"Yeah." Though Bucky had no doubt somebody would be watching as he left, to make sure he did. Sighing, he rubbed a hand over his face, still pretty much in shock over the whole thing.
"Thanks. I mean I guess technically I wouldn't have ended up getting captured again in the first place if you hadn't come along and..." What was that phrase they'd used? "And disrupted the timeline. So maybe I shouldn't be thanking you for saving me. But you did, so I am."
He gave Len an awkward sort of half salute, then headed out of the ship.
In their room, James had been watching the whole exchange on a monitor, thanks to a quick demand to Gideon. Seeing Len interact with his former self made him feel strange, almost sick.
They made a good pair. Bucky, with his clean-cut good looks and wry sense of humour that was actually a pretty decent match for Len's, seemed like a far better choice compared to James.
One of the things he'd always been grateful for with Len was that his lover hadn't known his past self, wouldn't be comparing James to that younger version. Now that was no longer true.
And James was terrified he might come up wanting in Len's eyes, now.
