The avengers weren't the most loved people in the world. No not at all. Who especially hated them was the government. Once again they had ruined a whole city just by being on a mission.
For their own safety all six of them disappeared from media. For a few days, or weeks, or months they had to stay at a hotel far away from Manhattan.
"We only got 4 rooms"Nat sighed since there was nothing else left.
"I'm taking a single one!"Clint yelled before anyone of them could react.
"So do I"Thor agreed.
"Fine i'll take one with Bruce"the redhead shrugged. Steve's eyes widened and Tony slightly nudged him. "Okay fine"the blonde sighed.

Tony locked the door open.
The room wasn't bad. It had a hige window, two big beds and even a kitchen. Tony felt like in college, moving in with his roomate.
The brunette dropped his bag and fell backwards onto the bed he had chosen for himself and sighed in relief.
Steve instead put his bag down onto the table and sat down at a chair looking at the brunette.

It was about 2 am and Tony woke up at a dream. He turned onto his side. He expected Steve to be curled up in the blankets, sleeping. But instead Steve was sitting in the dark, clenching the blanket to his chest.
Tony raised his eyebrow.
"are you okay cap?"Tony asked with a yawn. Steve flinched a little at Tony's voice.
"mhm i'm fine"Steve gulped.
"Why aren't you sleeping?"Tony asked and sat up aswell turning on the light that was placed on the nightstand.
Now he could see Steve's eyebags.
"Had sleep for 70 years i think I'm good"Steve joked.
Tony huffed.
They we're silent for a minute.
"Actually.. i never sleep at night.. i sleep as soon as the sun comes up"Steve shrugged.
"hold up. you sound like me. That is not healthy"Tony mentioned.
"I know. Trust me. I'm just.. really scared of the dark"Steve sighed.
Tony nodded. He thought about it for a second and suddenly got up. As soon as the blanket uncovered his chest, the arc reactor light up the room. Not much though. Tony turned off the nighstand lamp and walked over to Steve's bed.
"W-What are you doing?"
"Helping you to fall asleep"Tony smirked and crawled under the blankets.
Steve laid down and Tony laid down in front of him. They stayed a few inches away from eachother and Steve sighed. He loved this. The light of the arc reactor calmed him.
And Tony beside him made him feel safe. They just laid there and looked into eachothers eyes until they fell asleep.
