You walk around the grocery store, pushing a cart "Why are we doing this again?" Stephen stares at the linoleum aisles filled with candy "It's halloween, we need to stock up on candy. And also Wong also stole a but from my stash" You shrug as you shove a bunch of candy into the cart
"Isn't that too much?" The doctor stares at the cart
"Don't be a killjoy, you're not a dentist are you? And I want to set up a candy bowl outside the Sanctum for kids" Your face lights up at the sight of your favorite candy and you run up to it
"Thank God, they have these" You squeal in delight.
Your fun was soon interrupted by the sound of your phone ringing
"Hello, you've reached the epicenter of the universe, where everything does not make sense. The only thing that does make sense is that nothing makes sense" You blurt out
"Are you ok?" Tony's voice showed great concern for his friend "Yeah, I'm fine. Why'd you call?" You ask "Who is that?" Stephen points to the phone "It's Tony"
"Stephen's there? Cool, two for one. I'm hosting a halloween party at the tower. Costumes are necessary" Tony alerts "We can wear anything?"
"Sure, knock yourselves out" You say goodbye and turn to Stephen "Tony invited us to a halloween party. And I know that look, you're gonna say no, but hear me out-"
0
"Y/n, no"
"Come on! I just had this cool costume idea for each other, pretty please" You brought out your puppy eyes as he sighs "Fine... What's the costume anyway?"
"Do you know the BBC show Sherlock?"
~~~
You secure the black coat over your body, checking yourself out on your mirror "I'm a genius" You walk out to see Stephen all dressed up "See? I told you, you'd make a good Sherlock" You ruffle his hair a little bit
"And you're supposed to be?" He raises a brow
"Irene Adler" You pose before bursting out in laughter
"I got inspo from the episode, Scandal in Belgravia. Sherlock gives his coat to Irene because she was naked" You catch his eye
"No, I am not naked. I have a tube top and shorts underneath this. And it's freezing outside" You check the time and jump in excitement
"Let's go, it's almost eight" You grab his hand and stop to get a big bowl of candy. Placing it outside the Sanctum and writing a note reminding everyone to take one.
~~~
"Woah, you look..." Prue cuts herself off at the sight of you and Strange
"Buck, I'm gonna leave you for Y/n. Is that alright?" She says mindlessly
"What? No, Prue!" Before Bucky could refuse, you were pulled away by Prue "You look really hot right now but how did you convince Doctor man to dress up as Sherlock??" Prue checks if you are alone and soon grabs your shoulders, shaking you a little
"I don't know, he kind of just agreed" You tried to converse but the constant shaking was annoying you "Can you stop shaking me!?" You now grab her arms to restrict her
"Yeah fine" You then notice her costume "Are you dressed up as Morticia?" She spins in delight
"Yes I am!"
"Oh my God- Did you draw on a fake mustache on Bucky?" You turn to the boys chatting
"Yeah, it's punishment since he shaved the stubble off" Prue grubbles
"You have weird taste"
"You have no taste"
"I'm offended"
"Be as offended as you want cause we're getting hammered" She changes the topic and leads you to the bartender.
After ordering a few shots, Wanda and Nat join you both
"What are you supposed to be?"
"I'm Kim Possible" Nat says bluntly "Daphne" Wanda grins with a little wave "You both look adorable. Nat you look very hot" You point to her with a wink
"Are you gay or not?" Prue nudges you
"Honestly. I don't know at this point"
"Dude, same!" Prue exclaims a little too loudly "Wanna get extremely drunk and maybe kiss?" You joke with Nat
"How about we focus on the 'extremely drunk' part" Prue shoves two shots between you two
"I'll keep sober to catch you up in the morning" Wanda refuses the shot handed to her
"So, you and Stephen are matching costumes" Nat mentions after downing a shot
"Yeah? So what? He's fine with it" Your brows furrow "He's fine with it because he likes you" Prue chuckles
"Shut up. He doesn't, he's a friend, that's it." You look over to Stephen who hung out with Bucky and Sam for some reason
"See? You even check up on him. You're smitten!" Wanda catches your eyes and you scoff
"You are all delusional"
~~~
Ten shots and three beers later, you were on a couch blabbering with Prue laid on your lap "Hey...?" Your head turns to Stephen who had a look of concern
"Oh! Prue, wake up! The handsome doctor man is here" You slap Prue's shoulder making her wince in her sleep
"Shh" She slurred out tiredly
"How much alcohol did you drink?" Stephens eyes drift off to the coffee table and he sighs
"You need to sober up"
"Ew, doctor man is boring" You grimace, before reaching for a bottle of beer "Y/n stop, your liver isn't going to like this" He grabs the bottle, turning it away from your reach
"Are you concerned for me?" You say in a hopeful tone
"No, I'm concerned for your liver. Of course I am, this could kill you" He puts the bottle away and sits next to you
"Well, you drink" You retort with a huff
"I drink sometimes" He rolls his eyes
"Be thankful you are a very pretty man. If you weren't, I'd be kicking your ass right now" You face him, not noticing the light flush appearing on his face
"Actually, why are we single? We're hot right? Why isn't anyone falling to their knees begging us to date them?" You lean on his shoulder
"Oh! What if hot people should just date each other? So that none of us would be lonely anymore?" You look up to him once again
Your faces are inches apart. The last time this happened, it felt like a dream. Stephen wanted this, he wanted to hold you close, he wanted to listen to you ramble, he wanted a chance to kiss you but he just couldn't. You had alcohol in your system, you won't remember anything after. Knowing this, it just drew him in further.
What he doesn't know, you wanted the same. Everything he wanted, you wanted it too. So badly. To the point that you would tear the world apart if needed just to be with him.
"Kiss me, please" You say breathlessly "Y/n, you're drunk. You won't remember any of this"
"Isn't that a good thing?" You look at his lips, contemplating "No, it can make things worse. Please just sober up a little"
"I'll sober up if you kiss me"
"Y/n..."
His voice trails off as you moved closer and-
"AH!" Prue screams as she falls off the couch "What the hell Y/n?" She sits up rubbing her head "Are you okay doll?" Bucky rushes to her aid and she nods.
He begins to carry her bridal style "Looks like yours is tired too" Bucky points out as he leaves.
Stephen looks down and sees you passed out in his arms. Sighing once again, he made it his responsibility to bring you both home safely. And taking care of you.
He stands over your bedside table, setting a glass of water and an aspirin pill on it with a note. He now looks over to you as you peacefully fall deeper into your slumber.
