(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Tony slips into the dark hospital room, keeping his steps light as he makes his way to Steve.

Gently, he brushes the hair back from Steve's face, pressing a kiss to the man's bruised forehead.

Tony lifts Steve's blanket just as JARVIS speaks up softly, "Sir?"

"Yeah?" he carefully climbs into the bed beside Steve, holding him close.

"DUM-E and U are worried."

"Okay."

"It might benefit calling them, Sir, if I might suggest..."

"JARV, Steve's trying to sleep."

JARVIS doesn't respond, but Tony understands the unspoken message in the weighty silence. "Alright, call them. Low light. Volume 12%."

Tony pulls out his phone. As soon as the camera is on, the Bots are crowding the screen, whirring worriedly.

"Shhh, Steve's sleeping," he warns, "You can stop worrying. We're alright."

His words seem to do little to convince them. They continue to push themselves closer to the camera.

Beside him, he feels Steve shift.

Tony sighs. Great. "Go back to sleep," he whispers.

"s'hats bots?" The man mumbles tiredly. "hey," Steve smiles, giving them a little wave.

DUM-E and U perk up, chirping excitedly.

For 10 minutes, Steve and the Bots talk, and Tony watches them with a full heart.
