I can't tell if you're trying to tell me that I'm emotionally damaged or that you want a dog.
[ Not that he's mad about either. He knows he's emotionally damaged and he'd be fine with Steve getting a dog. He'd never had any pets growing up, but that hadn't been for a lack of wanting one. It had been too expensive back then. ]
[ It takes Bucky a moment to respond. It's a big decision, but he doesn't mind the idea of more responsibility. It sounds a hell of a lot better than what his skills usually lend towards and he likes the idea of having a pet around for the both of them. God knows Bucky doesn't think Steve gets nearly enough love and affection compared to what he thinks the other man deserves. ]
we can learn.
I bet one dog will be easier than three little sisters and I kept all of them alive whenever I was left in charge.
[ The more he thinks about it, the more he really likes the idea of having a dog to curl up with when he's reading. He likes the idea of Steve having a dog to curl up with when Bucky isn't around, too. They'll both be good for walks and feeding and they can learn about whatever else they need to do to keep a dog healthy and happy. ]

But somebody at work was talking to me about something and I kind of think it might be good if we looked in to it?
If you want. I'm not trying to force you or anything.

Again, it's your choice. I'm not going to be upset if you're not interested.

But I know as much about looking after a dog as you do, so it's both of us or neither of us.
[because there's no way he's pursuing this is bucky isn't 100% on board with the idea]

[something that's still true to this day. bucky cares, probably a little more than he should. but that's all part of what makes him bucky.]
I can pick up some books for us to read over this weekend if you want?
