[Zevran doesn't speak for several moments. He can't even look at Bucky until he speaks. The words are not the ones he expected. He thought for sure that there would be yelling, that Bucky would discover how terrible he is, and that he would leave him. But he doesn't, he doesn't blame him at all. He's shocked he doesn't know how to react.]
I...wait you don't- I'm-
[Confused. He is very confused. The words that he speaks starts to sink in. Of course Bucky understands, better than anyone even better than himself. It's always easy when you are on the outside looking in, but Bucky has experience in nearly the same things that he has been though. The pain, torture, and manipulation that makes up the life of an assassin.
'That is not you.'
It takes several moments for it to sink in. He feels a strange...almost relief as he stares at Bucky. That's all he really ever wanted to hear. That is wasn't his fault. A smile starts to slowly spread across his face. His fingers tighten around Bucky's hand.]
It is cruel, but...[His other hand carefully and gently caresses Bucky's cheek as he leans slowly inward.] It would be more cruel to deny how much I want this.
