She chose me •Steve Rodgers x reader•

Chapter 14

"I refuse" (Y/n) said firmly.

Steve sighed, not knowing how much longer he could take this, "please just take the bed, the sofa turns into one anyways"

She just shook her head "no I'm not letting you sleep on the couch in your own home, its not happening Steve"

"You're so stubborn" he told her rolling his eyes playfully "why won't you just take it?"

"Because it's your bed" she protested, he couldn't take her little angry face seriously at all, it was just too cute.

"Should I be offended?" He asked raising an eyebrow at her.

Her eyes grew wide, "NO!" She exclaimed, she didn't mean it like that, only she didn't want to be a burden to Steve in anyway, sleeping anywhere would be better then sleeping next to her fiancé.

He just chuckled and took a pillow from his bed and turning to face her once again "you're having the bed, end of conversation"

"Thank you" (Y/n) muttered out, still not completely happy about the arrangement, but not pushing it anymore.

He disappeared for a few minutes before coming back with T-shirt and a pair of sweatpants "they might be a bit large but I didn't have anything smaller" he told her, slightly embarrassed.

"It's fine, thanks" she said, Steve exited the room, leaving her to get changed. He was right, the clothes wear huge on her, a big difference to the skimpy nightwear Joe would buy for her.

(Y/n) only had her bra and sweatpants on before the door opened unexpectedly "oh by the wa-Oh God!" Steve shouted as he closed the door quickly "I'm so sorry I just wanted to tell you there's a spare toothbrush for you in the bathroom, I'm sorry"

She blushed deeply, knowing he had gotten full view of her cleavage but that wasn't the only thing that caught his eye. The red mark on her neck certainly wasn't subtle, and she clearly wasn't aware of it yet.

Once she entered the living room, Steve began apologising again for walking in on her "it's ok Steve, could've been a lot worse"

"Well, I should be hitting the hay, I'm kinda tired from training today so..." Steve trailed off.

(Y/n) nodded "yes of course, goodnight Steve"

"Night doll"

It had been 3 hours and still she couldn't sleep, every time she closed her eyes she could see the look on Joe's face staring back at her as she struggled for air.

I did you a fucking favour you ungrateful little bitch

There is no one in this world who is there for you like me

His hurtful words rang in her ears constantly, it was like torture. She paced around the bedroom, running hands through her hair, there was no way she was getting to sleep tonight.

Tiptoeing her way into the kitchen, she was carful not to wake Steve as she tried to pour herself a glass of water.

"(Y/n)?"

Shit

"Why are you up this late?" He asked sitting up and rubbing eyes.

"I can't sleep" she said "just a little cold I guess"

Steve hadn't slept that great either, the couch wasn't big enough for him to sleep on and he was almost falling off of it.
