"Come in." Steve answered as he heard knocking on his bedroom door. He had just gotten out of the shower and was looking for a shirt to put on.
"Hey" Y/n said softly from behind him as she shut the door to give them some privacy.
"Hey, Sweetheart." Steve smiled as he turned to face her after pulling his shirt over his head. He feels relieved that she came to him since he couldn't find her earlier. Steve was getting very worried since it's not like her to run off after a mission.
"How you feeling?" she asked him nervously. Her body lounge giving her away, playing with her fingers and not looking at him.
Steve smiled reassuringly nodded "A lot better."
Y/n shook her head and scoffed before lifting her head to look at him. "Please, don't lie to me."
"I'm not, I promise. I'm still in some discomfort and pain but I'm doing a lot better. Already almost healed." he told her even lifting his shirt to show her that he was healing and fast due to the supersoldier serum.
"I'm so sorry, Steve." Y/n whimpered
"Hey, hey what do you mean sorry?" Steve rushed over to stand in front of her, cupping her face with his left hand and pulling her to him in a tight hug.
"If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have gotten hurt." Y/n cried into his chest, as he rubbed her up and down her back. Trying to soothe her.
Steve shook his head he couldn't believe she was blaming herself for what happened. "What? What are you talking about? Y/n, me getting shot was in no way your fault." He does the same thing, him and Bucky. Blame themselves because they believe they could have or should have done something. Steve knows she's done this before, just like them. But he thought it was clear that what happened on the mission was an accident.
Y/n pulled away, out of his embrace shaking her head. "But if I would have-"
"If you would have tried to save me from getting shot, you would have gotten shot too." Steve stated strongly. He looked her in the eyes so she'd get that there was no room for blame. Especially not on herself. Steve sighed moving both his hands to her face, one stroking her hair the other gently resting on the side of her face. "Y/n, you could never hurt me, just remember that."
Y/n looked him in the eyes and nodded biting her lip. Deep down she knows and knew it was never her fault, what happened happened. "I'm sorry." she apologized
"You have nothing to be sorry for." Steve pulled her back into a hug, whispering to her. Its gonna take a while to get her to believe him on the facts of what happened but he'll gladly take the time to do so.
