esotericnessHe can't say he's entirely 'used to' Bucky being in his apartment. He can say that after the amount of time he had without Bucky, both while Hydra had Bucky and then the blip, it's surprisingly easy to have had him here, since his return.
Eating together - even standing up in the kitchen over reheated pizza or similar, most of the time - sharing the clean up duties and space, taking turns in the bathroom is all pretty damn easy. It's familiar, and it's become routine.
Routine doesn't diverge immediately, even down to Steve tossing Bucky a pair of sweatpants and t-shirt for Bucky to sleep in, after he's brushed his teeth and changed into his own. He has way more stuff, for very obvious reasons.
It diverges after that, at the point they'd be separating for Steve to go into the bedroom to sleep (or try to sketch or stare at the ceiling or -) and Bucky left on the couch.
He waits on Bucky to come back out to ask - "You coming?" To bed.
Is that still a thing they are doing, and how the fuck is this going to go?

"But, hey, if you think it'll work, we can try." Maybe it would work, especially since Bucky has Steve vouching for him.

That'd be Bucky.
He's getting that backpay.
or Steve's going to develop an affinity for reports really damn fast.
