[ There's plenty that doesn't have to be said between them, that's just understood without any words required. Steve is all too aware of how much of a show of trust this is, for Bucky to put himself in his arms and allow himself to relax. He views it as a gift of sorts, something that he hopes he's earned through patience and support.
Maybe one day it will come easy, and it won't feel like Bucky's actively putting his heart in Steve's hands for safekeeping. For now, though, this is good. This is better than good. ]
Good thing we know how to handle danger, then. [ That's an understatement, but Steve wants to keep the conversation light for as long as possible.
Steve expects little more than some nuzzling at first, so when Bucky starts kissing up his throat and then drawing his fingers down his chest, he's not entirely prepared. His eyes fly open for a moment as he sucks in a breath, but then relaxes into Bucky's touch. ]
Someone's getting bold. [ He doesn't want to dissuade Bucky, though. Quite the contrary, actually. ] Not that I mind. [ Bucky's obviously curious and Steve's happy to let him do whatever experimentation he feels like. ]
