Stephan's P.O.V
'Back in Black,
I hit the sack,
I've been to long I'm glad to be back.'
I laugh quietly. Whoever my soul mate is, they are obsessed with AC/DC. I wish I knew who they were though, because I have a word to have with them. They listen to this song way to much.
I close the book that I was trying to read, knowing that with this music in my head I wouldn't be able to focus.
'Yes, I'm let loose,
From the noose,
That's kept me hanging about.'
I walk around the sanctum making sure everything is the way it's supposed to be. I don't really know what to do at the moment. Most of my time is spent reading- which obviously isn't going to happen anytime soon as I found that whenever my soulmate puts music on it lasts from a few hours to days.
'I've been looking at the sky,
Cause it's getting me high,
Forget the hearse cause I never die.'
When I see everything is the way it should be I head to my room. Though it's not really dirty, I'm gonna clean it and organize it as much as possible to keep myself occupied.
'I got nine lives,
Cat's eyes,
Abusin every one of them and running wild.'
I dust the bookshelves in my room, having to fly a little to reach the top.
"Cause I'm back!
Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back!
Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back, back~
Well, I'm back in black!
Yes, I'm back in black!"
I didn't even realize I was singing along, but I guess it's not really surprising. With how much my soulmate listens to this, I know all the words by now.
Wong comes into my room, not bothering to knock. I land back on the ground and put the duster brush thing on a table in my room.
"What is it Wong?" I asked.
Wong shrugs, "The Avengers called, said they needed you for something." He told me.
I frown. I'm pretty sure I know what they want. They've been bugging about me joining their team for weeks now, each time telling them no. It's strange -no pun intended- though, because whenever I go there it's always when my soulmate is in a music spree and it's also when Tony Stark is in his lab working.
I sigh but open a portal to the tower anyways. I wave slightly at Wong then step inside the portal. I'm in the living room area in the tower and I see all of The Avengers there besides Stark.
'Cause I'm back on the track,
And I'm beatin the flack,
Nobody's gonna get me on another rap.'
"What do you want?" I ask impatiently.
Natasha stands up and comes over towards me. The rest stay behind. Not that I would ever admit this, but I'm scared when it's just me and Romanoff talking. I have a feeling she will make me agree and then I'll be on their team.
She signals me over to the kitchen and I reluctantly follow her. She takes a seat on a bar stool and gestures me to sit next to her.
"Cause I'm back,
Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back!
Yes, I'm back!
Well, I'm back back~
Well, I'm back in black,
Yes, I'm back in black!"
I mumbled the lyrics quietly waiting for Natasha to start talking. When she hears what song I'm singing she raises a brow before shrugging it off.
Romanoff stares at me for a bit before sighing. "Why won't you just join the team?" She asked.
I groan. "I have to protect the sanctum. And also, maybe, just maybe, I don't want to!" I snap.
She glared at me for a second before a smirk appears on her face. I shift uncomfortably in my seat.
"Alright, fine. But follow me for a second please." She says bitter sweetly.
I follow her out of the kitchen and towards the elevator. She presses a button and the doors closed.
When we arrive on the designated floor she leads me to a door. She types a pin in and the doors open. I follow Natasha in and look around. There are blue prints, metal pieces, tools, and other things around the sort everywhere. Are we in Tony's lab?
The farther we walk in, I eventually see Tony at a work bench, a piece of one of his suits on the table, while he does an air guitar motion. I then realize,
He is doing the guitar solo that's from Back in Black. The song and part that is in my mind right now.
"Well, I'm back, yes I'm back!
Well I'm back, yes I'm back!
Well I'm back-"
Natasha interrupted Tony's singing- which by the way was amazing. "Tony!" She yelled.
Tony immediately stopped what he was doing and turned to us. He blushed slightly and mumbled a "Friday, pause music," then the music stopped, as did the music in my head.
"H-Hey Nat!" He stuttered. Tony turned to me and smiled slightly. "Hey Strange!" He greeted.
I didn't say anything back, I was at a lost for words. Is Tony my-
"Well. It was fun seeing ya. But I gotta head out. Have fun you two." Romanoff says before leaving quickly and I could've sworn I saw a smirk on her face. Tony raised a brow but shrugged it off.
"That was weird. Anyway, what's up Strange? Haven't seen you in a while." Tony chirped.
I didn't know what to say. I gulped down whatever nerves I had and made eye contact with Tony's doe like eyes.
"Uh.. Tony..." I started. Tony looked at me worriedly.
"Is everything alright?" He asked.
I take a deep breath and pull out my phone. I go on my playlist and click on a random song, after making sure my volume was extremely quiet.
"Can you sing whatever song is about to come to your mind?" I asked. He looked at me weirdly but nodded anyways.
I put my phone speaker next to my ear, so I would be able to hear the music.
"I'm laughing, on the outside~
Crying, on the inside~
'Cause I'm, so in love,
With you~" Tony sang in his beautiful voice.
My eyes widened. That's the song that's playing on my phone. Tony smiled slightly.
"You know I always hear that song, my soulmate loves it. I didn't think I'd like it at first but-" Tony cuts himself off, as if it's just now hitting him.
"Sing whatever song comes to your mind.." Tony repeated the words I said to him. He gasps and quickly grabs his phone, I'm guessing doing the same. He puts his speaker to his ear and clicks play. Suddenly a song comes into my head and I sing along, hearing this song a lot.
"I'm on the highway to Hell~" I sang along.
Tony's eyes widened even more if that's possible and he drops his phone to the floor. I put my phone away and awkwardly stand there.
"So... how are you..?" I awkwardly ask.
Tony doesn't say anything, he just take steps towards me. His eyes meet mine and he holds his gaze as he approaches me.
"Y-You're..." Tony trailed off. I just nod my head in return.
Now that I think about it, it makes since. Whenever I hear music he's working in his lab. And my heart always flutters when I see him. I'm just surprised it took this long for me to figure it out. I'm normally better at this kind of thing.
Tony's hands are shaking as he puts a hand on my cheek. I place my already shaking hand on top of his and smile slightly. I lean down and kiss his forehead softly. Tony wraps his arms around me and lays his head on my chest, and I wrap my arms around him in return. A smirk finds its way on my face.
"By the way, we need to talk about your music taste."
