The Demigod From Asgard - A Steve Rogers x Reader Story

Chapter 28: Making Room

Warnings: Hospital setting! Mention of Injuries! Fluff! Bit of Angst!

Arriving at the hospital they took Steve straight into surgery leaving you to anxiously pacing back and forth in the waiting room.

"Y/N! How is he?" Nat asks rushing in.

"I don't know they won't tell me anything! It's been over an hour and nothing" you tell her continuing to pace back and forth.

"He'll be fine he's got that serum pumping through him. That's only gonna help" Nat says grabbing your arm to pull you to a stop.

"So why do nurses keep rushing past refusing to talk or even look at me" you sigh turning to face her, barely holding it together.

Nat sighs but doesn't say anything except hold up a bag "I brought you a change of clothes" she tells you.

"I don't think I can go Nat not until I hear something" you sigh shaking your head, sniffling back the tears.

"He'll be fine I promise, plus when he's out of surgery they're not gonna want someone covered in grime and dirt hanging around" Nat tells you softly.

"Okay fine but grab me as soon as anything happens" you say grabbing the bag and heading out towards a bathroom.

After changing into the clothes Nat brought you which consisted of a simple navy cotton top and jeans. Leaning over the sink you splash your face with some water taking a deep breath. Looking up at yourself in the mirror you still looked rough. You had marks around your neck from the collar.

When you walk back into the waiting room your see Nat talking to one of the nurses.

"What's happening?" You ask rushing over.

"He's still in surgery but so far he's stable" the nurse tells you.

"So far?" You question.

"Yes, due to the serum his body is repairing itself before we can get in there so it's taking longer than expected" the nurse sighs.

"Shit, but he'll be okay right" you ask worriedly.

"We believe so yes, it's just taking a while he's in the best hands possible" the nurse tells you reassuringly.

"Thank you let us know when there's any news" Nat says before leading you to sit down on one of the chairs.

A couple hours later the doctor walks in telling Steve was out of surgery. He was stable but still under anaesthesia. The doctor leads you Steve's room, stepping in you took a shaky breath when you saw him.

He looked terrible, even worse than before. The number of wires and tubes attached to him keeping him stable was shocking. You quickly move to sit beside him pulling your seat closer. You gently take his hand careful of all the wires.

"Told you he'd be okay" Nat says.

"I know. Now I just want him to wake up" you sigh not taking your eyes off him.

You stayed beside Steve the entire time. Watching as doctors and nurses came, checked on him and left. Sam came and visited playing music because 'apparently people can still hear when they're under'. He'd tell you to rest but you'd refuse, not wanting to miss a thing.

Every night you'd fall asleep sat next to Steve. Your head resting on his arm. It had been 2 days and Steve was still under. The doctors said they wanted to play it safe, keep him under until they were certain his body was healed enough and doing so properly.

Finally though they were reducing the amount of anaesthetic and that he should hopefully be waking up soon.

"Hey how is he?" Sam asks walking in.
