summary: steve wants to take a nap but the others won't let him lol
———————————-
It was no secret that Steve never gets much sleep at night. Nightmares and Anxiety Attacks changed his life at night.
That's why he would always stop training for about an hour and would just take a nap on the couch in the living room.
In the living room because there it was bright and everyone just lived their lifes there. It made him feel safe to sleep around the others.
But sleeping alone was a nightmare.
The only problem about the whole "nap" thing is that the others wouldn't let him.
Nat would pour water over his head as a joke, Clint would watch TV with the loudest sound the TV could possibly produce, Bucky would pull the light blanket away and stuff like this.
One day he had enough and tiredly walked to Tony's lab.
Without turning around Tony mumbled a small "hi cap"
"Tony?"Steve asked in between a yawn. Tony hummed softly as an answer.
"Can I sleep here? On that Sofa?"he asked, rubbing his eyes like a kid.
"oh- yeah you can also make it bigger if you-"
"no it's fine like that"Steve smiled at his friend who sat there shrugging at him with his glasses on the nose.
"there are small buttons on the inside of the sofa. If you click them you can change the heating"
"Your Sofa has a heating system?"Steve asked, looking at the small grey sofa which was standing next to the big window. You had a great view over Manhatten there.
Steve sighed and laid down there and clicked a button. Soon the sofa got cozy and warm and his eyes fell close.
He didn't need to be around everyone, if it's just Tony that made him already feel save.
Tony looked over his shoulder and saw the blonde sleeping there in peace. It looked quite adorable and Tony had an weird aching in his stomach. He ignored it and continued working.
[ 2 weeks later ]
Steve has been sleeping and spending time on the grey couch for the last two weeks now. Tony had got him a small table where he had his sketchbook and a few other things that he enjoyed.
They talked a lot and enjoyed eachothers company. When Steve had a nightmare in the other night Tony would even join him on the sofa and cuddle there with him.
By now the others thought they were dating but the two of them really didn't care.
That day was Satuday and on Saturdays Steve knew Tony wouldn't work that much. He sat on the sofa with a book in his hands.
The sofa was facing the window and had the small table with left food and a watter bottle there. If Steve needed fresh air he even had the small balkony. He was happy like that.
"Shellheaaad"Steve whined and walks over to Tony. "Hm?"
"can you sleep there with me?"
"kinky"Tony smirked.
"shut up you know what I mean"
"of course Spangles im coming"he smiled and walked over. They hugged and fell onto the couch exactly like this.
Steve's face was buried in the crook of Tony's neck and Tony's was buried into Steve's hair.
"that's nice"
"It is"
