Tony wonders exactly what he's doing, leaning in the doorway of Steve's bedroom. Watching him sleep. 'Great,' He thinks to himself, 'Another weird thing I can add to the collection. I have a fetish for watching nation icons sleep.'
It is a little odd. But Tony manages to forget that, as the the hypnotic melody of Steve's breathing draws him ever closer to his impending doom.
Of course Steve is going to wake up. He has super human hearing. Tony wonders if that is part of the plan.
Plan, what plan? Since when was there a plan?
Steve rolls over and the bed creaks. His eyelids twitch and a sigh escapes his lips. Tony stays still. There is no point in moving now.
Steve mumbles something.
Tony stares at his cheek bones and wonders if this will be counted as sexual harassment in the work place.
Steve opens his eyes.
Tony prepares his defense statement for the trial that is bound to come his way.
"How'd you get in?" Steve mutters, sounding a little annoyed and not particularly surprised.
"I made the security systems. They're not so hard to hack."
"Aren't you cold?" Steve asks and Tony is perplexed as to why Steve isn't screaming at him for being a stalker.
"Yeah, I guess so."
"C'mere then. Since you woke me up you might as well stay here."
Tony snorts. "I didn't wake you up. I've been as silent as a ghost."
Steve just laughs at him like he's stupid. "Sure you didn't. Are you coming or not?"
"Hold your horses, I'm not even hard yet!" Tony quips, and crosses the room to sit on the side of the bed.
Steve leans closer, so they're almost touching. "You were watching me sleep."
"Possibly."
"Why?"
A shrug. "It was good material for jacking off."
Steve frowns at him. "And now the real reason."
Tony sighs. "You looked nice. Quiet. Peaceful. Pretty."
A smile creeps its way onto Steve face. "Better." He leans back against his pillows. "Would you like to stay?"
"Uh... I- Yeah ok." Tony slips of his shoes and slides under the cover next to Steve. The taller man puts his arms around him, and Tony sighs, contented.
He's almost asleep when Steve whispers in his ear,
"I watch you sleep, too."
