Bathing

Chapter 16

Once they arrived back in America, (y/n) was checked over multiple times for any injury's. Luckily she was okay. Slightly dehydrated though. After this she was free to go but asked Darcy to draw her a bath. She wanted to wash any memory of the past few days away immediately.

Sitting in the pool of water the Asgardian was completely zoned out. The warm, water up to her shoulders, she was finally content. Just then the door to the bathing hall of the King and Queen slightly opened as Steve crept through and made his way over to his wife. Once he reached the tub he crouched down and rubbed a bit of dirt of (y/n's) cheek.

"How are you feeling dear?" He asked concerned. His steel, blue eyes once again providing comfort.

"One could be doing better." She responded quietly as she reached for him. Steven squeezed her wet hand and placed a kiss on top of it.

After some time past, (y/n) made her way out of the bathing hall with her husband. His arm wrapped around her waste. The Queen was now wearing her clean, navy night gown as she walked along the corridors leading to her chambers. An uneasy silence filled the air as the pair entered through the the wooden doors.

(y/n) walked straight over to the four poster bed before climbing into it and snuggling into the material. Steve remained standing at the door. He watched his wife before he spoke.

"I'll be back in a second darling, Sam is outside the door if you require anything." Steven then marched out of the room before turning to James and Sam who stood outside the door. "Sam look after her until I return, Buck. We have some questioning to do." And with that Bucky followed his friend as they began walking down the cold spiral stair case towards the ground floor.

"I've told you all I know. I can't help you anymore!" Loki exclaimed. "I will not be bullied by a daft-"

"I'd stop right there, shall we?" Bucky raised his eyebrows at the man with slick backed hair who remained quiet. "Just as I though. Your highness."
Steve send over a small smile to his friend.

"I just need to know more. It doesn't make sense. Why would Thanos keep attacking us just to gain land. He has plenty. Let alone take my wife. Or send you here for no exact reason. Non of it makes any sense." Steve explained as he paced in front of his brother in laws cell. Sliding his hand through his golden hair.

"Perhaps a conversation with his own blood Steve?" suggested Bucky cautiously. Steve scoffed.

"Own blood...my wife isn't joined in blood with him-"

"I don't care! This is a serious problem and if he won't say anything-" Bucky paused as he put his hand up to prevent Loki from interrupting. "If he won't say anything to us, he may say something to his Sister."
The pair of battling blue eyes connected. Before Steve's raging one's went soft.

"In the morrow. I expect you up and willing to respectfully answer my Wife's questions. Is that understood?" Steve sighed as he turned to Loki.

"Of course." The mischievous Asgardian smirked. Before watching The King walk grumpily out of the dungeons.

Lying wide awake next to his wife. Steve couldn't sleep a wink. He was traumatised from the recent events and had so much running through his head. It was ticking like clock.
Feeling the other side of his bed move took him out of his thoughts. His head darted over to see (y/n) lay before being greeting with her beautiful eyes amiss the darkness. Her hand reached over to his bearded cheek before caressing it.

"How long have you been awake?" Steve asked gently in a deep but quiet voice. His hands pulling (y/n) into his chest.

"A few minutes. I dread to asked the same for you my love." She giggled softly before the small, delicate frown appeared back on her face.
Steve kissed he temple before running his hand through her hair. "What on your mind?"

Steve paused his actions before looking down at his wife. "I almost lost you.." he said in a whisper. (y/n) opened her mouth to speak but Steve shook his head. That's when the Asgardian noticed the tears in her husbands eyes. "I almost lost you (y/n)."

"Steve. I'm here. No thanks to you. It's quite alright now.." (y/n) spoke before sitting up and resting her forehead on his. Wiping away a few stray tears that fell from his eyes. "It's okay..."
Steve pulled his wife into a hug not wanting to let her go.

"I love you darling." He mumbled into her neck. And then kissing her cheek.

"I love you too." She smiled before kissing his lips.

Their actions became more passionate before Steve flipped them over so he was leaning over (y/n) kissing her neck.
(You can imagine the rest. But they had a very pleasurable night.)
