Hope you'll enjoy=)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every birthday is special as every human being is unique in its own way. Today was your day and you intended to spend it with the love of your life: Stephen Strange.

Soft sunrays set down on your closed eyelids and you fluttered your eyes open, the sunlight highlighting the true colour of your pupils which always made Stephen's heart skip a beat. Your eyes were one of the things he liked the most, among other things of course. You groaned at the sunny alarm as Stephen's arm was wrapped around you, holding you lovingly in his embrace.

« Rise and shine, love » said Stephen in a hoarse and sleepy voice, kissing your neck gently. You hummed against him, snuggling into his chest further.

« I'm perfectly good where I am, Stephen » you stated, nuzzling your head into his neck.

His chuckle sent vibrations through his body which sent shivers down your spine. He grabbed your waist as he stood up, pulling you on his lap at the same time. You hummed in delight while Stephen muttered under his breath « My little koala ». You laughed at the nickname and pecked his lips.

« Now, birthday girl would you go change, please ? » he asked gently, stroking your hair.

A smirk enlightened your features.

« Why ? »

He kissed your forehead.

« That's a surprise. »

You squealed in delight and rushed out of the bed, kicking the blanket under the bewildered gaze of Stephen. You arrived in the bathroom and wondered about what you should wear when your eyes caught off a beautiful dress set on the bathroom door. You blinked at the true beauty the black dress was. You took it gently, noticing the soft material the fabric was made of silk and looked in the mirror, the dress hanging in front of your body. You then noticed the little note at the top of the cloth and read it aloud: « For my favourite woman in the world ». You giggled at the note and immediately put the dress on. You looked at the reflection of yourself in the mirror, admiring how the dress curves your body, how beautiful you looked in it and you bit your lip in excitement. You put on some makeup to highlight your face, especially your lips and got out of the bathroom. You expected to see Stephen but he was nowhere to be seen. You scanned the room, raising an eyebrow until you noticed the small white paper folded in the bed. You sat down on the bed and grabbed the piece of paper. «Ready? Now meet me in the room where we first met »

You smiled, getting up and walking in the sanctum, rushing to the room of artefacts. When you reached the place, you instantly spotted him near the window, gazing at the crowd.

You admired his elfin features, the way his eyes got lost in the continuity of life activities, his sharp jaw glistening at the sunrays and the cloak moulding perfectly his body.

« Stephen ? » you asked, stepping closer to the sorcerer.

He turned towards you, a smile tugging at his kissable lips. His blue eyes sparkled in delight once he saw the way you look, and a small blush covered his cheeks, unbeknownst to your eyes.

« You look exquisite, my dear » he announced, smiling widely.

« Thank you, Stephen, you're not so bad yourself, as usual. » you giggled as he kissed your knuckles like a true gentleman.

« Will you follow me, please ? » he pleaded, opening a portal at the same time.

You looked at him a bit puzzled by all this mysterious mood. However, you trusted him with all your heart and so, you nodded. A genuine smile lightened his features, true happiness shining in his cerulean blue eyes. You took his extended hand and followed him in the unknown adventure while his usual outfit changed into a beautiful black suit. The Cloak led the way, entering in a luxurious tower. The relic opened doors for you, gently gliding its extremities on your arm in a gentle caress and you smiled at the gesture. Strangely, the place seemed familiar and what was your surprise when as the Cloak opened the final door, a burst of cheers and « happy birthday » from the Avengers welcomed you. You gasped, a wave of joy overwhelming you and you tuned brightly at Stephen: 

"Thank you" you muttered kissing him lovingly.

This was the beginning of a beautiful birthday, with the man you loved at your side and your friends at the other. That was all you could wish for, or perhaps, was it more?
