Bucky, an alpha, is probably one of the only people alive that knows Steve is an omega. They'd expected the serum to change that, but it hadn't. Bucky believes it's because that sort of thing is just not something that can be changed, and Steve is meant to be who he is. Steve still hasn't let it become public knowledge, not even now, when they're both wanted because of a betrayal from one of his Avenger friends.

"Good," he says. "The words are becoming less effective. I'm shaking them off faster every time." It's good news. He'd considered going back into the ice to keep from letting himself be triggered like that again, but he hadn't wanted to, and with Steve's support, he feels more comfortable taking this route instead.

"It's that curried chicken you like. Who knew that food could taste this good?" Steve probably did, since he's been here in the future longer. Bucky can't remember ever eating anything while Hydra had him, so he assumes they'd administered the calories and vitamins needed via tube while he was asleep.

"Your day go okay? You look like somethin's bothering you."
