"Will you stay?" He doesn't want to be alone. The plunge into the river had almost taken his life. Trapped beneath a girder he'd had to free himself and almost drowned. He had freed himself and dragged Steve out of the water as well, but it had been close. He doesn't want to risk drowning again.
He stands and starts to strip out of the rest of his clothes. He doesn't realize just how torn-up he looks. In addition to just plain dirt, there are bruises and still-healing cuts all over his body. He looks like he's been in a fist fight with a mountain lion, he's so torn up.
He steps into the tub cautiously. The water's as hot as it'll go, steam rising up off the surface. He sighs in relief and sinks down, making sure to hang his left arm out over the edge of the tub so it wouldn't get wet.
