[Not that he doesn't plan on ending up there eventually. But given just how tired he sounds, it won't take much for Sam to put two and two together and realize that all Bucky wants to do when they get back is sleep. Preferably with Sam right there next to him.
It's that or drinking a whole lot more than he probably should.]
[ Despite the tiredness, despite the heavy wear, Sam wishes he could express to Bucky just how much of a steadfast comfort it is to hear from him any time, any place. ]
We'll move the beds together.
[ Sam's voice is soft, warm. No tease in it. He knows exactly what Bucky is asking without so many words, and agrees to it without so many words, too. ]
[It's more than he was asking for. But it feels right. They've been living in each other's space for all these months. Shared a bed more often than not in the days leading up to this mission. So pushing the beds together seems like a natural next step.

...what if I asked Viveca for a double instead?
[A quiet question. Because while Sam may have offered the option of moving the bed together, it's something that can be undone too. Can be made a temporary measure. Unlike a double bed.]
[It takes a few moments for him to respond. Mostly because he wasn't sure what kind of a response he'd get from Sam. Having it be a seemingly positive one lifts a weight off his chest.]
I'll talk to her.
[Because for all the cyborg comments Sam might make about him, he does find talking to her a whole lot easier than to most people.]
Doubt the world would accept me losing Captain America to a couple of beds.

Well, then we'd be much more comfortable without that stupid gap in between. I still remember that one time I woke up half stuck between the beds.
[ Sam swallows. And then smiles to himself. Because... well. Yeah. ]
Double's a good idea for us, Buck.

[ it's true. Viveca is extremely fond of Bucky, Sam knows that better than many. ]
Would make for funny headlines, you gotta admit. And Rhodey would get a kick out of it.
[ His tone's still soft and fond, but now there's that added humour to lift the mood a little, to smoothe over Bucky's audible tiredness. ]
