Shots fired, I repeat, shots fired!!! Bucky is aghast at having the tactic leveled right back at him, and sputters a little. "I don't..!" But he does, and he knows it, and his face is going all red and spotchy. Look at what you've done to him, Inigo!

He sinks deeper into the water with what could be a poorly concealed pout. "He's cute. And nice. And he's into music." And that... that was kind of all he knew about Dyme. Well, there were a couple other things, but they really weren't Bucky's to share. "And he smells good," he added, petulantly.

Hah! Guess who's on top now, huh? Sure, Inigo may be having baby brother syndrome where he's just sweet to his older siblings and really looks up to them.. but if Bucky is going to tease him, then Inigo sure is going to throw it right back at him! Especially when he gets a good opportunity for it like this!

(Not to mention that he is just genuinely curious on top of it all.)

"You smelled him already?!"

It's hard to tell if it's even teasing at this point, or Inigo is just genuinely surprised at the speed Bucky is moving at while Inigo didn't even have any idea that Bucky had these feelings for anyone.

Inigo's innocent veneer has been stripped away. Bucky had siblings back home, he knows exactly what he's in for, now that he's gotten over the shock (and the awe!) of Inigo being the one to level this sort of tit-for-tat at him.

His smug grin is the only warning Inigo gets before Bucky takes aim with his next bit of information. "I've done more than just smell him," why does that have to sound so weird??? "I've kissed him. Several times." Just today, even. In fact, today was the first kiss. "I'm one hundred years old, not dead," to quote an old friend of his.

"You kissed him?!"

See, thankfully this is information Inigo can still handle. Bucky better not go into their sex life, because that might just make him pass out in the middle of the hot springs, but kisses? That's cool. Kind of cute, even.

Besides, there's still a way to spin that.

"You kissed him, and you didn't even think once about introducing him to your little brother first?" Inigo's eyes grow big. And sad. A moment later he's actually even tearing up a bit. "D-Do I mean that little to you, Bucky?"

[luckybucky]

Okay, that wasn't quite the reaction Bucky had been expecting... he sputtered a little. "Hey! It's not like I planned to kiss him! We were just... you know... walking towards the hot springs. Talking about... stuff. And then... he kissed me." And Bucky kissed him. There had been a lot of kissing. His face was a tomato.

"Besides!" Bucky's on the defense and he's not used to it. "I didn't even know for sure that there was anything there until the kiss. I just knew I liked him, and that he's nice, and plays music and..." he gestured vaguely.

“I introduced you to my boyfriend last time around!” Inigo protests. Honestly, he doesn’t care nearly as much about this as he makes it seem. He’s sure Bucky would have introduced this guy to him at some point, especially if the kiss did come as much out of nowhere as it did...

But it’s fun to put Bucky on the defensive after the other tried to corner him with that teasing, and so Inigo can’t help but press on.

Especially with his big, wibbly puppy eyes.

“I guess I’m not that important to you after all, huh.. Who needs a baby brother when you have someone to kiss!”
