Wizards and Geniuses [IronStrange]

Date Night |6|

"Should I wear a tie? Or not?" Stephen showed Tony the differences with his magic. He was in a tuxedo, both of them are in the bathroom together. Tony is helping Stephen get ready.

"Wear it, but let me tie it for you." Tony stuck his fingers under Stephen's tie, and began to tie it. "Wow, you're good at tying." Stephen said as he looked in the mirror.

"I've been on many dates." Tony put the back of his hands on Stephen's chest for a second, as a friendly gesture. Stephen breathed in, "Okay... is there anything I should know before I go?" He asked Tony.

Tony shook his head, "Nope. Just don't be anything but yourself."

"That's obvious advice."

"You asked." Tony said with a grin. Stephen rolled his eyes, "Thank you for helping me."

Tony sighed, "Yeah... no worries." He frowned a bit, but his face lit up a few moments later, "You'll do great. I believe in you." He gently nudged Stephen's shoulder.

"Thank you." They both glanced at each other in the mirror.

"Stephen, you ready?" Mobius yelled out. "Uhhh, yes! Be right there!" He frantically combed his hair, and sprayed his breath. "Wait, before you leave." Tony stopped him as he tried to go out the door. He put his thumbs on Stephen's eyebrows, making them straight.

He grabbed a cone and curved Stephen's hair to the side. "And as a finishing touch..." He took a makeup palette from under the sink, and dabbed glitter under his eyes. Stephen felt flushed. "You're ready to go." Tony announced.

A wide smile curved on Stephen's lips, they left the bathroom together. "I'm ready Mobius." He put his phone in his pocket and walked into the living room.

"Wow..." Mobius gasped, "Breathtaking." He whispered. Stephen nervously giggled, "Thank you, you look amazing too."

"Disgusting. Leave now." Loki opened the door and gestured for them to leave. Tony kicked his ankle, "Ow!" Loki yelled.

"We'll use a portal." Stephen said, he did the whoosh whoosh movement with his fingers and opened a portal, leading to a restaurant. "You first." Stephen insisted, "Thanks!" Mobius walked in. Stephen followed after and the portal closed.

"If you want to talk about it, let me know." Loki said.

"Talk about what?" Tony asked.

"Your crush is going out with your friend, it must hurt."

Tony flashed an unamused expression, "And if you want to talk about your crush going out with your friend, I'm here."

"What are you talking about? I don't like Mobius."

"I never said who." Tony slyly smiled, and began to walk into the kitchen. "But you implied it!" Loki followed him.

"Allow me." Stephen pulled out a chair, Mobius sat in it, "Thank you."

Stephen ran to the other side and sat down, "Of course." And now everything was awkward, for Stephen at least. Mobius seemed to be content, which amazed Stephen.

They ordered their food and drinks. "So..." Stephen parted his lips, "I'm sorry... I'm so awkward." He told Mobius.

Mobius smiled, "What made you fall for me?"

Stephen blushed, "Well... you're the only sane person I've met here." Mobius laughed at that.

Stephen continued, "And... your mind is absolutely intriguing, the way you think and say things whenever you want to. You don't care what people think. You're secure and comfortable with yourself. I really admire you..."
