Ch.21 happily ever after

Stephen's POV
2 years later
After the storm the flowers bloomed. Tony finally overcame Natasha's death. Christine would check up on us frequently. It was all going fine. It was a calm Saturday, me laying down on the couch, while tony was on top of me. "Thank you for staying by my side after all the crazy things happened." Tony smiled at me. "I would be a fool to not be there with you Anthony." I smiled back. "I love it when you call me by my full name, it warms my heart." Tony chuckled. "I love you too, Anthony." I pressed my forehead against his. "Will you stay with me forever?" I said as I pulled out a golden band. "Stephen..I'm.." Tony was lost for words. "Is that a yes?" I smiled. "Of course dummy." Tony laughed. I put the ring on his finger. "I love you Stephen Vincent Strange." Tony gave me a soft kiss. "I love you too, Anthony Edward Stark." I said. We both got up from the couch. I started making breakfast while Tony sat in a chair. "Where do you think the future will take us?" Tony asked me. "I honestly don't know, but hopefully somewhere good." I said looking at his chocolate brown eyes. "Yeah." Tony agreed.

Tony's POV
I got my masters degree in engineering, while Stephen got his masters in mystical arts. I moved into Stephen's flat back home where our old school was. Back to normal I guess. I would see my old friend group sometimes and invite them over. I really missed Natasha. Right now I was reading a book about life while Stephen talked to me about his. "I never knew you wanted to be a doctor." I laughed. "Yeah..I was planning to go to medical school until this magic thing appeared." Stephen said and turned to me. "You're really beautiful." Stephen muttered and stroked my face. "Thanks." I said, turning red. Stephen lightly kissed me. And so I did too. I really like this life. Just don't count the pain. Stephen got up from the bed we were in and went to go get the mail. When he came back, he came back with an envelope. "Who's it from?" I asked. "Baron and the ancient one." Stephen started opening the envelope. We both read it.

Dear Stephen strange,
Thank you for attending my school. Well not really, more like forced. But still, thanks for putting up with it. You've taught me a lot, as much as I've taught you. Though I may not have the biggest relationship with you, you were like the son I've never had. I really felt like a caretaker for once. I've never really showed it, but I've been looking after you even though you've never noticed. Thank you once again.
Love, the ancient one.
P.S. thanks for being a friend, you were basically the only one I had in that school-Baron
"That's lovely." I said and looked up at him. He was in tears. Happy tears. "Oh stephen." I said and brought him into a hug. "I'm so happy. What could go wrong?" Stephen asked me laughing while crying. He was beautiful. "Nothing. Nothing on my watch." I said and hugged him tighter. We both kissed. It lasted 10 seconds but it felt like 10 years. After a while we decided to go to the park. I remember our night walk, our swimming session, and every memory we've had here. "I remember this place. So many memories." Stephen said looking around. It was noon so the sun was starting to set. "Yeah." I said as I looked around too. "You know, every single little gesture, choice, and decision has brought me here. With you. And I'm glad it did. Because if it didn't I'd lose my mind." Stephen said and looked down at me. I looked back up at him. "I'm glad it did too." I said. We walked the trail we used to walk during those teenage nights. "I can't believe it," Stephen said. "Since 4 years, that I've met you, you've made me the happiest man alive." Stephen said and looked down to his feet. "I'm glad to know that." I said and went under his gaze and kissed him. Oh how I kissed him. I wanted this to last. And it did. "We should sit down, admire the sunset." I said and took him by the hand. We sat down on a bench and looked at the sun going down. It was truly a masterpiece. The thing that made it pop was Stephen.

Ancient one's POV
I wrote him and letter and sent it to him. I just hope he would read it today. I've been walking the halls where the people I taught were now teaching. I remember so many things. I remember Stephen struggling. But I remember him trying again. "Baron," I looked at Baron. "Yes miss?" Baron looked back at me. "Do you think he'll remember us?" I asked sighing. "Of course he will. You wrote him a letter he would never forget." Baron said. "Yes, i suppose so." I said and looked around.

Narrator's POV
And so Stephen and tony went on like this forever. Both would laugh, both would love, both would take care of each other. No one knew the real reason how all of it happened, but both of them were happy to know that at least it lead them to eachother. Natasha was greatly remembered, Steve was finally defeated, Clint and Bucky decided to get married, Loki decided to live at his normal home, while Thor stayed where his friends were. Pepper was helping Christine at the hospital, while as the ancient one, Baron, and Wong looked over the magical school. Stephen and tony had their happy ending. And they were beautiful together. They attended Bucky and Clint's wedding, got drunk, and almost got arrested. But everything was ok. Everything was going to plan. Stephen and tony had their wedding. Both were living happily ever after, although they wouldn't really call the horror in their lives a fairytale. As long as both of them would wake up to eachother, everything was ok. As long as they could see the perfect thing each had. A smile.

A/N: this is the end guys, thank you for being here. :) I love each of my readers. I hate to make the story end, but I didn't have anymore ideas. Love you, bye.
