A/N: This is literally just two drabbles that I wrote for a tumblr challenge. I hope you like them. And please check out my other stories, review them, please. I'm begging.
Steve was up again, his room filled with the sounds of pencil scratching across paper. He couldn't sleep. He could never sleep. Nightmares plagued his nights and he had become accustomed to running on only a few hours of sleep a week. The captain reached his last page of paper.
He straightened, his finger tips reaching to the ceiling as he stood and stretched. "I wonder where Tony keeps paper in this infernal building." He sighed and made his way out the door, wandering the halls with no real destination in his mind. The dark corridors caused Steve to stumble and trip over tiny things.
The last thing he expected was for one of the things he bumped to cry out and knock him to the ground. "Natasha! Geez Natasha it's me!" The slender hands wrapped his throat slowly retracted and an apology could be heard from the air above him.
Natasha helped him up and the wandered together to the kitchen where they could both easily locate the light switch. "What are you doing up?" Steve inquired as he poured her a glass of water. She shrugged and took a seat on the counter. "I couldn't sleep. How about you?" The redhead pulled her knees up to her chest.
"I was looking for paper. I'm out." He explained. She gave him a sympathetic look, reading into his tone more than he had intended for her to. "You still having trouble with the nightmares?" Her voice was tender, allowing him the option to skirt the question if he so desired. Steve just nodded, dropping his eyes to the ripples on the surface of his water.
Natasha grabbed his hand and stroked a gentle reassuring thumb over his knuckles. "Natasha I-" his words caught deep in his chest as her emerald eyes searched his face for an answer to some unasked question that neither was aware had been buried in deep in their minds. They weren't aware of what was happening until their lips had crashed together in a flurry of passion and heat.
