Truth be told, Steve has long operated under the assumption the secret missions or Avengers' work would kill him. He'd never have to worry about people getting old on him. He was always destined for a brief, turbulent life. He did worry about Pepper though because she's too smart to go out like that. He'd be relieved to know that Tony had plans to ensure she wouldn't be alone.
Right now his only plans are to appreciate the moment for what it is. He's in a nice, safe place with his friend. He's going to get a good night's sleep. He can care less if anyone outside of here has to say about it.
He does register the clear difference between this night and all the others. There's no device mandating they need a certain amount of space apart. There's no light or noise. Steve's not sure if he misses that or not. The fact that its existence was the only thing keeping Tony alive is something he can do without.
He answers Tony as if it's an afterthought. "Don't be an idiot. Of course you have me." For however long that turns out to be.
