Well, it wasn't about Bucky's exchange with Tony specifically. But they had been talking about Zemo, so it wasn't.. not about it, either? Steve shook his head. "No, it's about..."
Steve frowned. For all of his thinking and mulling this over, he really wasn't all that sure where to start. He probably could have cut to the chase. There was little sense in having to lead up to the point he wanted to make. All the same, Bucky had barely been in the room for ten minutes, so maybe a little tact was in order.
He moved closer, coming to sit directly next to Bucky. He knew this conversation was going to be difficult. But here, in the moment, it felt so much worse than he had imagined it to be. He didn't want to hurt Bucky. That was literally the last thing he could ever want. But he couldn't keep on hurting himself, either. Something needed to change, or else he'd drive himself batty. "Bucky, are you happy, being with me? I mean.. completely happy?"
