Steve hummed and settled against the pillows as he flicked the page over, jostling the bed. Bucky rolled over and cracked an eye to glare at him. "What?" he demanded muzzily, curling the duvet under his chin and blinking irritably.
"Hm? Oh," Steve said and lowered the book to look at Bucky, "thought you were asleep."
"Was," Bucky replied grumpily. "Then you started makin' noise and movin' too much."
Steve dropped the book to rest against his upraised knee and reached out to smooth Bucky's messy hair away from his eyes. "Sorry. I really ought to remember what a light sleeper you are by now," he said with a chuckle.
Bucky closed his eyes and sighed as Steve stroked his unruly hair. "Probably, but 's ok. What were you hummin' about?"
"I guess we weren't as subtle as we thought during the war," Steve said, giving him a lopsided smile and holding up the book.
"Subtle about what?" Bucky asked, peering sleepily at the cover: Captain America and the Howling Commandos: 1943-1945 by Fredick Williams. "Us?"
"Yeah, us," Steve agreed. "Wanna hear the section I was reading? It's kinda long."
"Sure." Bucky nodded and shifted to lie on his back, stretching out under the covers and snaking an arm around Steve's calf.
Steve flipped back a page. "There has been some debate over the nature of Captain Rogers and Sargent Barnes' relationship, but the current consensus is that they were romantically involved. Rogers's gutsy rescue of Barnes from HYDRA's heavily protected facility in Austria is generally cited as the first of three key pieces of evidence. The Captain crossed deep into enemy territory, armed only with his shield and entirely on his own, to rescue Barnes from the Red Skull's clutches. Those are not the actions of a man trying to save his friend and comrade. They are those of a man trying to save his lover.
"After that, Rogers and Barnes absolutely insisted on being stationed together and were rarely apart. Howard Stark later said, 'If you couldn't find one of them, you sought out the other, because the one you wanted was never far away,'" Steve said, his lips curving into a smile. "When he was interviewed for this book in 2005, Jim Morita, the last surviving Commando, said that it was understood that they were a couple.
"'You don't run off into Nazi territory into the hands of an insane monster like the Red Skull for just your friend, even your best friend, so even though we never saw anything direct, we knew. They were always together, they bickered like an old married couple, and they were so in tune to each other I swear they could have made battle plans without exchanging more than five words. It was completely natural for them, like it had always been that between them, and it made us, the rest of the Commandos, a little uncomfortable at first. But it was Cap and Bucky and they were never weird about it, so eventually it stopped mattering.'"
Bucky chuckled and sighed, stroking a convenient ankle. "'Never weird about it,' huh?" he said with a grin. "Aw, thanks Jim. You reckon he's still around?"
"Maybe," Steve said, scanning the book. "We should find out. There's more, but it focuses on, uh, after the train."
