After leading the rest of the team to their bedrooms and telling Nat and Steve goodnight you made your way to the living room with Stephen to say goodnight so you could hopefully get a goodnight's rest.

"Goodnight Stephen, I had a wonderful time tonight. You'll be here tomorrow, right?" you sleepily said.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." He said smiling.

You smiled back and hugged him tightly inhaling his scent once more before yawning from the need to sleep.

"Go to bed Y/N." He scoffed.

"Goodnight Stephen," you said as you started to trudge towards your room.

"Goodnight darling."

Did he just call you darling you thought? I'm probably just sleepy you thought as you changed clothes wiped off the makeup remaining on your face and got into your bed. If he did it was nice at least you thought while curling up in your blankets and succumbing to the dark void of sleep.

Crash!

You woke up to the sound of thunder and looked at your alarm clock, it was only 4 AM, meaning that no one was awake and you were awake in a storm, with lightning, which you were deathly scared of. You knew that Nat would kill you if you woke her up and Steve you didn't even bother to consider, you didn't even want to bother with Wanda and Vision and risk anything with that, so that left only one person, your sorcerer. You decided to get some light and form a flame in your hand to see outside, it was bad. So you hurriedly took your sling ring from your bedtable and formed a portal to the sanctum in front of Stephen's door.

"Stephen?" you called quietly as you lightly knocked, not wanting to wake Wong.

"Y/N? Come in." You heard his husky voice call from the other side of the doorway.

"I'm sorry for waking you up, but there's a storm and I'm scared of lightning because of Hydra and the electricity they used..." you rambled on opening his door to see him perfectly illuminated by the fire in your hand, shirtless and sitting up in his bed, gosh he was fit, you could see the outline of his abs from the light.

"It's fine. Did you want to stay?"

"Yes. I'm sorry, it's just Hydra wasn't that long ago and the memories are still pretty fresh and..."

"I get it. I still have nightmares from the crash sometimes."

"Can I try to sleep on the chair?" you asked pointing at the small plush chair in the corner of his room.

"We're grown adults we can share a bed."

"Thanks," you mumbled praying that the dark covered your blush. You walked over to the bed and climbed in pulling the covers around you.

"Come closer, I don't bite."

"Okay." Gods, you were seriously blushing now, if anyone could see your face you were sure that you looked like a tomato. Then unexpectedly Stephen pulled you close to him so you were laying against his bare chest. If Wong or anyone walks in on this I'm going to die you thought. You felt warm, a fuzzy feeling filling your chest, he smelled good, almost like cinnamon. It felt good to have his arms wrapped around you, one on your chest and one on your waist. You wished you could wake up like this every day. Why would I want that? You wonder, as you slowly start to get sleepier and fully relax curled up in the sorcerer's arms and let sleep take you away. The storm no longer bothered you and your nightmares went away allowing you to have a dreamless sleep.

Stephen's POV:

There had been a storm for most of the night, it was almost relaxing with the sound of rain all throughout the sanctum. I had been asleep for what was most likely a few hours when I heard something in front of my door, it surely wasn't Wong because that man sleeps like a horse.

"Stephen?" I heard a voice that sounded familiar call out, it couldn't be Y/N, why would she be here at night? Tomorrow was her birthday surely she would be resting for that. I heard shuffling near the door so it must be her.

I welcomed her in and she explained her nightmares from the time that she was captured, I didn't know she still had them, it must be terrible. I still have them of the crash all the time, of my hands, I wonder what she thinks of them, she's mentioned them before but never anything good or bad about them. I know they shake too much and it's noticeable but yet she hasn't pointed it out. She must not care, gosh she is perfect, she even looks perfect with no makeup on or anything besides pajamas.

My heart was pounding as I told her to get into bed with me. I haven't felt this way since Christine and even with her I never felt this way so soon. Y/N was going to be a great member of the Avengers, I could just tell, she had improved greatly since I first started training with her and would continue to. She might even be one of the most powerful people on the planet, with more powers than I've ever seen anyone have and powerful ones as well, she may even be more powerful than the Maximoff girl. She truly was wonderful I thought as I pulled her to my chest trying to help calm her. I felt good with her, at peace, something I truly hadn't felt in years since becoming a sorcerer. With her, it was easy to succumb to sleep and not worry at all.
