"Ubby.... Papa.... Bubby." He heard above him while he was being shaken quite roughly."What's wrong Sweetheart, come on tell Daddy, you're, okay?" Tony said beside him as the bed begin to shift and another weight seemed to be settled beside him. Okay Steve's now in the bed with them.
"S'bangs are scaring RoyRoy."
"Oh well Leroy doesn't need to be scared its only thunder and me and Bucky will look after him, won't we?"
He's not sure when he opened his eyes but one look at Steve's tear-stained cheeks was enough to wake him up instantly. "Yeah, Bud you don't have to be scared, me and Tones will protect you."
"Now why don't you lay down right there, it's only 3am, way too early to get up so just snuggle in. Good Boy and Leroy too, can't forget him. Now we just need someone to get up and get Blankie right, he must be lonely without you and neither of us can get up we've just got comfy."
"Oh, I see how it is I'll go shall I, keep the bed warm I'll be back." Bucky says after glaring at Tony's smug face but nonetheless gets up to retrieve the beloved blanket. Once he returned Steve was snuggled on Tony chest while he was having his back rubbed, well that's one way to put Steve back to sleep. He carefully slips the blanket under his arm next to the lion before getting comfortable, and just because he can put his cold feet on Tony's shins because if he moves to much Steve will wake up again. He'll be in so much trouble in the morning.
It wasn't until he heard Steve's breathes even out before he fell asleep but he's sure he felt fingers stroking his cheek, but he was too far gone to be sure or look himself.
—————————————————————
He could feel someone patting his butt, but he was too warm and comfy to wake up and see who it was. He's sure it's Bucky but he can't be sure. It's not until he hears a giggle that he wakes up and manages to pry his eyes open. Peter is sat up next to him dressed for the day watching the tv, it wasn't until Tony walked back in the room, he know who was patting his bum.
"One coffee for you, one coffee for me, one milk for you and one milk for you." Tony says as he hands drinks out to Bucky, himself, Peter and when he makes eye contact with Steve gives him a Captain America bottle of milk.
"Hold on is he awake, he's been dead to the world for the last hour." Bucky says as he kisses his head a few times before sitting up a bit more and drinking his coffee. "Nu uh Mister come here you're not laying like that and drinking I'll give you a clue." Bucky says before hands slide under him, and he is rearranged until he is leaning back on Bucky's chest. At least he can now watch the tv with whatever Peter's watching.
"Bucky why Stevie not answering my questions."
"He's not awake enough yet Squirt, let him drink his milk and then he'll probably be up for talking." Bucky says as he looks away from his phone when he hears whining. It's way too early for whining, well it's like 10am but he's not been out of bed yet.
"Right, me and Pete are going to cook up a storm, so the two lazy boys need to get dressed please." Tony says as he walks back out of the closet fully dressed and clean shaven and makes, he's way out the door after ruffling Steve's hair who's seems to be dozing off again while Peter chased after him.
Bucky left Steve in the middle of the bed while he went and got dressed and styled his hair. He's knew he had about 30 minutes as he could hear them making pancakes. Steve was in the same position he left him dozing off, which isn't ideal as he is spending the afternoon with Bruce and Natasha and when he's been up in the night his anxiety is normally higher than usually and normally leads to a few meltdowns throughout the day.
