Hey, y'all!

I've been off the grid for awhile... I apologize. Life's been crazy!

Please, read and review! If y'all have any requests, I would be happy to give it a try!

Steve likes to cuddle with things in his sleep. When he was younger, he had a teddy bear that he snuggled with. Now, when he sleeps, he's usually curled around a pillow.

One night, a couple years after he had come out of the ice, he fell asleep in the living room while the Avengers were watching a movie.

"Guys, check it out! Capsicle fell asleep." They all turned to look. Nobody had ever seen him asleep before. He was curled on the couch, sleeping away.

"We can wake him after the movie," Natasha said, returning her attention to the movie. An hour and a half later, the credits were rolling and people were stretching.

"Alright, who wants to try and wake up him?" Clint volunteered and walked over.

"Cap? Cap? It's time to get up." When the super soldier didn't move, he reached out to shake his shoulder. As soon as his hand touched him, Steve's arm shot out and caught him. All the Avengers turned when Clint yelped in surprise, only to see Steve curled around him, arms wrapped around his stomach.

"Guys! Help me!"

"So Cap's a cuddle monster..." Tony mused.

"Stop talking and get me out of here! I'm being crushed by Captain America's abs!"

Bruce started tugging Steve's arms, while Thor was going to pull Clint out. As soon as Clint was free, Steve made a whining noise and Thor, surprised, let go of him. Steve reached out and caught a handful of Clint's shirt, pulling him back. As soon as he was snuggled around him, he sighed contentedly.

Tony laughed , "I don't think we are getting Clint back anytime soon."

"You can't just leave me here!"

"Clint," Natasha said patiently. "We can't move you."

"I never want to hear that noise from Captain America again..." Tony said.

Another incident was when Steve had been blown from a fifth story window. It was pretty high, even for a super soldier. He hit the ground and slowly pushed himself up painfully.

"Cap! Are you all right?" The calls came from his com.

"I could...do this all...day."

His breathing was labored, but got up and continued fighting. He didn't let any of the medics patch him up. The serum would heal him eventually. He'd just have to be patient. In the quinjet, Steve nodded off, head resting on one hand, the other hand holding onto his side. Bruce was going to check for any major injuries, but instead, got pulled into a hug.

"Hey! Steve wake up! Let me go!" Bruce struggled, but Steve had curled up in his seat and had the doctor wrapped up in his arms. The other Avengers watched with amusement.

"The cuddle monster strikes again!" Tony exclaimed.

"I can't breath! Goodness, Steve, loosen the grip a little!"

The unconscious soldier didn't listen. Bruce gave up and he dangled from Steve's arms. Eventually, he huffed a laugh and patted Steve's arm. "Ok, ok."

Over time, all the Avengers got to be Steve's teddy bear. Tony, during a cold night when they were on a mission. Thor, when he took Steve to medical after a battle. Natasha, when she found him asleep on the couch one time. All of them had been a victim of Steve's cuddling. When Bucky became part of the Avengers, they were afraid that Steve would use him as a teddy bear and things would end badly. One day, they all left to give the old friends some time. When they came back, Bucky and Steve were sitting on the couch. Bucky was watching TV and eating popcorn while Steve was curled around him, sleeping peacefully.

"You haven't murdered him yet?" Tony exclaimed.

The brainwashed assassin raised an eyebrow. "I knew him before you did, Stark. I know he cuddles."

"And you're alright with this?"

"We've slept in close quarters before. We were in the army. I've been a teddy bear multiple times."

Tony was still spluttering, but the rest of them shrugged, got comfortable and watched TV with Bucky.
