"Mm. Are we watching a movie or your documentary?" Bucky teases. Often Zemo does make the mistake of thinking that Bucky's trapped in a small, confined space with him, and not the other way around.

"Maybe you should grow a moustache." Bucky pokes Zemo in the cheek. Zemo can most definitely feel that grin against his skin. "You can twirl it menacingly while you take over the world." Or, you know, they can just be a disgustingly touchy-feely honeymoony couple spooning in the backseat or splashing around in the hot tub laughing at the caricatures this world has made of a grieving, displaced father and a forsaken, unstable veteran.

Did Bucky finally come home from the war, find a wife, settle down in a farm somewhere to live out the rest of his days enjoying what time he has left to savour The Dream? It sure looks like it from the outside. He wouldn't mind enjoying it for a little while longer. But at some point, hopefully before this all comes crashing down on them, they'll have to try and fix Zemo. Maybe he'll act a little differently then. He doesn't know.

"I chose you. Whatever you-- look or feel or smell like." It's not really about the ring. And he doesn't care if it also looks like Zemo is twirling his proverbial moustache from the outside. Nobody who genuinely thinks that is seeing anything from the inside.
