[ Steve might roll his eyes a little, but it's only with fondness in mind. Bucky challenging him is nothing new. Hell, Bucky messing with him isn't, either. If it really bothered him, he would have made it known ages ago and he knows Bucky would have stopped, but he likes the way Bucky challenges him.
Neither of them have ever been afraid to call each other out or poke at each other's bruises. He's honestly relieved that they've settled back into that. It's a sure sign that Bucky really has made worlds of progress and Steve couldn't be happier about that. He'd hated feeling like they were tip-toeing around each other. ]
Okay.
[ There's a slow, lazy smile on his face as he says it and he really doesn't need to think it over to know that he wants what Bucky is suggesting. Things will always pull at them. He can't change who he is or walk away from it, but Bucky is a constant, too, and that's important. Things may pull at them sometimes, but Steve would like to think it's clear that Bucky's a big priority now that he's back in Steve's life. ]
I don't think I've heard a better offer since you asked me to live with you in Brooklyn.
[ There are a lot of reasons to say no, but one very big reason to say yet: He loves Bucky. ]
