sleep

y/n pov

i cannot sleep at all tonight. usually when i can't sleep i will tinker with projects or do whatever however right now i felt as tho i was confined to my room. i didn't like this. 

i was incredibly bored and it was already late. the tower was dead silent and i hated it. silence is always louder than actual noise. 

deciding i won't get any sleep tonight i get up from bed grabbing one of the b lankets from the bed and walking to the elevator. 

with the blanket huddled around my shoulders i instruct friday to take me up to the roof which she complies with quickly. 

soon enough i was stepping out into the cold wind instantly relaxed by the view. i sat down on the edge of the tower my feet hanging off the edge. 

swinging my legs carelessly i bundled the blanket around me a bit tighter looking down at the streets below me as cars still raced around the roads. 

suddenly i noticed a certain guy in red and blue spandex swing past the tower. seconds later that figure had plopped himself down next to me. 

"i thought you went to bed" he said taking his mask off. 

"couldn't sleep" i shrugged. i offered the older teen the other side of my blanket but he shook his head explaining his suit had a heater and the swinging's kinda an exercise so he wasn't cold. 

"you want to go for a swing, it could get your mind off whatever your thinking about" peter offered. i was still quite sore from earlier events however why not. 

"yeah, sure"

i held my arms out telling y/n to wrap her legs around me. since she was only 13 she was smaller and easy to carry. i held one hand around her back as she wraps her arms around my torso tightly. at least i didn't have to tell her to hang on. 

without warning i jumped of the roof. she didn't scream she just held her head firmly into my chest. i swung around buildings as she refused to move her head. that was until i got to my favourite spot in new york.

"you can look y/n" i said she pulled her head from my chest looking as we were on the ground and unwraps her legs from around me. she stands next to me looking out over new york. 

"you see over there" i pointed to a building a bit away "thats midtown tech" 

"oh. its huge" she stares at the building. y//n looks around alot and i gather that she hasn't seen alot of new york. i wait taking a seat as she looks around the city in aw. 

i look across the buildings and notice its probably around 3am currently. we should really be getting back to go to sleep. 

"we better get going" i inturupted her gazing. she nodded and i swung us back home. the second time y/n was more relaxed and looked around us as we swung back to the tower. 

"thank you peter." she nodded as she grabbed the blanket she had abandoned. 

"you going to bed?" i twisted my head pulling my mask off after noticing she sat back down on the ledge. 

"no. nightmares" she shakes her head. looking back at the city. 

"oh uh, ms romanoff is really good with that sort of thing. her and ms maximoff are great listeners. mr rodgers and hawkeye are to. r-really anyone on the team including me will listen if you need" i tried to help her listing off people i knew could help.

"thank you but im alright. ill see you tomorrow peter" she gave a small wave which i returned. when i got downstairs i saw ms romanoff and mj in the kitchen with teas.

when i exited the elevator their heads snapped towards me "peter where you coming back from?" ms romanoff questions. 

"uh patrolling. w-what are you guys doing up" i crossed my arms joining them by the bench. 

"i couldnt sleep and mj doesnt sleep" ms romanoff said mj humming in agreement suspicious. 

"right. uh by the way y/n is on the roof she couldn't sleep because off nightmares" i explained pointing behind me as if that was where she was even tho it was a couple floors up. 

"shit  sorry mj id love to talk about to kill a mocking bird another time" she leaves the room presumably to go up to the roof.

another person sits next to me and i look over and see nat. i offer my blanket and she accepts letting me wrap the blanket around her shoulder. 

"what is it this time" she says softly wrapping an arm around my lower back. i tilt my head so its leaning on her shoulder. she gently rubs my side urging me to open up a bit. 

"everytime i close my eyes i think the next time i wake up tony will be looming over me. i can feel it. its like hes waiting for the right time to break out of the raft because i know he will and come kill me. and i cant sleep knowing thats a possibility" 

"oh honey" she pulls me in for a proper hug. she lifts us off the edge of the tower and to the floor of the roof. my legs were hanging as she hugged me so i lifted them up wrapping them around her waist hoping she didnt mind. i dig my head further into her chest feeling an immense amount of comfort right now. 

she makes sure the blanket was securely wrapped around me before slowly walking around the roof rubbing my back. 

"he wont be back for a long while sweetheart" she coos assuringly. in my head i knew that was most likely the case however i just couldnt comprehend the fact he was gone. at least for now. 

she wraps her arms around my back lose but tight enough she was still hugging me. walking into the elevator she keeps me in her arms for the short ride. 

slowly i felt myself falling asleep and for once i let myself.
