Only human

Six

Even if I say it will be alright I still hear you say you want to end your life.

Steve walked home slowly his feet dragging against the rough pavement. As he entered the house the tears he had been holding in came out , it was his first fight with Tony ever. They had disagreed and argued but never yelled or fought.

He quickly checked the mail, high hopes that his brother had written back but to his dismay it was just bills. All these bills he couldn't afford, they were pilling up like crazy and he feared he was soon going to lose the house. He couldn't take it anymore.

He drug himself into the bathroom and collapsed on the floor, memories of the other night flashing through his mind. He leaned up against the wall and slowly reaches into the small cabinet under the sink. After digging around he found what he was looking for , a blade.  He closed his eyes as he cut once , twice ...three times ...which eventually blurred into four then five and six. Eventually his vision blurred , the blade dropping from his shaking hand.

Slowly lay down on the cold tiled floor looking up at the pale grey ceiling. The tears slipped down his cheeks and stained the front of his shirt. He gently licked his cracked dry lips and grimaced at the taste of blood. He had never wanted someone more than in this moment. He needed to be saved.

He lay still as the hours ticked by slowly. He knew he shouldn't have cut so deep but he had no control this time. He could feel the blood looking around him , engulfing him. His breathing slowed and his heart beat slower. His eyes closed slowly and as he felt the world slipping away the only thing he could muster was a weak , " Tony. "

The first time he came to was when Tony was standing over him, eyes red and puffy. Steve tried to say something anything but his voice seemed to be lost. He just lay there helplessly. He could see Tony's lips moving but his voice was muffled , it made him mad. Before he thought too much about it he darkness washed over him again.

The second time he was being out into the back of an ambulance. The sirens still going , two paramedics were trying to gain information from a clearly distressed Tony. As Steves gurney was lifted up he could hear Tony screaming his name , begging to be allowed to go with him. Server wasn't able to see the outcome , he was gone again. 

It was now the third time. Steve stood by the bed , he watched as the doctors try and save him. They shocked his heart once , twice. Everybody was rushing around yelling  orders.  Did he cut that bad ? What had happened ? How much blood was lost ...? All these questions he couldn't answer. He reached out and held his hand looking down at himself with his head tilted slightly, "stay." Was all he said as he stepped  back and sat against the wall eventually disappearing.

Steve slowly opened his eyes , squinting as the bright lights of the room shone right on him. He could feel somebody holding his hand and he groaned slightly in pain.

"Tony ...?" He questioned. He really needed to apologize to him for freaking out , and for scaring him.

"No. Not Tony sorry. " Steve turned his head at this and was met with the fave of Howard stark , Tony's father , his father. Howard's fave was neutral. His emotions hidden, but his eyes said it all , grief. He had disappointed him and he hated that , he couldn't change it now. Howard and Tony probably thought he was crazy now , they would disown him. He didn't need that. He was surprised when arms wrapped tightly around him.

"Thank you for not dying. I lost one son already ...I cannot lose another, " Howard mumbled as he began to weep. Steve's eyes widened and he couldn't help but think , how long was I out ? 

"T-tony ? Want Tony " he croaked softly. He saw Howard's face change and he soon became confused. What had happened ?

"No. Tony's not coming back." Steve's world crashed down, he felt weak. He needed to breathe , just breathe.

What the hell happened to Tony ?
