Dinner Discussions

——————

Dinner at the New York Sanctum was always fun. You enjoyed being in the presence of its occupants dearly.

Being the girlfriend of Doctor Stephen Strange wasn’t always easy, but it was moments like these that made it all worth it.

You sat next to Stephen, while Wong and America sat on the other side of the table.

But America was the only one not touching her food, which was odd because the girl was always hungry.

She seemed to be deep in thought about something, and you weren’t the only one who noticed.

“What’s on your mind, kid?” Strange asked, looking up at her with a curious glint in his eyes.

America jumped, seemingly caught off guard, looking at him with wide eyes. She shook her head, looking back down at her plate as she mindlessly played with her food.

“It’s nothing. It’s stupid, really…” She sighed, refusing to look up at anyone.

Wong swallowed the food that was in his mouth and looked over at her.

“Nothing you say will ever be stupid, America.” He said calmly.

“Yeah, there’s nothing you could ever do to make us think you’re stupid!” You chimed in, and she looked up at you.

She took these words in and lulled them over in her head before looking between you and Stephen.

“How do you…know you like someone…?” She suddenly asked, voice quiet and meek.

“Like someone? Like…’like’ like someone?” You asked, brows raised. She didn’t say anything, and just sunk down in her seat while shaking her head.

“How did you guys know you liked each other…?” She piped up, looking between the two of you again.

“Well…” Stephen started.

“It was something that happened over time…but it was also kind of instant? I’d known of Stephen for quite a while before we officially met.” You attempted to explain.

“Well, how did the two of you meet?” America questioned.

“Remember during the fight with Gargantos, when that photographer almost got crushed by a car?” Stephen said.

“That was you?!” America asked you incredulously. Stephen chuckled as your face turned a bright red.

“Well…Yes. My boss would have killed me if I didn’t get coverage of the event…” You said shyly, brushing a piece of hair from your face out of habit.

“We ended up meeting at a bar not too far down the street—and it was completely by chance—he spotted me from across the room and we started talking. We just sort of…clicked, I guess you could say. We ended up getting kind of drunk and he walked me home…”You explained, a small smile creeping up your lips.

“And you don’t need to know the rest.” Stephen concluded. America looked at him confused, before she looked between you two and got the idea.

“Gross!” She cringed, and everyone at the table started laughing.

“What about you, Wong?” America turned her attention to the quiet man.

“Me? What makes you think I have any knowledge about that?” He feigned ignorance, taking a long sip from his cup.

“You know…Master Wolfe?” She prodded.

“My relationship with the late master was strictly professional.” Wong stated firmly.

“That’s odd, I’m sure I caught the two of you sharing a kiss in the broom closet—“

“Okay! Okay. You don’t have to air out all of my secrets, Strange.”

Stephen laughed at his friend’s embarrassment. But Wong’s face didn’t falter, he remained stoic and professional.

“It started out as a mutual friendship. We would agree on many things and had parallel opinions on the Mystic Arts. But there was a moment where I saw her in a new light. She was this…Amazing woman with such wonderful talent in the Mystic Arts. She was funny, and amazing at keeping conversation. Things just…Clicked, like Y/n said.”

“Is…there a reason you’re asking, America?” You ask, scanning her face once again.

Suddenly her eyes widened, and she sunk back into her chair with a growing red face.

“You asked us, you can at least tell us why you’re asking.” Wong chuckled, noticing her embarrassment.

“Okay, so maybe there’s…This girl…” America said after a few minutes of silence.

“When did you meet her?” Stephen inquired, his interest piqued.

“A couple weeks ago…We met at the park while she was drawing. I thought her art was really cool and so I told her and we started talking…And now she wants to meet up at this pizza place nearby and I just have this weird feeling in my stomach? Like, I don’t know how to describe it but it’s just weird and I don’t know what it means.” She explained, refusing to look at anyone.

“That’s called a crush, America. It’s totally normal. I felt the same when I first met Stephen.” You said with a smile, and she finally looked up at you.

Stephen had this odd look on his face. It wasn’t anger or confusion, but it was an odd sort of happiness that you definitely noticed.

“Stephen…? You okay…?” You asked suspiciously, finding his hand under the table as you take it in your own.

