When Peter returned to their room, Steve watched him come to the bed and settle beside him with the tray of food. He really didn’t even want to eat but he knew Peter wouldn’t let him not do so. “I can eat,” he managed to answer before reaching for the plate and a fork. Stiles had made stroganoff again… it was definitely Steve’s favorite. The younger man was getting so good at his cooking. Bucky would have… loved it… 

Tears formed and fell down his face once more as he tried to eat the food before him. But everything tasted like ash now… just like Bucky had turned to ash right before his eyes even as he’d tried to reach for him, to save him… 

“I… I can’t…” he whispered in a choked off voice. “I… I just… can’t…”

Peter carefully move the tray from the bed and moved to crawl back into the bed next to Steve, pulling his mate to him. “Hey, it’s okay.” he promised, pulling the blonde close to him. “I got you, baby.” he promised. “Just get some rest, okay? I’m not going anywhere.” he replied, fingers running through Steve’s hair as they lay in bed. It was a rough road ahead, he knew that very well. “We’ll get through this together, I promise.” he assured, resting his head against Steve’s. 

Emma

Emma chuckled and shook her head. “If I knew the answer, I would tell you. But I think that’s something that everyone has the problem that no one has the answer to.”

Peter looked up and couldn’t but smile. “Miss Emma.” he said, nodding. “Apologies for the mess. My pack unfortunately has a few teenagers who can’t clean after themselves if I’m not here to get onto them, it seems.” He shook his head as he moved, sighing a little. “Can I get you something to drink?”

Steve

Steve let out a low groan as Peter nipped at his neck and jawline. “You do anything you want with me,” he whispered back, licking his lips a bit and tilting his head to one side. “You know I love anything and everything you do. Love even more that no one is here to interrupt us, either…”

It was a trust that Peter and Steve only gave each other; the ability to do what hey wanted to each other like this. He took a moment to playfully bite at Steve’s neck, moving to kiss and nibble his way down his husband’s body. “You’re so beautiful, Steve. I’d be lost without you.” he murmured, taking the time to trail kisses from one hip to the other. Fingers brushed slowly over Steve’s thigh, ghosting back up and along the blonde’s shaft. “Gonna take care of you all weekend.”

Steve

Steve nodded and shifted more into Peter’s hold, burying his face more into the other’s neck and shoulder, wrapping an arm around his mate and just shaking from the shock of everything still setting in and the pain and grief from all of the losses he’d been dealt. He couldn’t handle anything else tonight. If Peter said the pack would wait, they would wait. Steve would trust that Peter knew best for the time being.

Peter moved to carefully wash Steve off, eventually taking his now soaked clothes off and setting them aside so he could clean them both and then turned the water off. “I have to let you go to get us towels, okay?” he explained, kissing Steve’s temple. “I’ll be right back.” He carefully, slowly released Steve to get out and grab towels, easing one around his waist and moving to pull Steve from the tub and into his arms. “Let me get you dry and in bed. I’ll bring us up some food.” he said, toweling Steve off and moving him to the bed to get some clothes and help him get dressed before doing the same for himself. Pulling at the blankets so that he could get his husband in bed, he carefully guided Steve to lay back against the pillows and covered his legs. “I’ll be back in just a few minutes, okay?” he promised, leaning to kiss Steve gently before leaving to go get their food. As he got to the stairs, he saw Derek and Malia at the bottom of the steps and shook his head. “Don’t.” he said softly so only they would hear. 

“Dad, what happened?” Malia asked, concerned. “Where’s Bucky and the others?”

Peter shook his head again as he joined them. “Not now, Malia.” he said, but his voice held the shaky emotion of loss and Malia leaned to hug him, Derek doing the same. Peter took the comfort for a moment before pulling away from his nephew and daughter, looking at them both in turn. “Everyone needs to eat, get some rest. Steve can’t handle it right now. I’m trusting the two of you to take care of everyone while I take care of him. Understood?”

Malia looked at her cousin and after a moment, the two nodded and Peter moved to get two plates made and on a tray and started back up to the bedroom. He moved quietly, focusing on getting Steve fed as he got to their room. “I got your favorite.” he said, setting the tray on the bed and sitting beside Steve. “Can you eat for me, baby?” he asked. “I can feed you if you need me to. Just tell me.”

Steve

Steve groaned softly, licking his lips. “I love you too,” he answered, watching Peter’s eyes as they changed just a bit. He loved watching his husband’s eyes… they were a brighter blue than his own at times, but then, when his power came to the front, the crimson red was almost just as beautiful in Steve’s mind. “So, my love, what exactly did you have in mind?”

Peter hummed and dipped his head to nibble at Steve’s neck playfully. “I was going to take my time, make you beg for me.” he whispered huskily, kissing at Steve’s jawline. “We do have the manor to ourselves for the weekend, so you can be as loud as you want.” he smirked, settling between his husband’s legs and gently cover Steve’s body with his own. “Unless you wanted to do something else?” he inquired softly, nuzzling into Steve’s neck.

Steve

Steve just nodded silently before stepping into the shower and under the spray of water. How was he supposed to get through this? He’d only had Bucky back for such a short time and now… now he was gone again; this time for good. Sam was gone… Wanda and Vision… Peter… T’Challa… He felt the tears falling down his face again and he slid down the wall, sitting on the floor of the shower, dropping his head onto his knees, crying quietly.

Peter didn’t think as he moved under the water and pulled Steve to him, unable to bear seeing his mate in so much pain. He didn’t speak for a long time, just held Steve against him, arms secure as he ran his hand through blonde hair. After a long while, he opened his eyes. “You don’t have to see them tonight, Steve. They’ll understand.” he murmured.

Steve [ @lostshieldandhammer ]

Steve groaned softly as Peter redid the ropes around his wrists that were attached to the headboard of their bed. He knew the marks they left; he only wished they’d last longer. “And here I thought I was the only artist in the family,” he quipped at his mate.

Peter gave a quiet laugh, adjusting the silken ropes enough to secure his husband before leaning to kiss Steve. “I have the occasional artistic tendency. I’ll never be as talented as you, though.” he murmured, blue eyes tinging just slightly red around the pupil while hands roamed over a broad chest, tracing aimless designs over Steve’s skin. “I love you.”

Steve

Steve nodded slowly. “Uh… yeah… yeah a shower would be good,” he answered softly, dragging a hand through his hair. “Shower and then I’ll see the pack and talk to them, let them know what’s happened and such.” He pushed to his feet and slowly headed for the bathroom, turning on the water in the shower.

Peter watched Steve go, going to get his mate some fresh clothes and setting them on the counter. He paused briefly, reaching out to brush his hand against Steve’s. “I’m here, Steve. I’m not going anywhere.” He could tell Steve was hurting and he didn’t know how to help. “We’ll get through this together, alright?”

“You underestimate me.” Attention turned to the countertop as he leant against it to roll a cigarette. “I don’t doubt that. But you don’t get it, do you?” He looked up from his hands, one perfectly drawn eyebrow raised. “It’s the risk that makes me want you more. It makes me crave this, crave us. Tell me what’s so dangerous, an’ then…” A laugh sounded in his throat. “Just let us ‘ave one night together. In the mornin’, that’s when we work out what happens after.”

Peter chuckled, letting his eyes bleed red for the first time in front of the man. He’d had to bring it forward before when certain nonhuman customers had gotten out of control, but he tried not to do it in front of the human staff and clients. No need to bring hunters down on him for no reason. “Do you think you can handle a whole night?” he teased, reaching to pull the cigarette from slender fingers and set it aside.
