Who: Tony and Little Wee Steve
What: Uh oh, not again
Where: Their house
When: October 6

Steve was used to waking up cold, if the fire died out, not enough wood to stock it. Empty fireplace, empty stomach, that was normal. So waking up warm was kind of strange, stranger still was the warm wasn't from Bucky buried in behind him breathing on his neck. It was from a man. Steve lay there for a long time, wondering why he wasn't panicking. But he wasn't scared, probably should have been, had every reason to be, but wasn't.

When he got up it was actually more of a surprise to see himself. Steve wasn't sure what he'd been expecting but he had to get closer to get a better look. He was so small, youthful and baby faced and with a strong desire to play jacks and eat pancakes.

The man didn't look like he was going to be waking up on his own any time soon and so Steve got closer, reaching out to gently shake his shoulder. "Hey Mister?" Steve said quietly. "Sorry mister but you got to wake up."

It hurt, but Steve was brave and careful not to look at the needle because it made it better not to look. Tony put a plaster on the spot and Steve rolled down his sleeve, pulling the sweater around him some more. Because cold was his natural state of being, it was hard to be warm when there wasn't anything of him.

He nodded quickly, because he knew that, he knew Tony wouldn't hurt him. This place felt safe, this room, his room. But why couldn't he remember it? Why did yesterday feel so long ago? He had a lot of questions.

"I got to go find Bucky," he said quickly, jumping to his feet. Steve was at the bathroom door in a flash, before he returned for the inhaler and raced back again but paused in the doorway to look back at Tony. "I'll come back, promise," Steve said sincerely. Because that seemed really, really important.

God, this was weird. It was so weird. But when Steve came barreling back into the bathroom to reassure Tony that he'd be back? Well. Tony couldn't help but smile softly. Because of course Steve would say that; would make his intentions clear. Even when he didn't have to, because Tony was practically just a stranger to him and if he felt so inclined, he could stay gone -- make a new home at Bucky's place and how would Tony ever be able to argue against that?

"Okay," he said, nodding a little, not sure how to really even respond. "Okay. That's good. You go have fun. I'll see you later."
