The number of fish in the pond isn't something Steve is too concerned with. He figures he can go two years without sex and he'll be better off for it. The idea of hooking up with anyone in here feels a little too vulnerable for his comfort and it's not like he goes around hooking up with people all the time, anyway. It might be a little lonely, but his hand is going to have to do. At least the army trained him for stealthily handling himself, since it's unlikely he'll manage to find himself more than 10 feet from another guy at any given time.
In fact, the army seems to have prepared him for a lot of aspects of life in prison. No wonder Bucky and his friends seem like they're staying relatively sane. The food's no worse, the accommodations might actually be a little better in some ways and he's guessing almost all of them have had to entertain themselves alone in the god damned desert at some point. At least the prison is air conditioned and no one is trying to make them kill anyone or step on a land mine.
"Yeah. Did I miss lunch?" This time when he smiles a little, he doesn't try so hard to hide it. Maybe this won't be so bad. Two years here can't be any worse than two in Afghanistan and the company seems alright. He can make the best of this.
