Summary: reader is worried about Stephen and doesn't want him to go and fight.

You woke up at the sound of the birds singing, a cold breeze touching your body and a soft good morning from Stephen, who was up before you were and watched you sleep.

"hey" you planted a soft kiss on his lips "how long have you been up?" you asked.

"long enough to watch you innocently sleeping".

"That's not creepy... Why didn't you wake me up?".

"Didn't want to disturb you. I know how much you love sleep... Come on, I'll make breakfast" he got up and helped you up.

You sat and watched him make you an omelet. The smell was amazing and the day seemed to be going well, you thought.

He gave you a plate and sat next to you.

"aren't you gonna eat?" you asked.

"I'm not hungry" he placed his elbow on the counter and his face on his elbow as he watched you eat.

"stop looking at me like that".

"like what?" he asked.

"like you're madly in love with me and can't think of anything other than me".

"but that's the truth".

"but I'm eating and I don't like to be observed".

"you look beautiful no matter what you do". Something was up with him but you didn't want to worry about things that might not actually be true.

After you finished your food, he took the plate and washed it.

"where do you want to go today?" he asked.

"Is today an important day? Did I forget about something?" you questioned.

"no, no. I just want to take you out. No special occasion" he informed you.

"Uhm... alright, how about...the Indian ocean? The Maldives maybe?" you suggested.

"The Maldives? Alright, get dressed".

You walked on the beach and swam in the ocean and he sat and watched you. He told you he didn't feel like swimming. You basically spent the entire day there and it was beautiful. In the evening, you decided to dine there. You went to a local restaurant and ordered some food. Stephen ordered a small meal and finished it quickly, then he stared at you.

"okay, that's it. I can't take it any more! What's wrong?" you asked.

"why would there be anything wrong?".

"let's see. You woke up early and watched me as I slept. You made me breakfast, washed the dishes, took me to the Maldives, yet you didn't feel like swimming and watched me the whole day and now you're staring at me like it's the last time you're gonna see me" you explained.

"Y/n, I have something to tell you".

"please don't say that you have to fight some outer-space aliens".

"There's a force coming that's a threat to our planet and I have to try and stop them".

"why do you have to do this every time? Aren't there some other superheroes? I mean what are the avengers doing?" you asked.

"They can't do it alone, they need my help and expertise" he informed you.

"and I need you here by my side, alive".

"I was going to leave at midnight and write you a letter".

"so you were just gonna abandon me like that without a word?".

"I knew if I told you, you wouldn't like it, but it's not gonna make a difference y/n. I'm going" he insisted.

"Please Don't go!" you begged.

"I have to. The fate of the world depends on it. I have a responsibility towards them,I have to protect them, protect you. I'm sorry, but it's the only way".

"you'll be safer here" he added.

He opened a portal and left you on the island all by yourself.
