The next morning you woke up, a major hangover. You look to the side and see some medicine and orange juice left for you.

Stephen? What happened though..

After taking the necessities for your idiotic choices from last night you slowly got up to look for Stephen. To your surprise you saw him..in the kitchen making you something to eat while wearing a 'kiss the cook' apron you bought when you first got married as a silly attire to wear to be funny. Leaning against the doorway watching, his perfectly combed hair before is now in a mess as it sticks out of place and slightly dangled in front of his face. His eyes looked so focused as he tried to make you your favorite breakfast it made you smile as on the inside you missed seeing him like this.

"You're awake" he says as he stirs your breakfast to make.

"Y-Yeah.." You blush as you hear his husky voice you missed. Awkward silence fills the room though, you really wondered what was going on.

"So..uh..what happened last night?"

"Well..I believe it's better if we discussed it after breakfast Alright?" You started to panic a bit.

Oh no..what did I do?!

"Okay.." you and Stephen start to eat together on the dining table, you start making awkward eye contact at him whilst his eyes remain on his plate.

After breakfast was done, you decided to have it out in the open what happened and what you did wrong. Stephen was doing the dishes as you walk towards him embracing him from behind. His warmth was starting to course through your entire cold body, you couldn't help but close your eyes as you hold him tighter. The smell of his musk mixed with his favorite cologne you liked so much relaxed you a bit as memories of days like this invaded your heart and mind.

"(Y/n)?" He stopped doing the dishes. But you still didn't let go.

"What did I do?"

"You..you were flirting with Stark when I walked inside. I left abruptly and not long after I was home thinking about what happened earlier, you came home a bit drunk from drinking our left out alcohol and then you.." He sighs before continuing.

"You spilled your heart out to me about how you believe me to be only interested in my books rather than you. Then you and I wanted to make love.." He blushes a bit before telling you what happened next.

"Well I mean it's good be made love atleast right? Maybe?" You were nervous about the flirting part but you really hoped something good came out of the argument. You and Stephen finally being one after so long.

"Well we didn't exactly make love per say..well you fell asleep" he whispered the last part so you didn't hear it.

"I What now?"

"You fell asleep.." he blushes a little.

Yours face turned just as red as Stephens did.

Oh my gosh!

No freaking way!

"Damn it!" You slap your face with both of your hands. Stephen flinches at what you had done.

"You mean to tell me that I was finally able to be with you after so long and I..fell..asleep!?" You were so hating yourself right now that you just couldn't look at Stephen anymore.

"Well I was perfectly fine with nothing happening..Id rather-"

"You'd rather be reading your spell books than screw me is that it!?" You cut him off angrily. He was hurt that you'd still think of him that way. If only you knew why he worked himself so much. It was for you.

You walk away angrily heading towards your room, suddenly Stephen somehow was one step ahead of you and now had you pinned up against the wall. Your hands now being held together by his one large hand above your head.

"Now shut up and let me explain without interrupting.. (y/n) please" you grew silent. After a few moments of a stare down you finally nod giving him permission to speak.

"I was about to say is I'd rather we made love whilst you were sober than drunk, I love when you blush remembering all the naughty things we had done the next day, I love hearing you beg and moan for me. Darling I love it all"

Well crap..he's turning me on even now UGH

You squirm trying to pry yourself from Stephen's grasp. All you wanted to do was hide away and calm your now rapid beating heart but his grip was strong indeed.

"I- well I-" you couldn't speak, he's always had that affect on you.

"Memory coming back to you I presume?" He smirks, you look away trying not to give him satisfaction that he was right.

"Not in the slightest" he chuckles darkly. Then leans in your ear.

"Perhaps I should remind you then. Seeing as you did infuriate me when I saw you flirting with Stark" your eyes widen in fear of what he planned to do for your idiocy. You groaned at the thought.

"I-I won't doubt you again so can we just uh.." you try to back out, shocking even to yourself. You wanted Stephen so badly but not when he's mad about earlier eventhough you know he'd never hurt you.

He then let's go of your wrists, you left them up unknowingly. You slowly lay your hands down at your sides, confused as to why he stopped.

"I was working so much because I was planning to surprise you later on.."

"W-What?"

"Well I've been missing out on our time together so I worked extra longer, learning all the spells I can and train myself harder so that even when we are together and I have to go and fight I can always return to you alive"

You place your hands on his neck, slowly making circles with you thumb. He couldn't look at you so you gently pull him in for a soft kiss.

"I'm sorry for what happened with Tony earlier, and I won't doubt that you love me ever again. I love you so much and I will take your word for it that you'll always return to me"

He smiles and holds your hand with his. Leaning his forehead onto your own with a genuine smile on his face.

"I love you too"
