screaming my name
The sound of Steve's heartbeat is reassuring. It's slow and even and the sound of it fills Tony's ears when he lies with his head resting on Steve's chest.
Tony knows that his own heartbeat is a little frantic and maybe a little uneven; that's the price to pay when there's an arc reactor keeping shrapnel away from your heart. The first week or so was rough, his body having to adjust to having that inside of it.
But he's seen the records. He knows that Steve's heart didn't always beat like this – strong and sure. There used to be a flutter, it used to beat weakly. The serum changed all of that, made Steve into the specimen of human perfection that he is now.
And if it wasn't for that heart, if it wasn't for the serum, he wouldn't be here with Tony now. His heart wouldn't be there to beat it's slow and sure rhythm that eventually lulls Tony to sleep.
FIN.
