Stephen sat on the couch, waiting for Tony to return. He was supposed to be back 3 hours ago and Stephen was getting impatient. Tony was out on a mission with the rest of the team and Stephen stayed behind.

"FRIDAY, how far away is Tony?" Stephen looked towards the roof with slight annoyance. "Mr. Stark appears to be 5 minutes away. Would you like me to call him?" Stephen sighed and said no, getting up and going to Tony's lab where his launch pad was.

Tony Stark, on the other hand, was in a much more concerning state. The mission- though being successful- left him badly injured. He asked FRIDAY to go on autopilot as he flew back home. "Sir, would you like me to alert Doctor Strange of your condition?" Tonys' head shot up.

"No! Do not tell him!" Tony knew that Strange would have his head if he saw the state he was in. Tony sighed heavily as he saw the launch pad growing closer.

Once the suit landed Tony stumbled out, panting heavily and clutching his bleeding side. Tony stumbled over to his chair and almost collapsed. "FRIDAY, do a diagnostic s-" "Tony!" Starks' head shot up as he heard Stephens voice from down the lab, footsteps following.

Tony groaned. "There goes that plan." Stephen hurried over to Tony, eyes wide as he clenched his side in pain. "You are such an idiot Stark." Tony laughed as Stephen pulled up his shirt to examine his side.

with a grunt of pain and slight annoyance, Tony looked at Stephen. "Babe, really, I'm fi-" "Stark, you are bleeding from your side and nearly collapsed after getting out of your suit. Do not I'm fine me, I'm a doctor for god's sake." Not being able to come up with a snarky response, Tony shut his mouth.


-time skip-


Stephen had taken Tony down to the medical wing so they could fix his injuries and it didn't take long, only needing a few stitches for the gash in his side and for a few cuts on his face. The two males were now laying together on the couch, watching some random movie they paid no attention to.

Tony lay with his head in Stephens lap as he plays with Stephens' hands. "Why do you have so much trouble accepting help?" Stephen asked the bored Tony. With a sigh, Tony looked into Stranges eyes. "Because I can get by on my own, Strange." Stephen frowned at this.

It was no secret to anyone that Tony hated asking for help, he thought it made him look weak. "Admitting you may need help doesn't make you weak love." Stephen boredly ran his free hand through Tony's hair. Stark pursed his lips and avoided eye contact.

"I just...i don't see why you stay with me I'm a fucking mess." Stephen frowned at his boyfriend, bringing a hand to his cheek. "that's okay."

"I forget dates, anniversaries, birthdays-" Tony sat up and looked away from Stephen. "You have FRIDAY for that love." Tony didn't listen, still blaming himself for any mistake that he made. " I don't slee-" before he could continue Stephen interrupted.

"Then I'll spend all night in the lab with you and your bots." Tears welled in Tony's eyes before he said his next words. "...the nightmares." Stephen knew how much Tony struggled with nightmares, it being one of the main reasons he got such little sleep.

"I'll stay a cuddle with you all night if you want me too." Stephen continued on. "I do! Its just i-" Strange cut him off again and grabbed his hands. "Whatever you're gonna say to try change my mind its not gonna work. Tony, I'm in this for the long haul." Tony looked up at Strange with tears in his eyes.

"I love you so much." Tony mumbled as a tear fell down his cheek.
