear to Steve, but he doesn't want to say that. This has to be strange for Bucky to say the least, and he doesn't want to show that much uncertainty. Neither of them need that right now.
He watches Bucky nod, slow and stilted and not at all like he usually moves, but at least he's listening. At least he's there to hear.
And there's things Steve could say, there's things he could tell him about how hard it was without him, and why he did this, but he doesn't. Hopefully Bucky understands, or at least knows the important parts. That Steve didn't mean to hurt him by doing this. That he'll be right there till they figure out how to make it work, every step of the way.
What he says instead is, "They're probably going to kick us out of here soon. Maybe we should head home."
