T'Challa's Pov:

"What are you doing up!?" I looked up and saw Tony frowning as Stephen stood in front of him.

"I came down to eat," Tony said.

"You need to be resting," Stephen said.

"Steph...Me laying in bed is not going to change anything." Tony said.

"Yes but moving around isn't going to help either," Stephen said and Tony sighed.

"Please...I haven't been myself and I just want to feel..." Tony trailed off and my heart broke.

"Anthony..." Stephen said.

"Please." Tony said softly looking at Stephen. "I just want to feel normal for a little while." He said.

"Alright...just tell us if you feel funny," Stephen said and Tony smiled.

"Alright...Thanks, Stephy." Tony said and Stephen's eyes softened. Tony sat next to me and looked at me. "Still strutting your stuff I see," Tony said.

"Only for you." I purred and his cheeks dusted a slight pink making me grin.

"Sam...T'Challa's flirting with me," Tony said.

"I am not." I scoffed.

"Are too," Tony said and Sam rolled his eyes turning back to the food. I smiled and winked at Tony making him gasp. "Sam, he's doing it again," Tony said.

"I have no clue what you are talking about, Ukatana," I said and I reached over forcing him out of his seat. He yelped and I chuckled as I pulled him into my lap.

"Stephen, save me." Tony pleaded and Stephen looked at us before going back to reading his book.

"You will never escape me." I purred and his face got redder.

"I̵̳̐ ̶̘̀h̴̟̃ä̴̳ṭ̶͐e̷͎̽ ̴͖́y̸̳͑o̴̮̐u̴̙͐," Tony said.

"Well...I love you." I whispered and Tony looked at me now. I pressed a kiss to his forehead and he chuckled.

"Damn cat," Tony said.

"Annoying monkey," I said and Tony acted offended.

"I'll have you know I'm the most intelligent of the monkeys," Tony said and I chuckled nuzzling the side of his head. He seemed shocked by it and I blinked surprised I did it. "You um...feeling a bit affectionate today pussycat?" Tony asked and I saw Sam looking at me.

"Food's ready," Sam said and Tony moved off me to sit in his own chair. Sam sat next to me after everyone got a plate and he was giving me a questioning look.

"Hey, guys," Steve said walking in making us look at him.

"Steve..." Stephen said.

"Yeah?" Steve asked.

"Welcome back," Tony said and Steve smiled at him.

"How are you feeling?" Steve asked.

"About that," Stephen said.

Sam's Pov:

"What!?" Steve asked as T'Challa did the dishes.

"I'm sorry," Stephen said.

"No, Stephen it's not your fault...You saved Tony." Steve said.

"That's what I told him," Tony said.

"They're right," I said.

"See Sam even..." Tony stopped mid-sentence making us look at him to see his eyes flickering blue as he clutched his chest.
