Stony: Nightmares

Tony was working late in his lab, working on a new suit. He lets out a long yawn, covering his mouth with the back of his wrist.

"I should probably call it a night." Tony said to himself.

"Sir." JARVIS said.

"What is it, buddy?" Tony asked the A.I..

"It seems that Captain Rogers is having a nightmare right now." JARVIS replied.

"Alright, I'll go check on him." Tony said standing up from his swivel chair.

He heads to Steve's room where the door was slightly ajar. Steve hated having the door completely closed while he slept, said it made him feel trapped.

"Cap? You okay, buddy?" Tony whispered, slipping into Steve's room.

Steve is all curled up in a ball, trembling and whimpering. When Tony tries to nudge Steve awake, the super soldier wakes with a gasp of fear and punches Tony in the nose.

"Gahh, sh*t!" Tony groaned, laying on the floor and holding his nose.

"Tony? Oh god, Tony!" Steve said as he became more awake and aware of his surroundings.

He jumps out of bed and kneels beside his friend.

"Oh geeze, I'm so sorry, I swear I didn't mean to..." Steve said frantically.

"Woah, soldier boy, calm down. It's okay, it was an accident." Tony assured him.

"But you're bleeding!" Steve replied worriedly.

"Steve, buddy, I'll be fine. It's just a busted nose, it's not the end of the world." Tony said standing up.

"Can I use your bathroom to clean up?" he asked.

"Let me help you...please." Steve said pouting like a scolded dog.

Tony agrees to let Steve help him with his nose, then the two of them go into Steve's bathroom. In there, Steve has Tony sit on the toilet seat while he retrieved the first aid kit from under the sink. Fist, he cleans away the blood on Tony's nose. Thankfully, Tony's nose wasn't broken, so all Steve had to do was place some rolled up gauze up Tony's nostrils. During the whole time that Steve was taking care of Tony's nose, Steve's hands shook and trembled.

"You alright, Steve?" Tony asked brushing his hand against Steve's bicep.

"I...no, not really." Steve sighed, knowing that Tony would see through any lie he would've told.

"What was the nightmare about?" Tony asked, his hand sliding up to cup the back of Steve's neck.

"It was the day Bucky fell off the train, but instead of him it was you. I saw you fall to your death and there was nothing I could do to save you." Steve told Tony, his voice wavering.

Tony pulls Steve's head to rest on his shoulder and gently runs his fingers through the hair at the base of his skull.

"Steve, it would take more than that to get rid of me, so there's nothing for you to worry about." Tony said before turning his head to press a kiss to Steve's temple.

"Tony....what are we?" Steve asked.

"I don't know. How about we discuss that over dinner. How does Friday sound?" Tony replied, his other hand finding its way to Steve's hip.

"Are you asking me out?" Steve giggled.

"Mhm, indeed I am." Tony said, rubbing his thumb on Steve's hip bone.

"Well, in that case, yes I would love to have dinner with you on Friday." Steve said nuzzling against Tony's neck.

Tony grabs Steve's jaw and tilts his head up so he can kiss his lips. Steve hums into the kiss, clenching Tony's t-shirt in his hands.

"Let's get you back to bed, soldier." Tony said pulling out of the kiss.

The two of them get into Steve's bed, Tony propped up on the pillows and Steve laying his head on Tony's chest. Hearing the soft beating of Tony's heat lulls the super soldier to sleep. Tony waits a few minutes before falling asleep to see whether or not Steve would have another nightmare. When it seemed that Steve was peacefully sleeping in his arms, Tony joins him in the land of slumber.
