So Steve might have a penchant for speeches. This place is only going to be able to change him so much and it seems like the approach works on Bucky, anyway. Even with his tendancy to go on and on a little, he doesn't pack it with bullshit. Steve's always been a man of his word.

He watches Bucky go with a hint of amusement and maybe even a little relief and then he finishes putting his few belongings away before lunch.

After that, he finds himself spending considerable time with Bucky and his group. Maybe not all of it, because Steve still likes his space and the quiet of the library, but enough that he's starting to feel like they're accepting him. They're all friendly enough and Steve isn't going to pry into anyone's lives, but he does fall easily into their banter. Where he might have imagined fights with the sharpened back end of a tooth brush, he mostly gets playful barbs and the occasional middle finger.

For the first week, he manages to live in the space with Bucky without incident, too, but it's about nine days in that he has his first big nightmare, not that he knows it. He's still sleeping, but the whimpers aren't exactly quiet and when he shifts violently on the bottom bunk, it shakes Bucky's top bunk.
