Stephen Strange awoke with a start, gasping from a nightmare he was already starting to forget.

Covered in a cold sweat, Stephen tried to calm his erratic heart rate as he looked around the room he shared with his boyfriend. The clock on the wall said 5 am. So, not bad, but earlier than Stephen liked.

Stephen contemplated going back to sleep, but instead decided to go to the bathroom. When he got back, his lover, Tony Stark, was still fast asleep. Smiling softly at how adorable the older man was, Stephen quietly slipped back into bed and wrapped his arms around the mechanic. Tony sighed in his sleep and snuggled closer to Stephen's warmth, then fell into a deeper sleep. Maybe Stephen could follow suit and get a few more hours of sleep.

That sounded like a good idea.

The next time Stephen woke up, it was to the sound of singing from the kitchen. As he slowly gained consciousness, he realized that 1) his lover was no longer besides him, and 2) the gorgeous voice he heard- was Tony.

Stephen smiled. He didn't get to hear Tony sing very often, but when he did, it was always something to treasure. The words were lost to Stephen, but he could make out the tune of Love Story by Taylor Swift.

The singing of his boyfriend was suddenly interrupted by the growling of Stephen's stomach. Sighing, the doctor left the warmth of his bed and walked into the kitchen, hugging Tony from behind.

"Hi." Stephen groaned, resting his chin on Tony's head.

Tony hummed and turned to give Stephen a quick kiss. "Good morning to you, too. Or, afternoon." Tony said, waving his wooden spoon around. "It's about 12:30. Wanted to let you sleep in since you don't get much rest with your residency at the hospital."

"Mmm. Thanks." Stephen closed his eyes, wrapping his arms around the shorter man's waist. "I liked your singing."

Tony began to sway back and forth, almost as if he was rocking the two of them. "It's a love story, baby, just say yes~" he sang.

Stephen finished the song in his baritone voice, not as good as Tony's, but decent. "cause we we're both young when I first saw you~"

"Mm. Love you, Steph."

"Love you too, Tony."

Silence fell over the kitchen as Tony worked, though slightly hindered by Stephen's weight. Eventually, the smaller man stopped and just pushed Stephen off. "Go find yourself a pillow at the table- I'm making omelettes." He said as Stephen made a disgruntled noise. "No, I'm not going to burn the house down."

"Fine, fine." Stephen shuffled to the table and sat down, quickly resting his head on his arms. He watched Tony work in the kitchen and smiled.

He really did love Tony Stark.
