( it's maybe not a shock that bucky doesn't usually sleep well. he doesn't go into it, though, doesn't supply the additional detail of hey i usually suffer from horrific nightmares, but i slept well beside you. that feels like too much; maybe it'd be making more of this than he ought to, more of this than whatever... this is. whatever she's willing to let it be.
but for now, he can just savour it. the bed is still too soft, feels like it has way too much give and his spine isn't used to it, but being tangled up in her makes up for it. they might be all stale sweat and tacky skin from last night, but compared to the alternatives he's had to sleep in over the years — dried blood, mud — he's not complaining about this. )
How about you? Sorry if I turned the bed into a furnace or something. I kind of— overheat.
( it's something to do with that circulation, his persistent pulse and homeostasis and how his body doesn't let itself get too cold; more inadvertent little side-effects of the serum, everyday touches that nobody really could have predicted. his body runs hot, steady and warm beneath her hands. )
