what if Tony 's hatred and frequent experience of being without anyone who understood/cared about him means that his snap also created soulmate marks. And they notice, while burying him, that Pepper's doesn't match him.... Bucky's does.
So what you’re telling me is that at Tony’s funeral Bucky finds out that he never truly got the chance to properly meet his own damn soulmate, killed his soulmate’s parents and the last time they really interacted, they were bashing each other’s heads in. And it’s too freaking late to do anything about it, so he just has to find a way to be okay with that.
Which is about the moment he turns around and Steve has disappeared into the past to Peggy, who, it turns out, is not his soulmate because in Peggy’s time there are no such things as soulmates yet.
Sam’s basically in the background, ramming his head against the closest brick wall repeatedly, shouting WE WERE THIS CLOSE TO CATCHING A BREAK AND FUCKING RECOVERING EMOTIONALLY YOU MOTHERFUCKER
