Strange Affairs

The Strange Affair of Adelaide Harris

---

This is some sort of of past Infinity War, but with a different outcome. Well, I just needed a setting in which Stephen, Peter and Tony already met: Tony thought that his stupid heart would never stop aching, that he would never be able to forget Steve, never meet someone he would love like he loved Steve, never find another love in his life. He also didn't expect that his saviour would be the biggest asshole in universe. Arrogant, righteous, condescending, without an ounce of humour or rather with the worst black humour possible.

Someone up there in heaven has to be laughing his ass off, Tony thinks.

That out of all it had to be Dr. Stephen I'm-too-good-for-my-shirt Strange, who was there for him and understood him when no one else could. I'm just saying," Stephen sips at his cup of tea. Black tea with milk. He drinks his fucking tea with milk! Stephen doesn't answer, just continues sipping his tea, until Tony decides he has enough. He takes his latte macchiato, about to leave, when Stephen clears his voice behind him.

Tony should react to his words, laugh or make a joke about what Stephen said, but somehow he can't. So he stays silent. Tony has loved Steve. In a way he has never loved someone before. For someone his age and his experience these feelings came as such a surprise.

Steve, despite his calm exterior and quiet demeanour, was like his personal storm. It was loud and passionate, as long as it lasted, and swept him away. The sex was not the problem. And for a long time also their differences weren't. The hurricane, Tony thinks, his personal destructive hurricane that wiped away everything. It smashed and took everything and just left the broken pieces for Tony to remember it every day.

Sometimes he even wishes they hadn't even met.

And then he feels guilty for thinking something like this, because despite everything he has good memories. He likes Steve, genuinely does. It's almost like a joke that they are working together again. For two years Tony has wondered how and if they will ever work together again.

It's almost like nothing has ever happened between them. Because Tony notices the way Steve's eyes linger on him when he thinks no one is watching, he also notices how he himself avoids being alone with Steve for too long. He has introduced Stephen to the others, the ones who didn't know him already.

He and Stephen, he wonders, would they have ever gotten along if they weren't trapped in universe together? Getting along is probably the wrong word, Tony thinks, when he watches how Stephen takes a cup. In a weird twisted way Tony respects him for the way he can come up with comebacks and They kind of resemble each other. Stephen raises his eyebrows, pointing at the group of people who are watching them in interest. And to Tony's surprise, Stephen's lips tug in amusement.

Tony doesn't even need to look to know who is talking to him. He would be able to hear this voice out of thousands. He leans against the desk next to Tony now. Fucking alone, why did he let his guard down like that? He doesn't want to be alone with Steve. He is afraid of Steve's words. He is afraid of what they will do when they are together.

He is scared that the hurricane will turn back into a simple storm and that Tony will be too weak to say no and just go along with it again. The storm is going to turn into a hurricane again, he knows that. He knows because he knows himself and he knows Steve. He knows their love is going to destroy everything again.

Their friends, the people they care for. If it happens again, the hurricane and the destruction, he is not sure if he will be strong enough to move on once more. Together they are like a ticking bomb. They will explode at one point and destroy everything around them. For a moment he forgot, Tony notes in surprise, he forgot that he is talking to Steve and not to Peter. The one Peter, Stephen and I were stuck in. And he told me what happened.

Steve does stop, and for a split second Tony wonders if he actually said the last words out loud. But gladly he didn't. He laughs at Steve's surprised face, at the red cloak wrapping itself around him and tugging at him, and But the cloak has a will of its own, and doesn't want to let go. Steve is about to say something, and this time it's not the cloak saving Tony from Steve's words but its owner himself.

The cloak lets go of Tony and returns to its owner, not without messing with Tony's hair first. Peter beams at him. Stephen and I wanted to get some lunch. We wanted to get you to come with us. For a second Tony's heart stops beating. He isn't sure what's happening, but he notices. Notices how Steve looks at him for a moment, then at Peter, and then at Stephen. The longest time at Stephen. Stephen doesn't break the look. But Tony knows him well enough to see how fake it is. They wait for Peter. Because like every other annoying teen he of course forgot something important in his room.

