Even though he was awake, it was obvious that the drugs were still in Bucky's system. His voice was soft, almost dream-like. He was rambling about camping, and Tony was just going to go along with it. There was the voice in the back of his mind that wanted to laugh at the idea of camping. He'd never be caught dead in a tent. He'd never be caught in the woods. That simple life just wasn't for him. He was more at home surrounded by machinery than he was anywhere else. But if he was honest with himself, the idea of sharing a sleeping bag didn't sound awful. Hell, the idea of them being alone without worrying about anyone else finding them was appealing. Maybe Tony'd get them a cabin out in the woods. It'd be a nice compromise.
"Sounds good," he said softly. He practically relaxed into Bucky's hold. The soldier's fingers continued caressing his back in lazy movements. He was ridiculously affectionate and almost too relaxed. He was speaking with an open honesty, that was really more endearing than it should be. Tony pressed his face to the crook of Bucky's neck and breathed in the scent that was a mixture of sweat and something that distinctly belonged to the Soldier. Whatever it was, it made the name on his arm tingle.
But then Bucky's voice trailed off in a soft hum, and Tony figured he was about to fall asleep again. In all honesty, the guy did deserve a break. Hell, after everything they went through in the last 24 hours, they both deserved to take rest. The only problem was that they weren't out of the woods just yet. Literally. They still had to move. They couldn't risk being here for much longer. The trail of bodies would eventually lead someone here. There was also the fact that both of them probably needed medical attention.
"Hey, hey, hey," He said in a gentle but firm voice. Or at least as gentle as he could sound. He didn't want to sound too panicked. "You need to stay awake, big guy." He pulled back a bit so he could look at Bucky and his hand gently guided the soldier to look at him. "We need to move soon."
