Steve does not especially want to climb into the tub with him. Not that a little cool water would damage him, but it doesn't look comfortable. His short-term goal, therefore, is going to have to be coaxing him up and into the living room, bedroom, or even into the hall where there's more space to get alongside him and hold him close.
He means it, though. He has no intention of leaving, at least until he can be sure Loki is cognizant and stable enough to care for himself. Even then, he might be hard to chase away.
The tilt into his touch makes Steve give a little sigh, grateful he's getting that much response at least. What he'd do with a catatonic demigod, he doesn't know. Probably he'd have had to call Thor out of sheer anxiety and that might not have ended well.
But that is a bullet dodged so far, so he keeps stroking him, leaning across the chilly porcelain to rest his forehead against the other man's temple. "I was worried when you didn't text me back. It's okay, I'm not mad, but I had to come check on you."

His breath is warm, ghosting against Loki's ear.
