Tony's POV
I opened my heavy eyelids and saw a blurry figure standing beside me. I was in a bed, a needle attached to my arm. "Mm." I hummed in pain when I tried to reposition myself on the old medical bed. "Tony?" The blurry figure said to me. "Mm." Is all I could make out. "Tony I was so damn worried...who did this to you?!" The blurry figure said once again. I realized it was Stephen and a rush of relief came over me. "Stephen. I'm so sorry." I said apologetically. "Don't be fucking sorry you hear me? The one who did this to you should." Stephen said. My eyesight got a little better and focused on Stephen. His eyes were puffy and red, his hands trembling, and his hair a total mess. "You look like shit." I said chuckling but then wincing in pain. "Thanks, don't talk anymore nor you'll hurt yourself even more." Stephen ehpsaid sarcastically. I looked down at my stomach to find 3 stab wounds. Each one of them had a variety of stitches, and my skin kind of tainted with the blood that spilled out. "Did they find out who did it?" I said knowing already who did it. "No not yet, but if I find him or her I'm going to rip them apart like they did to you." Stephen said determined. "Thanks "steph." I said smiling. A nurse came into the room. "Tony will stay here for two more days. You're a lucky man mr. strange." The nurse said smiling then walking away. Stephen blushed and smiled upon me. I smiled back. "If you really want to find out who did this.." I said hesitantly. Stephen perked up like a curious puppy. "You'll have to search for them." I said sighing, pitting my head down. "Why?" Stephen said with a confused look. "I'm afraid if I tell you, they'll find out and harm me even more." I said with a sorrowful look. "But-" I cut him off. "For me. Please." I said grabbing his hand and squeezing it lightly. Stephen sighed. "Fine." "Thank you." I said. I realized I was holding his hand for a long time and almost immediately pulled away until he grasp on my hand got tighter. I didn't mind so I just relaxed my hand again. "Tony, you don't know how miserable the past few weeks have been without you." Stephen said miserably. "Well I'm here now so don't worry." I said comfortingly. "Thank you." Stephen said wiping his wet eyes. I tightened my grip on his hand and smiled like an idiot. I looked back at him. "I want to say this now." I said hesitantly. "Hm?" Stephen said curious. "I've been meaning to say this for a long time, but I was afraid.." I said. "Continue.." Stephen whispered. I smiled. "I love you Stephen Vincent Strange, and nothing is going to change that." I said finally letting it out. His express went from curious to surprised. Stephen smiled back at me. "I love you too Anthony Edward Stark." Stephen said blushing a little. I leaned a little bit forward ignoring the pain in my stomach. Stephen leaned in closer. We were only inches apart. "I love you so much." Stephen whispered and leaned in. His lips were as soft as the clouds and as smooth as a baby's skin. After some seconds we pulled apart smiling like two idiots. After we kissed we heard a clap. I tensed up. "What the f-" Stephen turned around and saw Bucky and Clint. "Bucky? Clint?" I said exasperated because they ruined the moment. "Sorry to interrupt but we found out someone stabbed you like 3 times." Bucky said. "I'm surprised you're actually still alive." Clint said plainly. "Me too." I agreed. Stephen got up from the medical bed and shook hands with both men. "So are y'all finally together?" I said whiny. "Maybe.." Bucky said blushing along with Clint. "Glad to hear it, you two gay buffoons." I said bluntly chuckling. "Shut it stark." Clint said laughing. Stephen smiled at me. "I'm guessing y'all two are together now?" Bucky said raising an eyebrow and smirking. Stephen and I both blushed deeply. "I-" I got cut off by Stephen saying "yep!" "Oh ok-" I said grabbing his hand. "Nat and Bruce couldn't come, they said their 'too busy'." Clint said putting up air quotations. Bucky held Clint's hand after he said it and got a embarrassed reaction from Clint. "At least we know tony is ok." Stephen chimed in. "Ye." Clint said smiling at Bucky with love eyes. We kept on chatting about school and stuff until visiting hours were over and Bucky and Clint had to go. They let Stephen stay with me since they now considered him 'family'. "I love you." Stephen kept on saying playing with my fingers. "I love you too." I said back. Stephen was cuddling me in the medical bed. "I promise you I'll find that bastard who did this to you." Stephen said sighing. "You don't have to do anything as long as you're here with me." I said caressing his cheek. "Hm." Stephen hummed. I laid my head on his chest, my fingers crossed intertwined with his. "I wonder what I'm going to say to the teachers this time. There aren't any more excuses to make." I said. "Maybe you should just say you were sick for like I don't know, 5 weeks?" Stephen suggested. "I've been out for 5 weeks?!" I said with wide eyes. "Yep." Stephen said popping the 'p'. "Shit, now their really going to be curious!" I said panicking. "Don't worry, I told the teachers you were sick with a very bad flu that would be contagious." Stephen said. "Oh...ok." I said looking away from his eyes. "Did you not want that?" Stephen said now worried. "No, no! It just sounds weird." I chuckled. "Well at least it worked. Those stupid teachers actually believed it." Stephen said and laughed along with me. A few hours passed of us making jokes and chatting, mostly blushing. Not soon after we both fell asleep, fingers intertwined, smiling.A/N: i did this chapter to make it up to y'all for the last one :))) I just had to do it because I wanted them to already kiss- also alittle but of winter hawk in here also ;)) remember I love EaCh aNd evEry One oF YASS!!!
