"You mean you're going to stay with me all night?" Bucky asked as he slid the shirt off and set it aside, eyes flickering over the skin to see where the source of the bleeding had come from. Sometimes Matt bled onto his own clothes but sometimes it happened to be from someone else. Usually, he could tell rather easily but the groggy sleep haze kept messing with him still. He needed a few more minutes to be his usual on alert self.

"When's the last time you've eaten?" Bucky asked rubbing one of the cloths over Matt's torso. Matt would hear his heart speeding up now for an entirely different reason.

"You want to shower and I can try to find food?"

"Yeah, if you're okay with that." Sort of a ridiculous thing to say, since this is Matt's apartment and Bucky was asleep in his bed. But sometimes they both need their solitude, and Matt would go and spend the evening at his office if the other man asked him to.

It doesn't seem that's going to be the case, though, not with the way Bucky is touching him, taking care of him. Matt smiles around a cut lip, reaching for one of Bucky's hands to reassure him. "It's mostly the other guy's. I'm not bleeding out."

So there's no need to worry about hurting him, and no need to rush over getting him cleaned up.

Although food and a shower do sound pretty tempting. He answers the first question with a guilty tilt of the head. "This morning, toast and coffee. It was a busy day." And a busy previous night, and a busy day before that. Too much to do, not enough hours to fit it all in. And Bucky in the midst of it all, being neglected when their time together has been the best thing in Matt's life for ages.

"Just order delivery. It's easier." And should give enough time for him to try and coax the other man into the shower with him.
