iirc, Lup started out mocking him for having forgotten his name, which like. He's not a fan of getting teased by people he's not already friends with, and losing his name was kind of a sore spot. So. He didn't like her much at first.

But then she offered him booze after Kano's execution and he really appreciated that. And sure he was kind of wallowing at the time, but her shutting him down on the "oh if only I did X" thing earned her a lot of respect because normally, that's the approach Bucky himself likes to take. Having that knocked into his head again was nice.

After that he started viewing her more positively and was more open to kind of joking around with her even if he was still, uh, pretty grumpy. But come week 4 when he lost all the Bad Mems and I think Taako forgot Lup? They kind of reversed and suddenly he was the more cheerful teasing one trying to bring her out of her funk. Which, let me tell you, her putting stickers all over his arm for the sake of cheering her up got me real good right in that tender spot. Plus, by this point, there was Wolf Solidarity and Formerly Dead Solidarity so like. He not only enjoys her company and cares about her, but he also trusts her!

TOO BAD HE DIED THEN. And he was stewing in his own self-loathing and Lup wasn't there to knock him out of it so he just. didn't reach out to her. rip.

By the time they met again at the end, Bucky'd gotten his memories back so nominally he should've been grumpy again, but Lup had grown on him and also gave him spiked coffee so he like. Genuinely likes her. A Real Friend! Now if only they'd had more time together, I'm sure that only would've gotten stronger.
