Tony! Tony! Hold on ok? You will be alright – Said Steve holding Tony in his arms, all Toni could hear was a faint sound of Steve's voice, everything was a blur, he was so drowse and so tired – Tony be with me, I'm taking you to the hospital!

*What happened Steve that you are taking me to the hospital?* Thought Tony, he wanted to hold Steve and tell him it's was ok, but he was off his body that now was so heavy, the taste of blood on his tongue kept him uneasily awake, Tony wanted badly say something, but somehow all he could do was whisper crisply – S-Steve?

Yes Tony, we are almost there – Said Steve, Toni closed his eyes and fell on a white dream.

(Hospital – Night)

Tell me doctor – Said Steve Sitting on the chair face to the doctor desk – Will he be ok?

Yes and no – Said the Doctor looking to some papers

What do you mean?

He will recover from the wound he suffered on the amusement park, when he fell and broke two ribs, but his heart, it's not good

Sure there's something to do right?

Yes, but I'm afraid his condition won't help – said the doctor putting his papers on the table – Mr. Steve, does Mr. Stark have any family?

No – Said Steve, he never thought about Stark family, in the end Tony was so alone as he was – But I'm his boyfriend

I see – Said the doctor – Then I have to tell you, his heart condition is pretty fragile, his reactor keeps it beating, but his heart still made of fresh, it's too early to talk about transplant.

Thank you doctor – said Steve standing up – Is he awake? Can I talk to him?

Yes, its better that he hears it from you – Steve went to the Toni's room and sat next to him – How are you feeling Tony?

Like I was hulked out, now I imagine how Bruce feels after coming back to normal – Said Tony smiling, the machinery connected to him kept making some sad noise, the ones he would hear from the soldiers wounded on the battlefield - Why the sad face?

Tony – Said Steve holding his hand tightly, afraid of losing him, he could not think about a live without Tony – The doctor told me about your heart…

I know Steve – Said Tony smiling, even his smiles hurt him – I always knew about that.

Why did you tell me? – Said Steve a tear almost falling of his face, he was angry and sad

Because I was searching for a way to replace my heart – Said Tony coughing, what brought him more pain – Sorry?

Tony – Said Steve trying to hold his tears, but one came down on his face – I don't want to lose you.

You won't Steve – Said Tony – I will recover you'll see – Said Tony running his fingers though Steve's hair – I just need to recover from my broken bones first ok?

Ok – Said Steve in a childish way that made Tony feel bad about hiding it from him – Promise me then

I promise – Said Tony smiling and caching one of Steve's Tears with his fingertips – Now stop crying, go to Stark tower and tell the others ok?

Ok, Toni – Said Steve whipping his tears with his hands

Be good Steve – Said Tony chucking – I'm really a bad boyfriend, we had a good time together and then I picked the most fault toy.

It's not your fault – Said Steve still holding his hand – I will come back – Steve kissed Toni's forehead while Tony fell asleep.

(Stark Tower – Living Room)

So that what happened? – Asked Thor with a loud as always thunder voice – The tin warrior is now sick?

Yes Thor – Said Steve drinking a glass of water – His heart is weak

That's bad – Said Clint sorting his arrows – And You cap? How are you holding up?

I will manage – Said Steve trying to hide his feelings

I express my sympathies to our good captain – Said Thor hugging Steve and letting him go – Do you feel better my mortal friend?

Thanks, I guess – Said Steve smiling a little embarrassed

I couldn't find Bruce, and Natasha is out in some mission, but if I find then I will tell then – Said Clint padding Steve on the shoulder – And, Barnes told me he was coming to talk to you.

I see – Said Steve thinking that James could talk to him; he always was there to back him up – Tell him I'm in the rooftop if he comes here.

Will do cap – Said Clint lying on the couch, Thor bowed and went flying to somewhere.

(Stark Tower – Rooftop)

Hello cap! – Said James sitting by his side – Nice night isn't?

Yes, I guess – Said Steve looking to the skies thinking about Toni's heart, James put his arms around Steve shoulder

I heard about Tony – Said he pulling Steve's head toward his chest – I hate to see you sad, Steve.

James, I-I-I

I know, you love him – Said James with a sad smile, he loved Steve too, but Tony was dying for the looks of it – I won't try anything, I just don't want you to suffer.

Thanks James – Said Steve closing his eyes, Is it cheating what I'm doing? Thought Steve laying his head on James chest feeling the metal in his arm – I feel so lost, I cannot lose Tony, it would torn me apart.

I know, you and he share so much – Said James caressing Steve's hair with his fingers – He loves you much.

You always understood me James – Said Steve dazing off – Even in the darkest hours.

I know, Steve, remember when I first meet you?

Yes, I thought you would be just another soldier… I've never been so wrong.

Steve… I-I – James realized Steve was already sleeping on his chest, he felt a warm feeling and whispered in his ears – I love you.

James kept holding Steve with his arms feeling his smell, how could him ask from anything else in this world? His idol and old companion was there like a child trusting him with his sleep, a troubled sleep of a child that cried so much, and yet sorrow seemed to not touch him in his arms, Steve was a boy that just needed to be hold and protected from reality at least in his arms it looked like it.
