You wake up in the middle of the night, for no real reason.
Tony's jerking in his sleep, mumbling. You lean over him and shake him a bit.
He jumps and looks at you. "Oh. I'm sorry. Was I being loud again?" He whispers.
"No."
He rolls over onto his back and looks at you, breathing hard. You kiss him lightly and rest your head on his chest. He wraps his arms around you, his chest rising and falling quickly.
"Tony." You whisper.
"Yeah?"
"You okay?"
"I should have died in Afghanistan."
"No, baby."
He doesn't say anything for a long time.
"Babe." He says quickly, panicked.
"I'm here." You mumble sleepily.
His arms tighten around you.
You look up at him, and he kisses you. "I didn't mean to wake you. Go back to sleep."
"I'm fine." You sit up and kiss his temple. "You didn't wake me."
He shifts to lay his head in your lap. "I'm gonna have to take up narcotics."
"What?"
"It hurts every time I breathe."
"Go back to the doctor." You run your fingers through his hair.
"No. They can't do anything."
"You never know until you try."
"I could manufacture my own drugs."
"Let's not mess with that."
"I can't do anything fun with you around." He mutters into your leg.
"You can, just not if it's illegal or dangerous or both."
He laughs a bit, sitting up to look at you. "You're too good for me."
You kiss him, because there's only so many times you can respond to that.
"Babe."
"Yeah?" You ask.
"I love you. Thank you."
"I love you too."
