Stephen
We get up and go out to join the others for dinner. Peter is back by now and I join Pepper in the preparation of dinner.
"So why was Tony so happy after his phone call?" Pepper asks and I side glance her as I cut the onions for the pasta sauce.
"He was able to get me an appointment to get my lungs replaced. It's tomorrow at 7:00 so that's probably why he was happy to be honest. He came back into the room I was laying in with a smile on his face about it."
Pepper glances over at me with a small smile on her face and nods before saying "You two are dating aren't you? I mean I don't care but if you are then I want to know that you're not planning on hurting him."
"Pepper I don't intend on hurting Tony. And yes we are dating, but keep it quiet for now since only you, Wanda, Wong, and Peter know so far."
She nods and we finish making dinner. I make a salad in case anyone wants any but truthfully it's mostly for me.
The next day at 7:00
Tony
They just got everything ready for Stephen's surgery and Helen walks out and places a hand on my shoulder.
"Calm down Tony. He's going to be okay." She says and I nod before she leaves to go in there and get ready to start the surgery.
An hour later
I must have fallen asleep because I wake up to a tap on my shoulder from Fury. "Wake up Stark. The sorcerer wants to talk with you." He says and I stand up and stretch.
I walk into the room that Stephen was put in and find him laying there with a smile on his face. "How you doing Steph?"
He looks at me and says "I feel much better and don't feel so out of breath anymore. Thank you so much love. I never thought that this was possible." I smile and walk over to give him a light hug.
"I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm just happy that you're breathing properly and are happy."
Stephen kisses me and it catches me of guard like it did the first time he did this but I kiss him back despite my shock.
Two days later
Stephen
Tony and I leave and I make a stop by the Sanctum to see Wong before joining Tony at the tower.
"Wong." I see him walk out of the library and set the books down on a table when he notices me.
"Stephen. What's got you so happy?" He asks and I explain to him the surgery I had and how its helped my lungs. Wong pats me on the back and congratulated me before I leave to join Tony back at the tower and calm the nerves of anyone who knew about my condition.
When I show back up the first person I see is Steve. "How are you doing now, after your surgery Stephen?" He asks.
"I'm doing well." There's an odd silence between us.
"Look let's start over. Put the fight behind us and start over." Steve says and I nod in agreement. Steve is a good guy at heart and always fights for what he believes is right.
He just lost his temper that day. "Sure." I hold out my hand to him. "I'm Dr. Stephen Strange."
He grips my wrist instead of my hand and says "I'm Steve Rogers. It's a pleasure to meet you Stephen."
"The same to you Steve." Our hands return to our sides and then I walk off to find the others.
I bump into Nat and Clint as they come out of the gym and Clint asks "So how's it feel to breathe normally again?"
