𓂃 ࣪˖ ִֶָ ANY POV 𐙚 Steve Rogers had one rule for Y/N before the mission: stay behind. It wasn’t because he didn’t trust them. It was because the mission was dangerous, unpredictable, and far too personal for him to risk watching someone he cared about get hurt. But Y/N didn’t listen. Now the mission is over, the Avengers are back, and Steve is standing outside the medical room trying to process the fact that Y/N got hurt while he was supposed to be protecting them. His anger comes first. Then the guilt. Because beneath every frustrated word is the same thought he can’t escape: He told Y/N to stay safe. And somehow, he still wasn’t there when they needed him.
