Ironstrange: Becoming the Sorcerer Supreme

Early in the morning, Stephen is getting ready for a day of work at the hospital. He was buttoning up his shirt when a pair of arms wrapped around his waist.

"Good morning, Tony." Stephen chuckled when Tony pressed feather light kisses to his neck.

"Morning, baby." Tony said, rubbing his hands up and down Stephen's sides.

"I would very much love to continue what you're starting here...unfortunately I have a surgery to preform today." Stephen said turning around in Tony's arms.

"Alrighty, baby, go on and save some lives." Tony said, giving Stephen's butt a light smack.

The brain surgery that Stephen preformed that day was a complete success, which earned him an award. He was on his way to the awards banquet, driving fast on a mountainside road while on the phone with his boyfriend.

"I'm really sorry that I can't be there to support you, baby." Tony apologized.

"It's alright, darling, I know you have Avengers stuff." Stephen assured him.

"Ya know what I'm gonna do to you when you get home?" Tony asked seductively.

"And what's that?" Stephen replied, blushing.

As Tony listed off some R-rated stuff, it made Stephen's mind go off into sexy lala land, distracting him from driving safely. And then suddenly there's a giant boulder tumbling into the road, causing Stephen to slam on the brakes and swerve. Then, the car rolls down the cliff and crashes into a fence. The last thing Stephen heard before passing out was the car horn blaring due to his head laying against it. When he woke up, the first thing he saw was Tony asleep in a chair next to his hospital bed.

"T-Tony." Stephen croaked, his voice too weak for his boyfriend to hear it.

"*cough*...T-Tony!" he forced out a bit louder.

Tony woke up, saw that Stephen was awake, then scrambles closer to him and cups his face.

"Baby, you're awake, thank god. I thought I was gonna lose you." Tony sobbed, pressing his forehead to Stephen's.

Stephen went to wipe the tears from Tony's cheeks, but when he tried to move his hands...he couldn't.

"Oh my god." Stephen gasped when he saw several pins in his hands that were propped up.

His breathing sped up as he started to panic.

"Baby. Baby, calm down. It's gonna be okay. Everything's gonna be okay, I promise." Tony told him petting his hair.

But everything wasn't as okay as Tony had promised. After several surgeries, Stephen's hands were practically useless, he could hardly write his own name. Because of this, he lost his job and a lot of money trying to find solutions to his problem.

"Baby, please slow down, you're running yourself ragged." Tony begged.

The genius hated to see the man he loved fall apart like this.

"Pfft, you're one to talk, when's the last time you slowed down on anything?" Stephen scoffed.

"Hey, I'm just trying to help." Tony replied.

"How can you possibly help me!? You're not a doctor, you're just a stupid engineer! I need a medical solution here, not one of your f**king robots!" Stephen snapped.

He then storms out of his penthouse apartment, and Tony doesn't follow him because he was too upset that his boyfriend was yelling at him for no good reason. While he was walking through the city, Stephen finds out about a way he could fix his hands. Stephen doesn't hesitate to abandon everything and go halfway across the world to pursue this cure, leaving Tony without a single word.

"He's better off without me, anyway." Stephen sighed as he dodged another one of Tony's calls.

Although, when he learns that this miracle cure is magic, something neither he nor Tony believed in, well...he's not exactly happy.

"You've got to be kidding me! You had me leave behind the love of my life for this!?" Stephen shouted.

"I didn't make you do anything. The choice to abandon your lover was yours and yours alone." The Ancient One replied calmly.

Stephen groans knowing that the woman was right. He only had himself to blame for the way he left Tony. Then when The Ancient One showed him a thing or two, Stephen begged her to teach him sorcery. For the next two months, Stephen studied the mystic arts. A few weeks into his studies, Tony had stopped trying to contact Stephen. When that happened, Stephen wasn't sure if he felt relieved or angry that Tony had given up.

"I'm sorry, I never wanted to hurt you, Tony." Stephen mumbled to himself as he read through one of the magic books.

Fortunately, all the stuff with Dormamu and his followers distracted Stephen from his relationship problems. When it was all over and Stephen was the protector of the New York Sanctum, he spent most of his time sitting in the dark, staring at a photo of him and Tony on his phone.

"Oh, for crying out loud, just call him and apologize!" Wong groaned annoyed.

"He wouldn't want to talk to me...not after the way I treated him when all he was trying to do was help me." Stephen sighed sadly.

"But you're right...he does at least deserve an apology." he added.

Stephen sends a very long text to Tony explaining where he had been and what he was doing for the past couple months. He then apologized for the way he left him and for the things he said. Next he apologized for being inconsiderate of Tony's feelings about the accident, he realizes now that it was just as traumatizing for Tony as it was him. And lastly, he told him that he loved him.

"I hope he reads it." Stephen said, holding his phone in his hand.

Suddenly, his phone starts ringing...Tony was calling him. The sorcerer starts to panic, his finger hovering over the accept button. Then, out of nowhere, Wong comes up, grabs Stephen's wrist and forces his hand to press the button, accepting Tony's call.

"You're welcome." Wong mutters walking away.

Taking a deep breath, Stephen puts the phone to his ear.

"Hey, sweetheart." Stephen said nervously.

"Don't you "hey, sweetheart" me, you jerk! Do you seriously not have the f**king decency to apologize to my face!? Are you honestly that much of a coward!?" Tony shouted, on the verge of crying.

"Would you have listened to me if I had just shown up suddenly at your place?" Stephen asked choking up.

"Yes! Because despite the sh*t you did to me and our relationship, like an idiot, I still love you!" Tony cried.

Not being able to stand being away from Tony any longer, Stephen takes out his sling-ring and opens a portal to him.

"Holy sh*t, you weren't lying about that sorcerer stuff." Tony gasped, startled by Stephen's sudden appearance.

Stephen walks up to Tony and pulls him into a powerful, passionate kiss.

"I'm so sorry." Stephen apologized, cupping Tony's face.

"Don't ever leave me again." Tony cried as Stephen wiped away his tears with his thumbs.

"I swear on my life, I'll never hurt you again." Stephen replied, pressing his forehead to Tony's.

This time, Tony pulls Stephen into a kiss, this one lasting longer than the one before. The two of them continue their reunion in the sanctum where Stephen shows Tony all the magic he learned.
