I began to wake up and snuggled further into the bed, wanting only to stay in the soft, comforting warmth. I heard a sigh behind me, and a warm, strong and moved around my waist, pulling me back against a warm, hard chest.  I smiled to myself and Steve shifted behind me. He kissed my cheek gently, and then rested his chin on my shoulder.

‘Sorry I had to wake you up every hour.’ He mumbled. I could only laugh.

‘Shouldn’t it be me saying sorry for making you wake up every hour?’ I sat up and turned around to face him. He smiled and kissed me softly.

‘Anytime, if I get to wake up with you.’ He said sweetly. I blushed beetroot red. Why does he have to be so sweet?

I sighed and grabbed his hand, pulling him off the bed with me. ‘Let’s go get food.’ I said, feeling hungry. And tired. Coffee needed. We walked out into the kitchen and I started to feel light-headed. Steve must have noticed, as one of his hands grabbed mine, while the other went around my waist. We walked out into the living area and Steve tried to direct me towards the couch, but I headed off in the direction of the kitchen.

‘No. Food first. Then sitting.’ I told him, pulling him after me. Bruce was in the kitchen, cooking something. I had no idea what it was, but it smelled amazing. I sat on a stool at the counter and watched him as he cooked. He didn’t even seem to notice that I was there as he expertly combined colourful ingredients.

‘I didn’t know you could cook!’ I said to him. He looked up at me and smiled.

I tapped my feet to a beat on the stool. I was restless. I hated getting hurt, it made me oddly energetic. I got up and walked over to Steve, who was sat on the couch, talking to Tony. I sat down beside him and his arm went around my shoulder.

‘But seriously, you had all those girls falling over you after last summer. How on earth did you resist? I mean, I had Pepper, but you... you had a picture in a compass. How’d you do it?’ Tony asked, smirking at Steve. I turned and looked up at Steve, curious myself. I wasn’t one to get jealous of past loves, and honestly wanted to know his secret.

Steve shrugged. ‘I guess I was just waiting for the right partner.’ He said, smiling down at me. I blushed and kissed his cheek.

‘Seriously though. You’re too gorgeous to not have had a fling or two in the past year or so, before you met me.’ I said, my curiosity brimming over. Tony scoffed at my remark.

‘Jealous much?’ he said. I turned and playfully glared up at his smirk.

‘Actually, I have a weird ability to think of guys as friends, regardless of my relation to them, excluding bad relationships. So honestly,’ I turned back to Steve and shrugged, smiling. ‘I’m just curious.’

Steve looked at me warmly, smiling. ‘Actually, you’re the first since I woke up.’ he said before kissing me gently. I blushed again before kissing him back.

‘Get a room!’ Tony moaned. I chuckled and looked over to him.

‘We don’t say ‘get a room’ when you and Pepper get all handsy with PDA’s being flung every direction!’ I countered, smirking at him. He simply shrugged.

‘My house.’

Steve frowned at me, confused. ‘PDAs?’ he asked. I smiled at him.

‘Public displays of affection.’ I explained.
