Bucky's fingertips against his skin is heavenly. Steve's eyes flutter shut, not wanting to have anything else competing for his attention against that gentleness. He curls toward Bucky like a cat in a spot of sunlight, basking. His eyes only reopen finally when Bucky asks for his advice regarding his own past self. And that is frankly adorable and absurd enough to have Steve's face breaking into a grin.
"I'm sorry... Are you asking for advice on how to seduce me?"
He giggles, still light from the glow of sex and practically drunk on the fact that Bucky returned his love. It's been a very long time since Steve first got his new body and felt unstoppable in it. That wild, heady insanity is back now though. Indestructible. Blessed. Whole, perhaps. The thoughts and feelings rush around inside him as they often do, but this time they are all uncharacteristically positive.
It won't last but it is nice for the moment.
"Geez, Buck. This might be one of the strangest questions I haveta answer and you have no idea what people in this time feel comfortable asking about in interviews." The first time someone with a camera asked 'Boxers or Briefs', Steve had frozen so completely that Tony needed to step in. "But... Honestly? You might be overthinking it, pal."
He reaches out and strokes the other's hair back. It's not necessary. Bucky's hair is so much shorter now than it is in this time. The contact, however, is desperately needed. Steve keeps stroking against his cheek, slow and tenderly.
"You and I here...there wasn't a lot we needed to say. I think it's because on some level we... We just already know. Won't think about it or do anything. But it's already there. And if you wanna test the waters, I really feel like just... Just you looking at me the way you used to look at dames? Maybe reaching out..." Steve reaches his hand for Bucky's and just holds it. "That'll get my brain working for sure. And if I think you're making a move, well. I can't have you beating me..."
