Chapter 1:

Tony Stark woke up with a start, jumping out of his chair and glancing around his lab as his heart pounded against his chest. Panic began to settle in his chest and body. He felt himself run out of the lad and head towards the elevator but made a sharp turn towards the stairs, knowing that the elevator would be to slow.

Steve.

Tony's mind raced with images from his nightmare. Steve laying on the floor surrounded by a pool of crimson blood wasn't helping Tony's mind, heart, and body. He ran inside the gym rather loudly, making the super soldier spin around to face him.

"Tony? What's wrong?" Steve asked in full alarm as he locked eyes locked in on scared ones.

"Oh god…. Oh god…" Tony muttered as his knees gave out.

Steve lunged faster than a human should, and caught Tony before he could slam on the ground.

"Tony?! Tony, what's wrong?!" Steve barks as he holds the terrified genius in his arms.

Steve feels Tony shaking violently and feels a wet spot growing on his shirt.

"Jarvis, he's not talking, so you're my only hope. What's wrong with Tony?" Steve said as he ran his fingers through Tony's damp hair.

"Sir has woken up from a nightmare again." Jarvis said, a hint of concern in the AI voice.

"Damn… how long has his nightmares been happening?" Steve sighed.

"Since the Avengers moved in."

"Anxiety attacks? Panic attacks?"

"Yes."

"Damn…So he has been suffering from PTSD for the past 2 months and he hadn't even told us?"

"Pretty much yes."

"Jarvis, I-I don't know how to help him? I mean I know how to help him but recovering from PTSD requires family and friends." Steve muttered, "Tony has friends but doesn't really have blood related family."

"Do not worry, Captain. I'll contact his younger brother." The AI said.

"Tony doesn't have a younger brother?" Steve frowned.

"I'm sure Sir will gladly explain that he has two half brothers when he is well enough. Right now I suggest you take Tony back to his room. According to my scan he seems to have calmly fallen back to sleep." Jarvis said.

"Right… okay…" Steve muttered and looked down at the sleeping billionaire.

He looked so peaceful. So calm with an almost childlike complex. Steve gently picked up Tony bridal style and walked towards the elevator. He couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself. He had been living in the tower for those 2 months and hadn't even noticed his teammate suffering.

Tony stirred in his arms as Steve walked out of the elevator on Tony's floor.

"Steve?" Tony muttered.

"Shh.. it's okay." Steve muttered as he laid Tony on his too-big-for-Tony bed.

Steve straightened up and turned to leave when he felt warm fingers grab his arm.

"Steve…" Tony whispered.

The soldier turned around and looked into Tony's big eyes. His heart ripped in two at the sight of desperation in the man's eyes.

"Yeah?"

"Ca-can you stay… with me?" Tony said and looked down at his hands.

Steve stood there for a couple seconds as his mind raced.

"Of course." Steve smiled gently.

Tony shifted a bit to make room for Steve, which he really didn't have to since the bed was huge.

Steve slid inside the covers and laid beside Tony before pulling the smaller man toward his chest.

"It's okay, Tony. I'll be right here. I promise." Steve whispered.

"Okay. Does that mean that I have to tell you about my family and my dreams tomorrow?"

"I'm not forcing you to tell me what haunts your dreams, but I will tell you that telling me this stuff will help you. The one thing you do have to tell me is about the younger brother Jarvis was talking bout."

"That traitor… okay… I'll tell you tomorrow. Right now let me sleep in your warm embrace…" Tony muttered his voice slurred with sleep.

Steve felt his cheeks turn warm but let the saying slide of his shoulders. He stayed awake for a couple of minutes, listening to Tony's breathing as it slowly evened out. Even so, Steve stayed awake a bit longer before sleep finally overtook him.

So how was the first chapter? Good I hope. Please review and tell me what you think or mistakes I could fix in my writing. Love you all!
