Steve almost pulled back - but didn't. He just tried to keep his touch light and let Bucky know he was safe, even if he was still asleep. He was just about to try to do a little more to wake Bucky up when the other's eyes opened; he seemed to be awake, but still jumpy, which was understandable. "Easy," Steve said quietly. "It's me. You're safe." That was all Bucky would care to hear, he figured, and he wasn't going to say a thing about the dream unless Bucky wanted to talk about it. Everyone had nightmares. You couldn't control them. That didn't make you a weak person.
He let Bucky have a moment for himself - though when Bucky scooted in closer, he looked a little surprised (but not unhappy). Well, if serving as a bed was part of serving as a bodyguard... it wasn't so bad. He did take the opportunity to disentangle the oxygen line carefully, whether or not Bucky was actually paying attention. "Don't mention it," he said, and he meant it, trying to pull Bucky's blankets up around him again, if he was cold. Since the serum, Steve had always run pretty hot - he was basically a personal furnace, though not a lot of people had had the chance to find that out. Bucky probably was, though, right about now. The uniform could actually be adjusted to hide his heat signature, if he needed stealth, but that wasn't the case right now.
