It's been awhile since he woke up feeling cold after a dream, but if there's one kind that does it, it's nightmares about the nogitsune. He knows where he is when he wakes up and he lets out a breath and closes his eyes after he sees Scott beside him. His best friend is still in a coma, but somehow his presence is still a comfort right now. He rubs a hand over his forehead, and reaches out, flicking on the lamp and sitting up slowly.
The knock on the door a few minutes later surprises him. It's late. Really late. And he thinks maybe it's Lydia or Allison or Kira, but by now they all just come right in and make themselves at home here too, and that's good. He's pretty sure that's how Scott wants it. He starts to say, "Come in," but refrains. One can't be too careful with vampires -- supposedly reformed or not -- as he knows all too well. And he won't be the one to invite one into Scott's room. He rises to his feet instead, and moves over to the door, not hesitating to pull it open.
He's surprised to find Bucky standing there, though. "Hey. Are you okay?" Because usually people knocking on a door in the middle of the night need some kind of help but a quick glance reveals no visible injuries.
