I had another thought about Steve in Endgame

[lunabee34]

I think Bucky knows what Steve is going to do at the end. I think they talked about it before Steve left. Why else would Bucky hug a guy who's only going to be gone for 5 seconds and tell him he's going to miss him? That also explains why he sends Sam forward to Steve on the bench rather than rushing forward himself. He knows Steve is going to pass the mantle to Sam because they've already talked about it and how he's going to bring back an intact shield with him since Thanos chewed his up.

What do y'all think?

I agree completely -- the way Bucky hangs back when he, not Sam, is Steve's lifelong friend, suggests that he was in on it all along. Sebastian Stan's expressions were subtle but, I thought, very clear. Of course, I suspect that Bucky may even have made a good surmise about Steve being with Peggy, too, having been around when that was starting.

That's the only thing that makes him not freaking out or seeming worried at all make sense.
