[ While Bucky already knew his defenses were lower when it came to Hel - it had something to do with being able to talk to her easily, not having any pretenses or added bullshit that came to do with who he was and what he'd done while also being aware that he's different and it not be surprising - he can feel them slip a little further down. He's admitted that he wants her ( wants her near, wants her more than just as a friend ) but he can't fully trace how far down that feeling goes. How much he trusts her, how much he cares and how deeply she's already impacting him despite the short time they've known one another. But he can pinpoint just where he softens toward her a bit more between her deciding to bring the woods to him and presenting him a small potted plant like she did.
The only people he's felt that sense of ease and feeling accepted with in recent times was the Wilson family and that was a feeling of family ( Uncle Winter Soldier Sam said ) as opposed to something deeper, something that's quickly moved away from the platonic friendship they've thought this was and into something more. It's been a long damn time since he felt like this and he's still not fully sure how to navigate that dance, but he's willing to try. ]
Thanks, [ He's ducking his head a little, almost sheepish in accepting the offering from her because he's not gifted things often. ] I'll uh - I'll try not to kill it. It's not gonna take much to keep it living, is it? You might wanna get visitations to it, to make sure I'm taking care of it right.
[ It's a sly invitation to have her come over more, if she isn't put off by this whole experience at the end of it. He knows he doesn't have much, it never really bothered him before but now that he's faced with having her in his space and knowing that he wants her to be there, he knows it's not normal for most people. ]
It's not a conversation you wanna have over the phone - text or a phone call. And I wanted to see you too. Not just 'cause of what we were talking about, but since I was thinking about you. I didn't know if you'd want to come over or if it was too outta line to bring it up on my own.
