[ There's a part of Bucky that had figured Thomas was attracted to him in some way. Maybe he's never really lost that little bit of ego, but he's knows he's good-looking, even now. It's just that being attracted and actually wanting something are very different things. Bucky had no problem separating them, himself. It's easy to say someone is attractive and have no interest in doing anything about it, so he hadn't really let himself overthink anything beyond that.
Still, he feels entirely ungrounded in the situation until Thomas reaches out to touch him, like maybe he'd read too much into things or maybe he'd let himself think that that little attraction could mean more. Something in him relaxes when the touch connects, like he's relieved to be together here and now. Maybe there are better circumstances, but they don't have those. They have potentially the end of everything slowly crashing towards them.
Despite everything, he can't help the little smile that starts to take over his face. ]
Good. I wouldn't want to think I changed that much.
[ He leans in until their noses are only inches apart and lets his voice drop. Anything he has to say is only for Thomas's ears, anyway. ]
