[ Look who thinks he's cute. At least until he glances over at the stein and blushes, then takes a slow breath. Nerves are one thing, Steve's had those more times than he wants to admit. But, as Bucky knows (or at least might have a vague memory or two ), he also tends not to back down from things. Ever. ]
They will until I accidentally kill them sometime in the next week.
[ Because Steve and plants don't always get along. ]
[But he's smiling brightly, because even if his memory is still incomplete, he remembers Steve almost perfectly.]
I don't know, I was thinking of yelling you how you're a gorgeous guy, and I've always had my eyes on you, I just didn't think I should say anything. It was difficult, before. It's a lot easier now.
The serum just made everyone else see what I already saw.
[ Of course, the blush only deepens, despite the skeptical look he shoots Bucky. Because it kind of sounds a little like a line. From one of the movies they used to watch whenever a few cents could be spared. Because it's something he didn't know he wanted to hear, until now.
Bucky's always been his hero, after all. And some people develop crushes on their heroes. ]
Well, it was illegal back in the day. You'd woulda ended up in jail. I'd be killed.
[ Admittedly a little dramatic. Forgive Steve, he's trying to figure out if Bucky is kidding or not. And how to calm down his heartbeat. Even if Bucky is kidding, deep down inside, he hopes its not that. ]

[Let's just. Ignore the fact that he's decades out of practice.]
Glad you like 'em, Stevie. I figured they'd brighten up the place.

So. How does this seduction thing work?

[It's pointed, as Bucky walks to him, hand outstretched to put it on Steve's shoulder.]
The world's not perfect, but it is better.
no subject
[ And boy, if that simple touch doesn't send his heart racing. Just a little, but it's still effective. ]
You really wanted to say something when I was a shrimp?
no subject
[He doesn't even hesitate.]
Think it started when we were kids. You've always been headstrong. It's an attractive quality to have.
no subject
[ Or all of Brooklyn. And anyone who has experienced Steve's temper first hand. ]
Ma aside.
But thanks. Its a nice thing to say.
no subject
They sure agree with me now. I'm just the one who liked you first.
[It's nice to say, actually. Bucky loved his dates with women, but he'd always founds his thoughts wandering to his best friend.]
no subject
[ It may be a deflection, but it's also true. And the original tights probably didn't hurt either. The ones Bucky wanted him to keep. ]
You were always pretty insistent i had good qualities though.
no subject
Maybe a little. But I can't say that was something I can complain about, after the initial shock wore off.
[Bucky chances brushing a little closer, smiling.]
You did have good qualities. Still do.
no subject
[ They'd been the bright spot in those first few months. And the guy who played Adolph. Steve peers up at Buck from where he's still sitting. ]
Alright, I'll call your bluff and fish for compliments. Which ones?
no subject
[Bucky grins.]
You stick to your guns. You're opinionated, ready to do the right thing even if no one else wants to do it.
no subject
[ Do not blush, Rogers. ]
Some might say those are my bad qualities.

[ He is going to push up from the table, so he's standing face to face with Bucky, though. ]
Coffee is almost ready.
no subject
The coffee could always wait.
no subject
It could. I think this is the slowest seduction I've been party to.
And a part of.
no subject
[Bucky's grinning, though, when he moves to brush his hand against the side of Steve's face.]
I figured I'd go all-out for you, Stevie.
no subject
[ He does, actually. Even if Buck is taking his time getting there. ]
no subject
[It's a serious offer; he's smirking, but isn't about to do it until he gets verbal permission.]
no subject
Uhm ... maybe?
no subject
"Maybe?"
