Trust Me ? Steve x Reader

Chapter Thirteen

I wiped my tears. I needed to be with someone right now. I couldn't be alone.

I opened my door and eyed the one across from me. Steve would understand, wouldn't he? I stood at his door, ready to knock, before I faltered.

He was probably asleep, and I would be waking him. I shook my head. I turned around to head back to my room but found that my legs wouldn't move.

I bit my lip. He would understand. Surely, he got nightmares too.

Before I could overthink it anymore, I knocked on the door. There was a faint, just a second, and the door opened to reveal Steve only wearing a pair of sweatpants.

"I... uh..."

Every thought left my head as I looked at the super soldier. I tried, I honestly tried to keep my eyes away from his sculpted chest and abdomen, but my eyes were betraying me.

I cleared my throat.

"I had a nightmare," I said quietly. "It was really bad. I just don't want to be alone. That's stupid though, I'll just go now, sorry for waking you."

I turned around but a hand gripped my wrist.

"Y/n, wait."

I turned back to see Steve with sympathy in his eyes.

"You didn't wake me. I had a nightmare too. I could use the company as well," he said, looking into my eyes.

I nodded and let him lead me into his room. The room was very neat. There were photo frames on shelves and a desk with art materials.

Steve led me to the bed and sat me down. I yawned. Steve lifted the blankets up for me and I snuggled into them. He got up but I grabbed his hand.

"Stay? Please?" I asked.

He smiled and nodded, getting into the other side of the bed. His arm touched mine and I smiled at the contact. I drifted off and didn't have any more nightmares.

I woke up to strong bands around my waist. I began to panic, remembering my HYDRA experiences, before realising it was Steve's arms.

I relaxed and then tensed. Steve grumbled something incoherent and nuzzled into the crook of my neck. All I wanted was to relax and stay here, like this, with him.

But I knew I couldn't.

"Steve?" I said quietly.

His grip tightened on my waist. I wriggled around to face him.

"Steve?" I said, louder this time.

He snorted and opened his eyes. When he realised what position we were in, he let go of me and scooted away.

"Y/n, I am so sorry! I didn't mean-"

"Hey! Chill! It's okay," I reassured him.

He calmed down a bit.

"Besides, I didn't have any nightmares," I said quietly.

Steve smiled softly.

"Me neither," he said, just as quiet.

Suddenly FRIDAY's voice projected over the speakers.

"Mr. Stark has requested that everyone meet in conference room 37 immediately."

Steve and I jumped up and out of the bed. Steve put on a shirt (much to my dismay) and headed to the elevator. I tried smoothing down my bed hair, but it wasn't working. I sighed frustratedly.

"Hey, don't worry about it. You look great," Steve said.

After realising what he said, he blushed.

"Thanks," I said, laughing it off.

We exited the elevator and headed to the conference room. When we entered, I got a knowing look from Bucky. I raised my eyebrow at him, and he just winked. I sat down next to Steve and turned my attention to Natasha who was standing up the front. Once everyone arrived, she began speaking.

"We found the base."

I shot up in my seat.

"But... it didn't come up when I searched for it!" I exclaimed, my eyes going wide.

"Yes, that's true, but Natasha found it using, well, logic," Tony said. "She looked underground. There were farmhouses, right? Well, underneath one of the barns was an electrical current that could be detected from the satellites. That's a lot of energy being used by 'farmers.'"

I jumped out of my chair.

"Then what are we waiting for?" I asked.

"A plan," Tony replied sarcastically.

"I have a plan. Attack," I said, heading for the door.

Steve grabbed my wrist, stopping me from going any further.

"We need a real plan," he grumbled.

"I say we scope out and attack," Bucky said, gripping the table.

I reluctantly sat down to help develop the plan. After an hour of discussing, we eventually went with Bucky's idea.

"Alright everyone, suit up, we leave in ten minutes," Tony said.

I stood up and headed to the door. I stopped and turned around when I heard Sam call my name.

"Is that Steve's shirt?" he asked.

I glanced down at the shirt that was at my knees. I looked over to see Steve as red as a strawberry.

"I'm not sure, it was just in my room," I said, shrugging.

"What's his shirt doing in your room?" Tony asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

I narrowed my eyes and made him hit himself in the head by moving his watch. I smiled at him innocently.

"Are you done? We have a mission," Bucky said, bringing us back to the present.

It was time to take down the base.
