Just a little bit of fluff for the soul. I got the idea from an IronStrange Oneshot I read by its_joselyn. Please make sure to check her out!

       Stephen had just gotten back from Karmar-Taj. It was late at night, and the Sanctum was silent. On the couch, Wanda sat, asleep. Stephen smiled at her; she looked calm for once. He told Levi to lift her up, as to not wake her, and bring her to their shared room. He walked slowly behind them.

       After Levi put Wanda down, Stephen thanked him, sent him off, and stepped into the bathroom to get ready for bed as well.

       Wanda rolled over and squinted at the light coming from the bathroom. "Stephen? Is that you?" "Yeah, it is. Just go back to sleep."

       He came out a few minutes later and laid down, Wanda moving closer to him as he did so. "Is everything okay there?" she asked, stifling a yawn. "Yeah, it was just a small-mix up." "One that took 4 days?" ".......Okay, maybe it wasn't that small." Wanda let out a giggled, and he pulled her closer. Silence settled between them.

       "Do you wanna see something cool?" "....Sure." Stephen opened up a portal about a foot away from their bed, and the night sky was on the other side. It was filled with stars, unlike in the city. There were some red ones, some blue, and far to many to count. Wanda's mouth was agape; completely mesmerized. "....It's gorgeous."

       "Just like you."
