If Bucky was in a normal mood he'd joke about the comment that she'll stay. He'd tease her that she better once she's already got her hands in his hair. Something about anything else making her a tease or the like.

Today he doesn't have it in him. He can't find the words to say much of anything so he just considers her comments for a minute or two staying quite. It's easy to want to let this moment last for as long as it can.

After a while he breaks the silence with.

"I didn't know I had a thing for red heads either. But upon reflection I did once use our train money home at Coney island trying to win a prize for a cute red head, Steve was pissed."
