[Steve has lived in a variety of places ranging from the barren to the opulent; Tony hadn't skimped on the Avengers headquarters, to say the least. But these days he doesn't stay in one place for long, and the places he does stay don't have much. Steve Rogers has as much money as he needs and then some, though old childhood and wartime habits of making a little go a long way die hard. He still keeps it simple, getting by with a minimum. It's a protective camoflauge that Bucky will understand all too well.
It's also probably unnecessary. Numerous governments are after him, sure, not least his own. But without help--very specific help--they probably can't find him. And while Steve does live somewhat on the run, he knows very well that if Tony really wanted to find him, he'd already be found. Which is...a whole 'nother mare's nest of its own, really. That Steve lies low is more a matter of courtesy than paranoia, frankly. They've hurt each other enough.
So while he has bolt holes and safe houses all over, for himself and Sam and Wanda, he's never as comfortable in any of them as he is here. Not because Wakanda is probably the one place on Earth where Tony Stark can't trace him, but because of the company.
No surprises there. He's always been happiest when Bucky is nearby.
Before he comes properly in, Steve picks up a medium-ish box he'd left by the door before that hug. It gets placed on the table next to Bucky's coffee as Steve takes a seat and makes a show out of leaning back and crossing his legs. The smile he gives Bucky when he's handed coffee of his own could power a hundred light bulbs.]

You're a lifesaver.
