No matter how hard he tried, Tony couldn't fall asleep. This had become a regular problem for him since he had those panic attacks. Usually Steve would stay up to help him fall asleep, but they had just finished a mission and poor Steve was so worn out. He had fallen asleep in seconds. Tony envied him so much for that.
He tossed and turned but tried not to wake Steve up. But he slept like a rock, so it wouldn't really matter. He gave up and just pressed his face into his pillow and let out an exasperated sigh.
"Whyyyy can't I sleep?" Tony moaned.
"Maybe because you're moving around too much." Steve grumbled.
"Oh hey Steve..."
"Hi."
"I'm sorry did I wake you?" Tony said sympathetically.
"No...Well yes but I didn't wanna tell you cause it sounded mean." Steve chuckled.
"Aw...I'm sorry, Stevie." Tony looked into Steve's blue eyes. They were so comforting and soft. Steve could tell that was staring and smiled lovingly.
"So...How to fall asleep..." Tony grinned and wrapped his legs around Steve's hips, snaking him into a close embrace.
"T-tony! Wh-" He cupped Steve's cheeks and kissed him. He worked his tongue into his mouth. He pulled away a little and nipped Steve's bottom lip gently. Steve let out a moan from the back of his throat. Tony smiled.
"Mmm...Oh well, since we're awake..." Tony slowly pulled down Steve's sweat pants.
"T-tony- Ah! W-where is that hand going?" Steve blushed as Tony's hand trailed down his back and pulled at the waistband of Steve's briefs.
"Where do you think?" Tony still wore a grin.
"Haha..." Steve kissed Tony once again and trailed his hands up Tony's back, trying to get his shirt off. He dug his nails into his back a little.
"Ah!"
"Oh! Sorry Tony. Did I hurt you?"
"No...Okay maybe a little."
"I'm sorry baby." They stopped for a minute.
"No, it's fine." Tony smiled.
"What else should we do to fall asleep?" Tony rested his head on Steve's pillow so they were still close.
"Hmm...We could keep doing what we were doing..." Tony said his eyes trailing down to Steve's crotch.
"Un-uh mister. Remember the last time we did that? Clint came knocking at our door asking if were moving furniture!"
"Oh yeah...Well, you know what helps me?" Tony smiled.
"What?"
"Looking in your eyes. They're so soft and comforting."
"Tony that's so sweet." Steve kissed the end of Tony's nose. Tony drew him into a hug and held him. He rested his chin on the top of his head.
"You know what helps me?" Steve said into Tony's chest.
"Hm?"
"Listening to your heart beat when I put my head against your chest. I've been doing it after you got the piece of metal out of your chest."
"I'm always here Steve. Don't ever worry about that." He kissed the top of his head. Steve held him even tighter.
Steve woke up, still pressed against Tony's chest.
"Good morning." Steve could hear the smile in his voice.
"Hmm...Morning!" Steve purred.
"Sorry to disturb you babe, but I have to get up." Steve rolled off of his chest and onto his pillow.
"Don't move. At. All. Okay?"
"...Okaaaay..."
Five minutes later, Tony strode back into the room with the biggest grin on his face. He flopped back onto the bed.
"What are you smilin' about?"
"I got everyone to take the day off. No one will come knocking at our door for hours...Shall we continue what we started last night?" Tony kept on smiling.
"Yes please." Steve kissed Tony.
