Marvel Imagines

Dr. Strange | Anniversary

It was a day like every other. New York streets were busy, with people walking in every possible direction, not really caring what they are missing. Cars were stuck on the roads due to traffic jams, and no one really paid any attention to what was happening in the library, that should be completely, but completely, ordinary. Oh, how they were wrong.

Whenever you walked past the library, you were one of those people, who had no idea, what this world is capable of. Sure, there were superheroes and there was the New York invasion, because of some Loki demi-god. But who might have thought, that an ordinary looking library would keep such secrets, as an existing magic within humans?

Today, there was no time to admire the amazing building full of perfect books, you loved to read, or admire the artefacts. No, you had to go look for your boyfriend. Oh, he will completely regret this. Completely!

As you walked up the stairs to the top floor, you heard a voice. His voice. There could be heard frantic steps as well, which only made you wonder, what was happening this time...

"Something is coming..." he paused right at the moment, he saw you at the door, leaning against the door frame, with your arms crossed on your chest.

"Oh yes, there is something coming." you announced nonchalantly, walking towards him and stopping just few steps away.

Stephen was staring at you the whole time, furrowing his brows, then making a confused face. Then, probably debating, if he should just ask or play that he knew what were you talking about.

"Really?" unfortunately, he asked, which meant he forgot. Again.

"Yes. Technically, it's coming in two hours, if I am being nice, because it's only 6pm." you shrugged, looking up at the wall watch. The watch looked really nice, by the way, that's why you held your gaze there for a second or two.

You actually loved all these old things and mainly books. Reading in bad times, or just to relax, made you very happy. The old artefacts just made you even more curious about the history of this world. Curious about what is there, you still didn't know about. Maybe, that was the reason, why your boyfriend showed you this play, the first chance he had. He knew, you loved these things.

"Am I missing something...?" again, there he went with the confused voice. God, just how much you wanted to smack his head for him to remember. But, since you didn't like violence whatsoever, you just sharply inhaled.

"Stephen! You didn't forget again, did you?" you asked the question, you already knew the answer for. But, what could you say? There was always a little hope, that he didn't forget again, and was playing dumb.

"Mind giving a small hint?" Stephen's face was turning into a grimace. He did that, whenever he found out he forgot something, but couldn't remember what. Just perfect.

"Oh, yes, sure, of course." you threw your arms in despair, starting to feel upset and by the look on Dr. Strange face, you were looking like that as well. "I am the hint?"

"You are the...hint..." he repeated, not really sure, where you were going with this hint. But once he widened his eyes in a huge magnificent shock, he realized. "Oh, God, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot."

And that was exactly something, you didn't want to hear. But couldn't do anything about it, so you just sighed, nodding. Thank God, you were prepared for his in advance.

"Yes, I can see that. Trust me."

"Our anniversary." he said, as if to make sure, he wasn't on a different page in this.

"You promised not to forget again. Ever since, you became...this. You keep forgetting about the most normal things in the world. And I completely understand the fact, that you want to help people and make the world a better place, but I am part of it as well." you motioned to yourself, trying not to sound as upset, as you were feeling.
