Steve could physical stop Clint. He could bodily remove Clint and drag him back 'home'. Steve can't get what he wants with force.
And he respects Clint too much - and cares too much - to try.
He's never in his life, not even with Bucky, had a single impulse to drag a person into bed with him the way he does Clint. He'll examine that one later - maybe. More likely he won't think about it but will try it after he kicks the shit out of Clint and gets him into a state that can substitute for more relaxed for a few hours.
He lays awake and quiet until he hears Clint come back in, then settles back into that interrupted sleep cycle. Sits on the edge of his bed and rubs his face with both hands. Sleeping in wet hair made a mess of it, and Steve does not care.
"Rise and shine, Barton." Not that he doesn't expect Clint to have woken up from the second Steve moved.
