[ Even if it's delivered in a dry tone, Bucky still makes a joke, and Steve will never get tired of that. He smiles briefly and leans into Bucky too, so that they're pressed against each other, each holding a small amount of the other's weight.
When Bucky reaches for his hand, there's no resistance on Steve's part; he simply allows himself to be moved, eyes shutting for a moment as he focuses on Bucky's warmth and solid presence next to him. He's never wanted to let on how much he's missed this, never wanted to make Bucky feel bad for what he couldn't always provide.
Now that he has it, or at least some part of it, though...
Still, he has a reputation to obtain, and so Steve's eyes flit open as he smirks at Bucky, struck suddenly by how close their faces are to each other. ] You think so? Well, we might have to test that theory sometime... I'll have to get my best swoon ready. [ Steve's not sure he's ever actually swooned in his life, except maybe around Peggy Carter. All the same, he does trust Bucky to catch him when he falls, which is as cliche as anyone could get in this situation, but it's still the truth.
Steve's hand twitches as Bucky's fingers trace over the map of lines there. He has to get used to being touched by him all over again, but it's hardly a chore. ]
