A/N: This chapter involves one of my most favorite interactions between Alexx and Steve. Enjoy!
Steve and I had been out of the hospital for a week and a half now and we were completely healed.
I laid on the bed, tossing and turning. I couldn't possibly fall asleep.
I was stressed about mastering my new fire ability, about Bucky, about Nat and about Steve. I was stressing about Steve being stressed. I was stressing about being stressed!
I tried to clear my mind and rolled to my side.
Uncomfortable.
I rolled to my back.
No.
I rolled onto my stomach.
No.
There was no way I was going to get comfortable, I was way too stressed. I also feared that my nightmares would return, or that Ashley would find me again. Ever since she told me about my past, about me being HYDRA once upon a time, my sleep had been plagued by nightmares.
I punched the pillow and gave up.
How can Steve sleep? He's got to be just as stressed as me, if not more.
I laid there, listening to the sounds around me; the ticking of a clock, the honking of cars passing by, water dripping from the leaky faucet in the bathroom.
Nope.
I rolled off the bed, grabbed a pillow and two thick blankets, and went into the living room.
Steve was laying on the couch, sleeping peacefully. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't jealous.
Steve had given me his room to sleep in, being a gentleman. He didn't want me to sleep on the couch.
I put the pillow and one blanket aside, then laid out the other blanket, turning it into a makeshift bed on the floor right beside the couch. I put the pillow at one end, grabbed the second blanket and laid down. Pulling the blanket up to my chin, I inhaled deeply and smiled, suddenly feeling safe, being in the same room as Captain America. My eyelids became droopy, and to my surprise, I fell asleep.
