If Steve keeps him awake purely to guard him, then Bucky's going to stand
there on the verge of attacking all night, isn't he. And possibly when
housekeeping comes in the morning, he WILL attack. That won't work.
Steve needs some way to calm him down. Especially since he's not sure what
that Russian means. He needs to bring Bucky back as much as he can,
gradually, gently.
"Get me a water from the fridge," Steve says, nodding at it. Ridiculous.
Bucky - all versions of him - knows where the damn fridge is. "Get yourself
one, too, and breathe, soldier. Breathe."
If he can't keep Bucky calm then he might have to - have to kiss him.
There's an uneasy stirring in his gut at this. If he can't keep Bucky
occupied with doing things himself, such as relaxing, guarding, then he'll
have to make him do something with Steve.
