Steve didn't like the way Bucky wouldn't look him in the eye, but they could deal with that later. He didn't expect Bucky to trust him right off the bat, he expected to have to work for it. Bucky was already doing a pretty amazing job of holding it together under circumstances that would have broken most people, and Steve respected that. A lot.
Once the nurse was finished, Steve just kept waiting patiently until Bucky was ready to let go. He offered a sympathetic smile, nodding and pulling his gloves off so he could toss them into the trash. "I'll bet. You can sleep as long as you need to. I'll be right here." If he needed anything - like food - he'd send someone to get it. Steve wasn't leaving this room, especially not while Bucky was asleep. He wasn't likely to do it if he was awake, either. Guarding Bucky was his job, and he took it very seriously. "You need anything first?"
