It's a really hard mindset to get out of, Bucky struggles with it still, too.

He smiles a little and huffs a laugh, "I hope you don't expect me to be joining you," Bucky has never been an early riser if he had a choice in the matter. Before the war, any day he didn't have to go to the docks or do something important, he wasn't getting out of bed before 10am.

If he does anything at all when Steve slips out in the morning, it would be trying to convince him to skip the run. Stay.

Bucky pushes the thought aside, grinning at the idea of taking a day just to themselves, out of the car. "Sounds good."

At least clean-up with takeout is easy enough. Now, Bucky is curled up against the pillows at the head of the bed with a journal in his lap. He picked up the habit when he was still trying to stitch parts of himself together and just never really quit.

The routine of it is nice, something quiet to do before bed that isn't going to keep him wired like scrolling social media would. It's such an easy way to sink time doing nothing, and it's a habit he's found himself in a lot. Sometimes, he just needs the noise to quiet the static in his own mind.
