"I had a whole list of reasons for why you were a bad idea, until about five minutes after you walked in here."
He grimaces and pushes his plate away from himself. "Just feels ... mean after I spent that long pushing you away to ask you now."
Those suppressants have given way and he knows it. Can feel it. Hence the grimace. At least the scent blocker thing is still working. That one's not likely to break since it has nothing to do with his biology.
Bucky lets a small smirk cross his face and says, "well you were a stubborn ass then, and that ain't changes a whole lot. But I'm stubborn too, and I know that I'm your best bet." Besides, times change. But the one thing that doesn't is Bucky wanting to help Steve out, no matter what the problem is.
"Look, I wouldn't be just doing you a favour. It's been a long time for me, and you don't really forget what it feels like to get a knot into an omega. And you don't have to worry about bonding, since I can't do that anymore anyway."
To Bucky, it all makes sense, but it really is up to Steve. Maybe he'd prefer a different alpha or something.