“Oh, yeah. I’m fine. It’s just…You’re growing up so fast. You’ve improved so much since we first met and I’m proud of you. It’s good to see you getting comfortable in this universe, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable.” He explained, giving your hand a soft squeeze.

America smiled, looking at Stephen with a sense of belonging.

This was her found family, and she wouldn’t trade this for the world. She looked up to Stephen like he was the father she never had. She liked it in this universe, and she will do anything to protect it.

Contemporary Love

Established relationship, minor jealousy, mainly fluff

F!reader

———

“America!” Stephen called, his voice echoing off the walls of the sanctum. “Are you almost ready? We’re going to be late!”

He paused outside of her bedroom door, arms crossed as he continues to check his watch.

“Almost! Give me a second!” The teenager replied.

Wong appeared from around the corridor, brushing off his suit jacket as he walked.

“This thing has been collecting dust for years. Never thought I’d need it again.” Wong sighed, stopping in front of Stephen.

“You look good. Never thought I’d see you dress in formal wear. Didn’t think the Sorcerer Supreme had time for such events.” Stephen said with a cheeky smile.

“Everything seems to be running smoothly, no thanks to you.” Wong chuckled, still messing with his suit that seemed to be a little too tight.

The door opened to reveal America dressed in a simple black dress with appropriate shoes and a coat.

“You know I’m only doing this for Y/N. She’s been looking forward to this for months.” She huffed, brushing a stray piece of hair that didn’t catch in her updo.

“Isn’t that why we’re all going?” Wong questioned, as the trio began to walk towards the main entrance.

“No, Stephen also just wants an excuse to see Y/N in a skin-tight dress.” America quipped.

Stephen choked on his own breath, looking down at America before lightly smacking the back of her head.

“That is not why I’m going. Stop being inappropriate.” Stephen scolded. America had a cheeky grin on her face as she rubbed the back of her head. Wong chuckled at her antics.

Stephen opened a portal to the entrance of the Recital Center, before they all stepped through. There was a bit of a line that mostly consisted of adults with a few accompanied by children.

There were lots of stares coming from the crowd as the three appeared, the portal closing behind them. Stephen reached into his breast pocket before pulling out three tickets.

He gave one each to Wong and America, who held them gingerly. They stepped to the end of the line before people returned to their own lives.

There were many whispers throughout the crowd but beyond that nothing was out of the ordinary.

The line quickly began to move, and within the next thirty minutes, the trio was able to get inside and take their seats.

There was a lot of people around them, all chattering and shouting at each other from different rows. America sat in the middle between Wong and Stephen, so she pulled out her new phone and began scrolling.

“Y/N just posted a picture back stage! Check it out!” America perked up, turning the phone to Stephen.

On the phone was a picture of you with your dance partner, both wearing white coverups over your costumes. Your friend had you in a side embrace, with your hand against his chest.

Part of Stephen’s heart pinched with jealousy seeing you so close to another man. But he smiled through it nonetheless before he got to the description of the photo.

‘Can’t believe today’s the day! So excited to perform with this handsome man! Nerves are definitely kicking in, but we’re both hyping each other up!’

Another pinch at his heart, but Stephen felt like he was being ridiculous. You could have male friends that aren’t him. You gave him no incentive to believe you would ever cheat on him, so there was no reason to be jealous, right?

Back stage, you put away your phone as you continued blending out your makeup.

“I wonder if Stephen and everyone is here yet…?” You breathe shakily, the nerves beginning to get to you.

“I’m sure they’re here. They wouldn’t miss this for the world, yeah? Besides, you know your little magic man would never miss a chance to see you practically naked!” Travis perked up, nudging your arm jokingly.

“Oh, come on, Travis. He’s not that shallow. Besides, you’re practically naked too!” You called out with a smile.

Travis ran his hands down his sides while looking in the mirror.

“And I look good!” He laughed, adding a bit more powder to his face to hide the light sweat.

“Besides, you picked this song because it reminds you of him!”

“He’s not the type of man to listen to this kind of music, so I doubt he’ll even notice.” You sighed, completing your look.

“Well, the point is for you to dance to the song, not just show it to him. I’m sure he’ll love it!” Travis reassured you with a gentle smile.

