I think there's two years between the Avengers and Winter Soldier - at least, there are two years between the movie releases, and I think at that point internal and external chronology were running parallel. (Of course the Snap did for that, as for everything else.) Plenty of time for weird messy relationship shenanigans!
They have lots of after-mission safe house sex, but when Rumlow comes by Steve's place one time and Steve sort of vaguely hints in a sexy direction, Rumlow reacts in a way that makes Steve wonder if he somehow imagined the whole safe house thing. Or maybe this is some Bro Code thing he just doesn't get?
I can also just imagine Rumlow hinting at things with Steve and Bucky, like, God, you two were real close, weren't you? And Steve is just... unsure what to do with this.
