Part 78 - Old Married Couple

Tony's POV
I wake to find y/n asleep holding my hand, I truly loved her, she is my best friend and it hurt to see her like this.

We had taken 3 steps forward to end up 1 step back. The only thing that had changed for the better was her talking about it, she admitted she was struggling. In a very y/n way but still.

'All I'm saying is a in a car you have better chance of survival'

I hear Sam and Bucky arguing 'hey! You two zip it!' I say between gritted teeth

They come over and see y/n. 'She ok?' Bucky asks

'Well clearly not...' Sam replies

'Hey will you two knock it off?' I say pissed

'What happened?' Sam asks

I shrug sighing 'she just, she's not sleeping...'

'And the hand holding?' Sam asks

'It's comfort Sam... when's Loki back?' Bucky asks

I throw my hand up in the air 'no idea...'

'When does she see that sexy doctor...' Sam asks

I rub my face 'today..'

'Then she'll be fine and so will I...' he says

Bucky whacks him over the head

'Ow!'

'You were pissing me off...'

I groan 'can you both take this elsewhere?'

They nod Bucky shoves Sam away and they continue down the corridor.

I look over to her and she looks at me smiling 'they're really like an old married couple..'

I smile 'you're telling me..'

She sits up 'sorry about last night...'

I shrug 'some people just can't resist sleeping with me...'

She pulls a face 'gross tony...'

I smile, she looks at her phone 'crap! Gotta go, I'll be back later!' She says rushing off the sofa falling over several times to the door.

I rub my face, where was she off to now?

A few hours had passed and still no sight of her.

'Mr stark...' a woman's voice calls

I turn to see her 'dr Ray... good afternoon'

'Would you be able to get y/n it's time for her session...'

I smile 'umm about that she sort of rushed off this morning and hadn't returned yet...'

She nods 'very well, for the time being can I speak with you?'

I nod 'yeah sure shoot'

'She missed our last session... has she been ok?'

I furrow my brows 'what? When?'

'Monday... hence her session today'

I roll my eyes 'she's... not sleeping, well she is but not a great amount'

She tilts her head 'that surprises me is Loki around?'

I furrow my brows 'he's not here, has she not been keeping you updated? Like at all?'

The door bursts open y/n stands there a bit cut up.

'Oh hi Doc...' she says coming in

'Where were you?' I ask

'Umm doing my job... Peter had called hence running out this morning'

'Y/n let's go have a chat...' Dr Ray says

Y/n POV
We sit down in the office.

'So how have things been?' She asks

I shrug 'could be better...'

'What's this I hear about Loki not being here?'

'He got called on to go back to Asgard...'

She nods 'and is that why your sleeping pattern has gone out the window?'

I smile 'Tony's been talking to you, is there much point to the session or...'

She leans forward 'y/n you've been on your own, clearly work has became a distraction and your running on next to no sleep as well as cancelling Monday...'

I shrug 'yeah well a lots been on...'

She sighs 'what's stopping you sleeping?'

I groan sitting back 'I'm having dreams again... that's all'

She nods 'and is it of the same matter?'

'Yes obviously... it's stupid. I thought I was better and yet Loki goes and I feel like I'm just going back to that place again. Tony slept on the sofa with me because I can't sleep on my own! What the fuck is that about!'

'Do you think it's a bad thing that you have to lean on someone for support?'

I look to her dumbfounded 'umm yes? What adult woman can't sleep without someone? I feel like a child with a dummy...'

She nods 'y/n there's nothing wrong with having support... especially in cases like yours.. your brain needs that safety net...'

'Anything else?' I ask

'Yes actually, I want to add another session into each week...'

'Why?'

She raises a brow 'I don't want you in that dark place again... for the time being see if you can find a sleeping buddy or at least sleep in the same room as someone... sleep is important for you y/n your mind is constantly thinking...'

'Can't you just prescribe me something?'

'And I think that's the end of our session, see you Saturday..'

She gets up and leaves, I groan laying back in my seat. Fucking sleeping buddy...
