It was strange how distracting the hum was. Yes, he loved how the lightest touch along the edge could create that sound but it didn't normally scatter his thoughts. It almost kept him from understanding what Tony had said and from asking, "What was the heart's reason?"
The difference in height reminded him of how things had been before the serum. Not the worst parts of it but simply being smaller than the world expected but without the frustrations that had followed him during that time.
"There is nowhere for me to go." The words were spoken softly and almost forgotten when Tony brushed his fingers against his hair. Smiling up at the genius, he almost expected Tony to fall but somehow he managed to stay on top of the mushroom.
A faint instinct warned him that it was a bad idea to agree but it quickly vanished as Steve began climbing onto the mushroom. When he was sure that it wasn't going to collapse under their weight, he scooted over to sit beside Tony. Absentmindedly, he reached out and ran his fingers through dark hair. "Usually you don't want to cat nap."
