Love is never Easy

Chapter 2

Tony Stark POV

I was by Steve's hospital bed. He looked exhausted, I felt exhausted, but I kept on holding his hand. My cutie capsicle had somehow contracted Sepsis, the doctors discovered that he had torn his left side open. One of the Chitari had stabbed his side. I had screamed as my Capsicle collapsed yesterday. He looked so sickly, pale; the doctors had milled around him trying to figure out why his super-serum wasn't working. They think the Chitari blades were coated with poison that negated his super-serum to prevent his fast healing. I didn't fucking care that his super-serum no longer worked. He was mine, and I was his, warts and all, Pepper just smiled as she knew all along that I loved Steve Grant Rogers "There was too much arguing between you two, for there not to be love, and we all know there is a thin line between love, passion, and hate. S'okay, Tony, we will always be friends, you could make me your best woman, when you ask him to marry you" she said grinning as we hugged. My eyes widened. "Shit, Pep! I need a diamond ring; can you contact the Wakandan science division and ask them to make me a vibranium band ring with the diamond inlayed into the ring's band. Pretty please, my best woman" Pepper grinned "I'm on it Tony, no need to flutter the eyelashes at me" I snorted, then choked on the huge lump in my throat. She turned and flipped her phone up speed-dialling Shuri, the sister of King Tchalla. I smiled as I internally planned and went back into Steve's hospital room. He looked better already; he was sitting up eating his ice-cream. I groaned, stifling the urge to bite my bottom lip, as he made a smacking sound as he pulled the spoon from his mouth. He grinned as he saw me close my eyes.

"What's up, Tony-bear?" I grin back, rolling my eyes. "Nothing's 'up' Cutie, just locked inside my own head, as usual" He locked my fingers with his. "I love you Tony-bear" my eyes get teary "I love you too, cutie" I lean up to kiss him and our tongues tangle as he hums in contentment and the vibration of his contentment goes straight to my nether-regions. "Are we ready for the fallout, when the good people of the USA discover I'm debauching their favourite super-soldier" Stevie, my Stevie grins "I am, if you are, Cutie-sweetie" I roll my eyes. "You are so adorable, Stevie-baby" He ran his strong, soft hands across my cheeks softly "As long as we face the fallout together, united in love, I'm crazy about you, Tony, I used to keep cuttings of you after you revealed yourself as Iron-man. Fury was a paranoid bastard, he thought I would be mobbed if I came out of hiding after the ice"

"He knew about you then, sneaky bastard, isn't he?"

"Naa, he was just afraid of getting a shitshow!" Stevie laughed, and then I laughed "Owww, that hurts" I was immediately on alert "Want me to get the doc?"

"No" he breathed harshly "What I want is you in this bed, so I can have a nap before I get discharged" I groan "Okay, but don't complain if the doctor kicks me out after this" I took off my shoes and laid my blazer on the chair. Stevie lifted the sheets and shuffled over to make room for me. I laid down "If I hurt you, I won't be pleased" I grumbled "My heart is safe in your hands, Tony-bear" he mumbles as I kiss his forehead. "Sleep baby blue" I murmur back as I try to control my bodily responses.

Dr. Helen Cho of Shield Medical came in to find the two snuggling together and crinkled her eyes with a smile "That has to be the sweetest thing I've ever seen" she whispered.

Captain America/Steve Rogers POV

I don't think I've ever snuggled before, not with anyone. But this is nice, Tony-bear has one arm slung over his eyes and the other is cradling my neck. I love this man so much. Why does it have to be complicated? I know the man has PTSD, but I will stand by his side and happily bear his states of depression, gently coaxing him to talk about things, but I will not demand that he talks. I feel him move his hand to my abdominal muscles and gasp as he moves further down. I look up and see him grin "Hi, Baby, you awake now?" I nuzzle his cheek and groan. I love his 24/7 After-shave, it's a scent that is uniquely him, my tony bear.

"We must have a date first" I nod my head "Coney Island" I reply grinning, it's where I went with Bucky and my mom. My first day trip when I was seven"

Tony nuzzled our noses together "Is that so?" I nod "You ready to be discharged, baby-blue"

I gasp in a breath, trying not to get too excited, as his fingers are carding through my hair, I must learn to (no, must master my control) Tony is finding my sweet spots (Oh, God, I need him so badly, he is driving me mad!) "Ungh!" my hips arch up "Tony-bear" I whisper "Take me home and fuck me" Tony sighed in frustration "I really want to, baby, but you will be on orders not to have sex until your stitches come out. I hate this, you have no idea how badly I want you" he proved his point by rocking against me. I tried to grind against him, but he hissed at me and grabbed my hips "I am so close to coming" he whispered "Keep very quiet baby-blue" he stilled my hips and gently guided my hand to his throbbing dick. His hand over mine, this was so special, he trusted me. We kissed gently, alternating between tongues, and caressing gentle kisses as he thrusted gently into my fist "Oh God, I really want to be inside you, but the tension is killing me, Stevie" he whispered "Aaaah, go faster Stevie baby" I did as he asked, and he moaned low and thrust upwards as he ejaculated and some cum went on my abdominal muscles. He nuzzled into my neck, breathless and beautiful. "S' fucking good" he nibbled and sucked at my neck. "Mm, Tony-bear, love you" we kissed, and I felt so good.

"That is hot stuff, you two" Our eyes widened as we saw Natasha in the doorway "No worries, ain't nothin' hotter than two men going at each other, wanted to give you an early warning. The doctor is going to discharge you in ten minutes" She winked at us as we blushed deep red "Tony, make yourself decent and get cleaned up" I saluted her and got a kiss before Tony escaped my clutches.

"Natasha, can you help me?" I asked still blushing "Sure thing, Cap"
