Bucky was over the moon that Sam was here, which was nothing but pure selfishness. He hoped Sarah ad her boys would be alright and able to handle not having her brother around for ...however long the hotel decided to keep him here. Everyone, even Zemo, was happy to see him too but Bucky knew that Sam would be trying to get back home the second that all the reunions came to an end. It was going to be a hard adjustment. Though Sam had proven himself flexible before.
He was in the middle of giving that deep gash in Zemo's left arm some extra attention when Zemo threw the gauntlet. Bucky had been expecting that to come up eventually but he hadn't thought it would have been Zemo to bring it up first. His eyes flickered briefly, catching the other man's gaze for a second before dropping them down again. It was a fair assumption that Bucky would want to keep mum about all of it. Using the excuse 'its complicated' was a cheap way out and Bucky didn't want to make it sound like this didn't mean something.
Even if so far, it had only been physical.
"I haven't decided," Bucky answered honestly. His words were slow and deliberate, as though he'd already rehearsed this in his head. "I don't think it will take much for Sam to figure out something is going on between us though." Bucky couldn't hold back the little smile. Sam had already known that Zemo liked to get under his skin so telling him that Bucky liked it back couldn't be that much of a surprise.
"Do you want to tell him?" Bucky paused and raised his head, cocking it slightly. Zemo hadn't given his opinion one way or the other. Maybe he didn't care. Or maybe he preferred keeping their business behind closed doors for now. "It would be alright if you didn't, you know. You've got as much say in this ...thing between us as I do. And I care what you think."
