Description
You twist and the sheets curl around you. You sigh, opening your eyes to complete darkness. You can't sleep. You hear the faucet running and you peer up a few seconds later as the light from the hallway pours into your room. You watch as Steve shuffles in, clad only in his low slung plaid pajama pants. You feel your face heat up in the dark. Despite being married to him for almost a year, he still effected you. There was just something to be said about his deeply chiseled super soldier muscles. You watch as he climbs into bed next to you. He pauses as he realizes the sheets are all wrapped around you. He sighs and you can't help but grin in the dark and let out a small giggle.
Steve shakes his head. "So you are awake. I thought I heard you tossing around."
This time, you sigh. "Yeah. I can't sleep." You shift as you try to untwist yourself from the sheets. Steve helps you, pulling the sheet out from under you. Once you're untangled, Steve slips between the sheets and pulls you close, wrapping his arms around you. You nuzzle your face into his chest.
"I can't either," Steve admits.
You pull back to look at him even though it's too dark to see his expression. "It's not nightmares,"
He adds quickly. You're relieved. Steve is constantly plagued by dreams from his war years. Often you would wake up to find him on the couch, sweaty and shaking.
"So it's my fault then?" You joke, trying to lighten the mood.
"Maybe it is," Steve mumbles, pressing his nose into your neck. His grip around you tightens and you snuggle deeper.
"I love you, Steve," you say. He places a sweet kiss on your shoulder.
"Mmmm.... I love you, too," Steve replies.
"(Y/n)?" Steve says a few minutes later. There is no reply, so he knows you have finally fallen asleep in his arms.
