Bruce B; log, hospital, Marvel: Tony S/Steve R
[After this.]
[Locked to Bruce B] I spoke with her.
[In person, CCIU waiting room: Tony S/Steve R] [After returning from Pepper's apartment, Steve sat in the waiting room with infinite patience. He'd politely notified the attending nurses that he needed a word with Tony once he woke up from his current nap, and they promised to tell him when that time came. Steve could sense their hope that making such an allowance would lead to a more cooperative patient, and the man didn't have the heart to tell them it wouldn't.
He did nothing to pass the time. He let it slide, grain of sand past grain of sand, without resistance. His book was companionable on the chair next to his, but it remained closed. He simply sat until the doctor came to fetch him.
He was led to Tony's room, and the two were left to their privacy immediately. The door closed behind Steve. He crossed his arms and came nearer the bed. A line appeared between his brows.] I saw her, and she asked for space.
