Even though Bucky had been on his own before the blip for a long time, things with Steve were... comfortable. It wasn't perfect or anything--Bucky was pretty sure nothing would ever be perfect for him, what with all his nightmares and trauma responses, and just general poor moods--but it was comfortable. And even though Bucky thought it was more than he deserved, he wasn't about to push it away. Not when he finally had a chance.
At Steve's question, Bucky hesitated for just a moment before nodding. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm coming," he said with a nod. He hoped he didn't look too nervous as he followed Steve into his bedroom, then instinctually moved around to the left side of the bed, so it would be his natural arm beside Steve, not a big chunk of metal.
Besides, it wasn't like they'd never shared a bed before. But in the past it had always been because Steve was sick or they were just seeking some additional warmth.
