Good. [Yeah, he doesn't think Bucky's going anywhere, whether he wants to or not.

Steve barely knows what time it is, either - he's honestly not sure what day it is. He figures he can deal with that after some sleep. And something to eat, because his stomach's already trying to eat his backbone but that's the problem with sitting down - now he doesn't want to get back up again.

He's starting to shuffle down into an actual prone position on the couch, feet propped on the arm (and he didn't bother taking off his boots, either) when Bucky mumbles a little more. Steve smiles a little, though it's more sardonic than anything. He can guess at least ten reasons why Bucky hates hospitals. Some recent, some less so. And no, he doesn't have to explain it to Steve. He never will, if he never wants to.]
Yeah, [he echoes, but then Bucky goes quiet, and Steve manages to stay awake long enough to tell that Bucky's asleep, if not completely comfortably so, before he does the same. He'd sleep well into tomorrow, but his stomach wakes him up a couple of hours later because it's been ignored long enough. Thankfully, Bucky is still deep asleep, and Steve sneaks out for something to eat before he comes back and crashes again.

They both spend the next day or so catching up on sleep; Steve makes himself useful by checking up on Helena, bringing Bucky something to eat when he finally feels like eating, and tries to keep Bucky from going stir-crazy (which is not actually a very easy feat, for all that Steve knows about occupying yourself when you're stuck in bed). Then, for the first time, he gets an inmate. It's temporary, but it's why he's here; still, he figures out pretty fast that she does't need babysitting - and his best friend still might. So he spends most of his time just keeping Bucky company, and catching up on a little more sleep while he's got the luxury. Bucky mostly does the same - only it's about four in the morning, two days later, when something from the bed starts to wake Steve up, on the other side of the room where he's sprawled on the couch. He comes awake all at once - he might sleep hard when he needs it, but he can generally be awake and alert within a heartbeat when he needs to do that, too - but it's going to take a minute to place the exact reason why he woke up in the first place.]
