[Steve's only taking the grapes now because it's not like Becky doesn't have access to plenty more, if she wants them. It's why he got them plenty of food. He's always noticed how Bucky gave him the bigger "half" of things, but it's never been any use pointing it out. Steve just always tried to make it up to him in other ways. He supposes if Becky pulled the same stunt… he would have done the same for her, too.
Besides, it's just one more mannerism that is comfortable and comforting, even if he's used to a best friend that's not female.
Although right now, he - she - is, and that gets a little more obvious when she pipes up about the room.] Oh - huh. Yeah. [That makes sense. The women nurses - hell, even Peggy - always managed to get better accomodations, not that anyone had minded. And the way Becky says stuck me definitely tell him she would've been happy to sleep on those Army-issue bunks, if it meant giving a nicer bed up to someone who needed it.
And for the duration of this flood, she's still welcome to sleep here. Steve can't promise he'll act exactly like Becky expects, but he's had to share close quarters with a woman once or twice before - namely, Natasha. He managed all right. And he's pretty sure Becky won't take any awkwardness from him - she'll call him on it, and he doesn't think he minds.]
I don't know if he likes them, so much as… it's what he's used to, the way you're used to that hotel room. [He shrugs a little sheepishly - he just can't help feeling that guilt.] The way I'm kind of used to this.
[Besides… he might not actually admit this to Bucky, but he's not thinking that Bucky might remember everything that happened when this is over, because he says,] I don't think I blame him, in a way. The alternative's our apartment, probably, and… [Even Steve isn't sure he'd want to live in a cabin that was fashioned after their place, in Brooklyn. It would hurt too much.]
