He was very still in the darkness, waiting for Steve to show signs of being asleep, fighting his own body's need for it in the dark. He decided that he could risk moving closer if his friend was asleep and then he could find his own sleep and try to wake early enough to slide away so he wasn't pressed too close. Steve had just had a horrible week tramping through the jungle, and it was up to him to not only keep the man safe but content as well. If that involved sleeping in pants or whatever, he should be pleased to do so.
So he lay in wait clutching his pillow in some mock imitation of Steve and didn't move at the sudden invitation. He made a soft noise of longing at the back of his throat; it was more important Steve sleep than he wear pants was the current argument in his head. "You should sleep. You need your rest," he finally said, shifting slightly on the bed and not yet deciding to get closer.
