Chapter 6
Next morning he woke up whenTony gently ran his fingers through Steves hair and softly caressed his cheek.
“Hi there, my sweetheart” Tony whispered. “My God, you`re so gorgeous, you know that?”,
Steve looked at him and smiled. “Good morning, Tony.” he said.
Well, since my boyfriend deserve nothing but the best, I really don`t have I choice, do I?” he joked.
“That`s my Steve, huh” Tony smiled back at him.
Steve leaned down and kissed Tony. Oh my God, how he had missed to feel his boyfriends lips against his like this. To taste him...feel Tonys tounge playing with his...
He couldn`t help but let out a moan. The feeling and the taste of his beautiful, beloved Tony made him forget everything for a short moment. The love of his life was back with him again, that was all that mattered to him.
After something that had felt like both seconds and hours, Tony cupped his hands around Steves face.
“You know I could have been doing this for the whole day, don`t you?” he asked. Steve could only nod. He knew what was coming now...
“But baby...you need to tell me what`s happened.” “Why are we here?”
“And why were you crying yesterday?”.
Steve swallowed hard.
“I...I...something happened...to you.”. “I'm so...sorry, Tony...for not being there when you needed me...” he sobbed, and his eyes were filled with tears.
In the same moment, someone knocked at the door and the door opened.
It was dr. Helen Cho who came to look after Tony.
“Good morning, mr. Stark” she said.
“I`m so glad to see you`re back with us again.” “But I need to talk to you about the situation, and I guess you have some questions yourself”.
She took aseat on Tonys bed, and she took his hand in her.
That wasn`t something Helen usually did. But even though she was a doctor on the ER and had seen a lot, this was a very special situation even to her.
She looked at Steve. “I`m going to talk to Tony now, Steve.” she said. “Do you think you want to stay here when I do, or do you want to take a little break” she asked.
Steve shaked his head. He knew it would be very hard for him to hear about everything, but that was nothing against what Tony must be feeling. It was just no option for him to leave his boyfriends side.
“I want to...to stay, please” he answered. “If it`s...if it`s okay for you, baby” he said to Tony.
“Please stay, if you think you can” Tony answered and caressed Steves cheek.
When dr. Helen Cho was finish with explaining the situation and Tony didn`have more questions, the room became almost completely silent for a moment. The only sound that could be heard was Steves sobbings.
He felt like an idiot because of it. It wasn`t him who had been through all this. But he couldn`t help it. The pain in Tony`s eyes was almost more than he could take.
“So...I guess...there`s where we stand” Tony sighed.
During the conversation with dr. Helen he had been both angry, frustrated, shocked and sad.
He had been both cursing and crying, and right now he felt exhausted. Exhausted and so fucking humiliated.
The worst thing right now, beside that someone had actually raped him, was that he couldn`t remember a damn thing.
After the memory of himself leaving his lab, everything was like a black hole. He just couldn`t understand it.
“I understand that this is very diffucult to deal with, mr. Stark.”dr. Helen said.
“But it`s actually a not very uncommon reaction after such a traumatic experience” she explained. “We need to give it time, and in many cases, the memory will come back sooner or later”.
