[Right then, when Steve wraps his arms around him and holds him close, Bucky wishes it wasn't so hard to say how he feels.
While that kiss opened him up, tumbled down a few walls, there was still something blocking up the path from his brain to his mouth. It means a lot to him that it's so easy to make himself vulnerable like this. Curled up with his back to the room, tucked up against someone else, and not quite as focused on being ready for some threat that his mind tells him is always there. Steve's done that and he doesn't know how to tell him.
At the same time, nobody knows him the way his best friend does. Sure, they've got years to sort out and neither of them are the same, but if anyone can tell how Bucky feels even when he can't say it, it'd be Steve.
All that aside, he might not know how to form the words, but he knows he enjoys the way this is all going and his body does, too.]
Might be a bit dangerous, but I don't see why not.
[It's on the tip of his tongue to tease some more, but he's kind of busy nuzzling in against Steve's throat, tipping his head a little bit further to press his lips to Steve's pulse point. Bucky runs his fingers down Steve's chest, slow and measured, accustoming himself to touching Steve that way.]
