Steve has likely had solid sleep more recently than Bucky, but it still hasn't been since The Snap and it wasn't that consistent before then. It's fine and he's fine.
...He is really, really tired and not just from lack of sleep.
Steve frees his hand from Bucky's, but only to brush his thumb across Bucky's cheekbone, smile a bit and then drop his arm over Bucky's waist. "I love you, too."
This? No matter what level of exhausted they are, or anything else, is wholly good.
He's still asleep within seconds of his eyes closing. Not dozing or drowsing but asleep.
