Tomorrow Part 7 ~ Steve Rogers x Reader

Tony was super paranoid to let you sleep or even leave your side after the incident that caused you to slip into your subconscious. You put up with it for the rest of the day, especially because he needed it. Steve's bed was pushed closer to yours to make one big bed so that he could be next to you.

As the evening came, Tony fell asleep awkwardly in his wheelchair while Steve fell asleep with his head on your shoulder. You were almost too afraid to fall asleep but didn't want to say anything.

"Hello," Pepper greeted quietly, looking at the scene around her. She smiled. "It seems like worrying about you has worn them out."

"It seems that way," you responded quietly.

"You okay?"

"Can't sleep."

Pepper gave an understanding nod as she went behind Tony's wheelchair. "I'll get a doctor or a nurse in here to give you something. You need to rest." She begins pushing Tony away.

"Pepper?"

The woman paused. "Yes?"

"Steve promised me some sort of date thing. I know that he's going to stress about it and won't be able to actually plan it because he's unwilling to leave my side. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But... could you help him? Like, don't tell him I put you up to it, but help him so that it's an enjoyable date for him as well."

"Of course," she smiled. "Goodnight, Y/N."

"Goodnight, Pep."

You closed your eyes after Pepper left with Tony, trying to get some rest. It wasn't long later when you heard someone come in and inject something into your IV. You almost instantly fall asleep, so grateful for the rest.

Breathing in deeply, a sleepy smile formed on Steve's face as your scent hit his nostrils. He carefully moved closer to you, pressing a kiss to your exposed neck. Steve leaned back and took you in. He loved the feeling of being next to you, especially in a moment like this when you were peacefully asleep and close to him. He longed to feel this way every morning, as much as he could. Steve smiles as he kisses you under your ear. You begin to stir slightly and he presses another kiss under your ear, beard brushing against your face.

"Morning," you rasped, a smile forming.

Steve moved so that you could see his face. "Morning, sweetheart," he whispered. "How did you sleep?"

You bit your bottom lip as you shook your head slightly. "Someone had to come in and give me drugs to help me sleep."

"I'm so sorry. Why didn't you wake me?"

"You needed the sleep too."

"Not if you're not getting sleep."

"It's fine, Steve. I eventually slept."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure. And I didn't even dream."

Steve nodded, still worried. "How are you feeling?"

"Fine. I little uncomfortable but no pain."

Steve immediately sat up and began assessing you. "What can I help with?"

"Steve."

He rambled on, ignoring you. "Do you need me to call someone in?"

"Steve."

He pushed himself off the bed. "I can go get—"

"Steve!" His eyes snapped up to meet yours. "You can't fix how uncomfortable I am. My lower half is numb. I have tubes in me and a diaper on to help me go to the bathroom. It's uncomfortable, that's just how it is."
