As I look up to Sam and Bucky I can't help but laugh, it was so obvious they hated every single second.

"It's fine" I say as they both sit back down and laugh about it.

I ate my banana while everyone else ate their lasagne.

~~~~~~

It was after dinner, everyone was in the living room, flicking through the channel when I suddenly get a bad feeling in my stomach. I feel as if I'm going to be sick or something. I get up and slowly make my way to the bathroom, try not to make a big deal out if or anything. It was as if I timed it perfectly, I got to the bathroom just in time to be sick. And there's all the drink I drunk. I think to myself. I sit on the floor beside the toilet and my head between my knees. I feel terrible.

After a few minutes of sitting there, feeling like shit I decided to go and get an early night. I wash my face with water and walk into my room. I see a figure standing looking out of the window.

"This is becoming a bit too frequent for my liking" I say as I climb into my bed and pull the covers up.

The figure jumps at the sound of my voice.

"Going to bed early? That's not like you is it?" Steve says as he walks over and sits on the edge of your bed.

"Don't feel so good" I mumble as you turn on your side , facing Steve and to try and get comfy.

"Yeah I noticed, that's why I came up to see if-" Steve was cut off.

I quickly jump out of bed and run into the toilet as are sick some more. Better out than in I guess. I noticed Steve holding my hair back. I didn't even notice him come in to the bathroom. God this is embarrassing I think to myself. I flush the toilet and sit back down on the floor.

"Sorry you had to witness that" you quietly say to him

Steve sits down beside me and I look towards him. His hand on my cheek, bushing the stray hairs behind my ear. I turn and face the sink in front of me and rest my head on his shoulder. I feel weak. This is different from a normal hangover. Somethings wrong.

"You feel better now?" Steve asks in a caring tone. I can tell he's worried but I'm not sure why.

"Mhm" I reply, I'm too tired to reply fully. Everything feels drained from me

I feel Steve pick me up and carry me to bed and tuck me in. As he's about to leave I call him back. "Steve?" I ask in my sleepy voice. I can hear him stop and turn round to me.

"What's wrong? Do you need anything else?" He asks in his caring tone.

"Stay with me?" I ask him. I know I'm asking a lot of him but it would be nice for him to stay with me. I don't know how to explain it. I just feel something when I'm around him, kind of like the same feeling I had when I was around... Josh...

I'm quickly snatched from my thoughts when I feel the left side of the bed sink a bit. I turn and see Steve lying there. I guess he said yes. I found myself resting my head on his chest, his arm wrapped around me while the other playing with my hair. While lying there, I couldn't stop my mind from thinking about the kiss, our kiss, the one from the party.

~~~~~~

The next morning I wake to find Steve not there. Just thinking of last night. His arms wrapped around me. I look at my clock and see it's 9:00. As I lay in bed I couldn't stop my mind from wondering. Did he stay the whole night. I thought to myself. I couldn't help but feel a bit better, knowing he was there. Does he feel the same way? What am I, crazy? I may be! I just slept in the same bed as captain America! Omg! My mind racing with every question imaginable.

All of a sudden I feel as if I'm on the sun, I feel like I'm roasting, literarily! I feel really really hot. I am sweating. As I take of the duvet I feel freezing. Like I'm not in the middle of Antarctica. In a pair of short and just a top. Like a snowman again. Maybe it's just my room. I decide to get up and walk down to the kitchen where I see Steve and Nat.

"You okay y/n, you don't look to well?" Nat comments

"Yeah" I say as I lean on the counter for support. "I just feel hot but cold at the same time.I thought it was just my room but it seems to be everywhere." I add

Nat walks over and feels my forehead. "You are roasting"

Steve stands up and walks over to you. I hate this attention, I'm fine, I think to myself as I brush off Natasha hand.

"I just need a drink, I'm fine, as I said" I reassure, heading over to get a drink of water.

"Maybe you should go see Tony or Bruce?" Steve pips, finically engaging in the conversation.

"I'm fine" I snap. I turn around to walk away but all of a sudden everything goes dizzy. I stumble over my own feet but catch myself. My breath feel quick and heavy. I can't hear right, the next thing I know I feel myself falling, my body going limp.

"Y/n! Stay with me okay?" I can hear Steve's voice. I want to stay but I can't. I close my eyes as everything goes black.

~~~~~~

The next thing I know, I can hear a beeping noise, it's rhythm. It's my heart beat. I slowly open my eyes and see bright lights in my face. I squint as I turn my head and see Tony working on something, god knows what it is now. I go to get but i'm suddenly pushed back down by a hand. I look to see it's Steve's hand.

"Take it easy y/n, you have a fever, and you fainted. Just don't get up too quickly." he calmly explains.

"I'm going to get Tony, I'll be back in a second okay?" He asks.

"Yeah sure, okay" you give him a smile as he leaves the room and walks towards Tony.

Not five minutes later they both walk in with Bruce. You look up to Tony and see he seems tense. Worried even. Bruce looks stressed but is that anything new.

"Y/n, we found something..." Tony says as he lets out a sigh.
