RATING: PGish
It was good to have routine. In times of great stress Steve took solace in it, in having something to do, somewhere to go, tasks to complete. The longer they were here, the more people arrived and the more people needed. Steve liked to be able to help people who needed, it was something to focus on, a way to put a foot in front of the other. Everything before felt too big and instead he could think small, like food and fires, on a change of clothes and washing the spare. There was actually a calmness to him he hadn't felt in a very long time, like hunting and the like suited him.
The house he'd claimed looked better by the day, the more they collected and the more they didn't talk about the fact they were creating a fortress of sorts. Of course Steve was happy to share what he had, but he also wanted to make sure it ended up back with him. After not seeing Tony for such a long time, it was strange how quick and easy the transition had been to living in such close quarters.
The beds that Steve had made them grew more comfortable with additions and he'd moved Tony's to where there wouldn't be a draft after they'd talked about being cold. It was actually Steve's favourite room, the floor was stone but he'd found old rugs to cover parts of it, so things echoed less and heat had something to cling to.
Even if he didn't really get cold, Steve still recognized it was cold. He'd been laying there for a while, not really thinking but not asleep and he got up to take a leek outside. When he returned Steve headed for the fireplace, quietly moving back the grate to add another large log to keep it burning through the rest of the night.
