Steve Rogers Imagines

Still Human

Being injured and out of commission was alright on a normal day as I was still able to do most things, on the days where I had to miss out on a missions it was quite boring especially when the mission lasted 2 weeks. At first it was nice to finally have some peace and quiet, but it soon becomes boring the team was literally the life in the tower. I especially missed Steve, the bed was cold and much larger without him in it with me. the mission was supposed to last just over a week but apparently it was taking much longer than expected and they were trying to get home as soon as possible. Steve had called to let me know but I hadn't heard from him or any of the others for the last 5 days, JARVIS informed me that they were all okay but it still didn't calm me, not at all. I was just finishing making myself some lunch when I saw the jet fly past towards the hanger, "finally" I smile dropping what I was doing and making my way to the hanger. I pass through the doors just as the jet door opens, I'm greeted with solemn faces as the team sulks going back towards their rooms. I then see Steve shouldering his pack and walking out of the jet his gaze fixed onto the floor, "Steve?" I ask catching his attention. He glances up and gives me a weak smile and walks over to me "how was the mission, did you get that hydra agent?" I ask rubbing his arm, "uh yeah we got them, they're back at shield for interrogation" he tells me, I could tell something wasn't right though "then why are you do down?" I ask. he glance away and shakes his head "just as we arrested them, they set of a bomb in the local town" he explains, my jaw drops as I look at his sad expression "oh no Steve" I say pulling him into a hug. He wraps his arms around me and buries his head in the crook of my neck "we tried to get to it as soon as possible but when we did I" he starts and I could tell he was struggling so I interrupted him. "shh Steve, not now you did your best and that's all you can do" I say softly stroking the back of his head "now I was just making myself lunch but why don't you go have it while I put away your stuff" I suggest. Steve pulls out of the hug and smiles slightly more this time "is it my favourite?" he smirks, "don't you mean our favourite?" I smile back glad he was feeling slightly better.

After putting his stuff away I find Steve sitting at the kitchen with a half-eaten sandwich in front of him, the rest of the team were also there and they also seemed to be doing better as they were back to the typical arguments. I sat down next to him and stole the half of the sandwich he was just staring at "hey!" he whines making me chuckle "sorry but I'm hungry, here" I smile ripping it in half and giving half to him "thanks" he smiles finishing up the sandwich. "hey (Y/N) I'm sorry for missing our shopping trip, we can go another time" Nat says pointing the knife she was currently using at me "you're not going to force me with that are you?" I chuckle, Nat notices what she was doing and spins the knife in her hands "maybe depends on your answer" she smirks. "of course we can do it another time, I'm looking forward to it" I smile glancing back over at Steve who was now just staring out of the window "Steve honey are you okay?" I ask, he turns to look at me and smiles "yeah I'm fine" he says. "hey why don't we all have a movie night together and just chill out later" tony suggest swirling his drink, a murmur of agreements comes from the team "tony will we actually be able to choose the movie?" I ask hopefully. "what my choice in movie is good" tony argues making everyone groan "okay fine we'll draw movies from a hat" he sighs "everyone put a suggestion in by 5pm sharp any later they suggesting will not be put in the hat". "I think I'm going to go lie down for a bit, I'm still quite sore" Steve mutters getting up and silently making his way out of the room "okay gramps we'll try not to wake you" tony jokes, I glare at him and Nat slaps him round the back of the head "tony bad timing" she mutters. I glance over to the door that Steve just left though wanting to follow but I knew better, the mission hadn't gone exactly to plan so he needed time to recuperate from it. "hey (Y/N) I could actually use your help doing some repairs" tony says downing the rest of his drink "will you be in the labs too Bruce?" I ask hopefully, Bruce nods his head "yeah I'm in" I agree standing up. "wait why does whether Bruce will be in there or not matter?" tony asks pointing to Bruce "because you on your own in the labs is annoying" Bruce explains, tony grabs his chest in shock "but we're science bros" he mutters.
