summary: steve's in hospital and all he wants is his tony🥺
—————————————
Steve's head was aching as he first saw the bright light in the hospital.
It took him a few seconds to realize.
"T-Tony"he whispered weakly, his throat burning. Suddenly a doctor came in.
"Good to see you Captain Rogers how are you fe-"
"Where's Mr.Stark"he coughed inbetween the words.
"He's not allowed to come in ye-"
"T-Tony— please I need... Mr. Stark"he gasped weakly, his eyes starting to burn.
"Captain- I just need to ask you-"
"G' away! I w-want Tony"he complained in raw voice.
After a while of figuring out Steve's stubbornness the doctor left to get Tony. The others were all sitting in the waiting room.
"Mr. Stark, I'll need you for a second"the doc sighed, explaining Steve's craving for him.
Tony furrowed his eyebrows.
"Me?"he asked. Sure the two of them became good friends but why would he want him there.
Tony shrugged and went inside the room. "Oh Capsicle"he smiled, sighing as he saw Steve comepletly bruised.
"T-Tony"the blonde choked. Tony slowly walked over to his best friend and sat down in a chair next to him.
"Don't scare me like that ugh you're giving me all kinds of headache"he groaned, poking Steve's arm lightly.
"I-I love you"Steve suddenly said.
Tony was pretty sure that his heart skipped a beat. Or more than one.
He looked down at Steve and the blonde's eyes welled up with tears.
Tony quickly cupped his face.
"Hey.. what do you think is gonna happen huh? You're not dying! Is that what you think? Because hell no, that's not gonna happen you dumbass"Tony said quickly wiping away some tears of Steve's face.
"I'm- I'm sorry.. Tony.. I don't want to die, please don't.. let me die"he whispered, sounding utterly scared.
"Shush, are you listening? I'm not gonna let that happen. And now come here you meatball"Tony said looking deeply into Steve's eyes before warping his arms around him, laying his head on top of Steve's stomach.
Steve slightly smiled, running his hand through Tony's hair, even though it hurt badly.
"Meatball?"
"Yes. My Meatball, who I'm not gonna let anything happen to"
"I love you"Steve simply answered, his throat feeling dry.
"I love you too"