Travis has been your dance partner for the last five years, and you knew practically everything about each other. You knew him before his transition, and have always been there for him when things got rough.

You were glad to have him as a dance partner because you probably couldn’t trust anyone else with your stunts and music interests.

You both began to stretch as the first performance starts. You whisper many ‘break a leg’s to the performers as they left the room.

Stephen wasn’t a stranger to performances like these, as he frequented a lot of performing arts performances during college and his years as a surgeon.

The lights were dim as you and your dance partner walked out on stage gracefully. Stephen sat up in his seat as a smile appeared across his lips at the sight of you.

The music began as you both went into your beginning poses. The song is slow and delicate, much like your dance moves as you glide gracefully across the stage.

The way you stretched your arms up and down so beautifully showcased your skill and talent of contemporary dance.

There was something so intimate about the way you danced with your partner, Stephen couldn’t help but imagine himself in his place.

He longed to hold you so closely in front of everyone to see, to solidify the fact that you were his and he was yours.

Your leaps and turns were as smooth as silk as you perform, and he couldn’t help but take in the lyrics of the song along with your moves.

Stephen saw you as a goddess worthy of worship. He would give his very life if it meant that the two of you could be together forever.

Seeing you dance gave him so much joy, as you work so hard and practice almost every day to be the best you could ever be. It was something you enjoyed doing, and that was enough for him.

You slip into your partner’s arms in the final pose of the dance, as the music gently fades away. The lights finally dim once more as your performance comes to an end.

The applause began, as Stephen took to his feet along with Wong and America. For a second Stephen thought he’d caught a tear in Wong’s eyes, but he quickly wiped it away.

All that was left to do now was wait for the final bow and you would be free to join them.

They waited patiently until they saw you again along with all of the performers as they take their final bow.

They eased their way through the crowd to meet up with you as you make your way out of the front door.

“Y/N! You were so great!” America immediately shouted, running up behind you to give you a big hug. You smiled as you hugged the teenager back, your eyes meeting with Stephen and Wong.

“Wonderful performance, Y/N. That’s the kind of grace we look for at Kamar-taj.” Wong complimented with a smile, putting a hand on your shoulder after America stepped away.

“Thank you.” You said, before taking gentle steps towards Stephen. Your lips curved upwards as you met his eyes, eager to hear what he thought of your performance.

Like the show off he is, Stephen made a bouquet of flowers appear out of thin air as he gently handed them to you with a smile of his own.

“You were wonderful, my love. I’ve never seen a finer performance than yours.” He said gently, taking your hand in his.

“Oh shut up,” you playfully pushed him, “You’ve seen better and I know you have!”

“But this performance was by you, and nothing compares to your talent.”

Your cheeks flush a bright red at his words, sinking against his strong body with a big smile.

“Thank you, Stephen…” You hummed, taking in his cologne as it messed with your head.

Stephen pulled you into a gentle kiss, and you gladly accepted.

“Ok, this is getting gross. We’re gunna head back to the sanctum now.” America cringed, but deep down she was happy for you because you were happy.

“Okay! See you guys tomorrow? I’ll bring dinner!” You suggested, as both America and Wong lit up at the mention of food.

“Perfect. See you tomorrow,

Y/N!” Wong replied eagerly, before creating a portal back to the sanctum.

“Shall we take this back to my place?” You whispered against his lips, running a hand down his chest.

“Yes, please…” He agreed all too soon, before the both of you pulled away from each other.

The two of you got into your car, opting for you to drive because Stephen has yet to get behind the wheel since his accident.

Down the road, Stephen placed his hand on your upper thigh.

“That song…Were you thinking about me when you chose it?” Stephen asked softly. Another blush crept to your cheeks as your hands tighten around the wheel.

“Yes…I didn’t think you’d notice, actually. I thought of you as I danced, imagining it was you…” You admitted gently. Another smile spread across Stephen’s face as he looked at you.

You didn’t dare look back, knowing you’d get far too distracted if you did.

You arrived at your apartment, as the two of you quickly walked through the door.

Immediately after the door shut, you threw yourself at Stephen, pressing him against the back of the door in a heated kiss.

He quickly reciprocated, placing his hands at your waist. Tongues quickly caressed each other as the kiss heated up between the two of you.

Stephen never made it back to the sanctum that night…