You don't leave them behind dying. Peter returns before Tony can say something. He is glad he doesn't need to react to Stephen's words. Stephen is the first, he thinks, the first who told him. The first who said out loud what he himself was thinking too. If Steve had truly loved him, he would have returned to save him. Steve probably felt fond of him, he enjoyed being with him, the sex was great. But he didn't love him. Escape the war for at least a few hours. Stephen raises his eyebrows, checking Steve from head to toe. If you think this will make us be more concentrated and focused again The sight of Steve always hurts a bit.

He is wearing a pair of black trousers, snugging tightly around his legs, a blue shirt hugging his frame. Tony knows every inch of his body, every muscle, he knows which part to kiss, where to lick, where to bite. Seeing him on the terrace, a cocktail in his hand and smiling while he talks to Bruce and Thor makes his stomach sting. It's a well-known feeling.

Like a knot in there. Previously the same knot was a good thing.

It would twist and turn when he saw Steve, resembling the feeling when he flew for the first time, like he sits in a rollercoaster. And it goes down, and up, fast, twisted, exciting. But it hurts less than it did last week, last month, last year. And Tony isn't sure what to make out of this new realisation. You like Steve, everyone likes him, and that's fine. I like him too. He is a good guy. I haven't seen you smiling in forever.

And we both know it's not because of our battle against Thanos and because of almost losing everyone. Rhodey probably didn't even notice himself that he used the past tense. Is it true though? Does he look so much worse than Steve? Tony looks to the side, noticing how a frame is lingering at the doorway, watching but not joining them. Bucky is surprised when he approaches him. He looks at Tony like he is an actual ghost, like he came back from the dead. He cannot shake off the images inside his head when he looks at Bucky. But the anger got number, and turned into something less strong, less desperate.

What a sad life did this guy even live? The other just shrugs. He is all I have. That's the problem, Tony thinks. Bucky believes in Steve. And Tony did too. It's not because of Bucky anymore, he has realized that a while ago. But he just doesn't trust Steve anymore. Not his decisions, not his words.

Not really, but he is dying to see the look on Steve's face when he approaches him together with Bucky. It's worth the look on Steve's face, and the disbelief in Natasha's eyes, when Tony and Bucky approach them. Tony joins their talk, because that's what he is good at. He is good at pretending and at manipulating people into feeling and thinking a certain way about him. It seems to work because everyone loosens up, even Bucky.

Actually Tony finds that quite charming about him. Someone like Stephen is always Another charming point of him. Tony follows him, merely out of curiosity. What's so important that Stephen has to literally pull him away from the others. He can almost feel their curious glances at his back, they are probably dying to know what Stephen wants to tell him, what he has to say that he can't share with anyone else.

Not the kind of into your face attractiveness, but he has intense eyes, fine features, long fingers, athletic body. He is intelligent and charming in his own way. Or he gets it and doesn't care. But I've decided to do something. There is an arm sneaking around his waist, pulling him closer.

Stephen's beard tickles, in a good way. He is not as muscular and strong as Steve, but he is tall. And he smells nice. He automatically blends out the gaping sounds of the people around him. He is good at that. Stephen rolls his eyes, but does what he demands of him. He kisses Tony again, less heated now, but Like a promise, like he wants Tony to know that there is much more to get from him. More and even better stuff.

He sounds very content though, like he honestly enjoyed seeing them making out. He goes for his best poker face. We need to deepen that conversation later on. Tony has to grin. Who knew that Stephen could be such a show off in front of others when he wants them to back off. It is a surprisingly good feeling that he doesn't want any potential rival to get between them.

And no one who might hurt Tony. His glass gets pressed into his hand, and then the soft fabric snuggles against his body.
