Day 4: good 4 u
Supreme Strange x Male Reader
I am SO sorry this is late, my sweet duckies. It’s finals and I am dying, but I will make it up to you today, scouts honor.
Stepping up to the mic of the small club, Y/N spoke, "Is this thing on? Testing, testing. Your mom’s a slut and so is your gal."
There was a roar of outraged laughter at that, causing the musician to grin mischievously.
"Sorry couldn't resist. And I’m kiddin’, boys. Gayer than a unicorn shitting rainbows at a Pride Parade, I'm afraid,” he admitted as he sent a flirty wink to the men seated right in front of him. "So, how is everyone tonight? Obviously, not well, considering the fact you're here rather than literally anywhere else.”
Waiting for the laughter to die down, Y/N double checked that his electric guitar was properly tuned.
“Honestly. Same. I've been havin' the shittiest month I've had in years and that's saying something. Especially when you take into consideration barely scraping by to get into college after your homophobic assholes of parents kick your cute ass to the curb."
There were groans and tuts of sympathy.
“Yeah, my boyfriend broke up with me. In the worst way imaginable. And no, I don't mean over text, although he might as well have. You know what the asshole did?"
…
“Steph! Baby I'm back!" Y/N yelled as he slammed the door shut with his foot. He came into the front room of the tiny apartment he shared with his boyfriend of three years, Stephen Strange, a med student who was hellbent on becoming a neurosurgeon at any cost. What Y/N stumbled upon made him wish he'd paid more attention to that little red flag.
Stephen's lab partner, Christine Palmer was hurriedly readjusting her shirt, while Stephen calmly sat there with lipstick all over his mouth and his shirt half undone.
"What the actual fuck, Strange! " Y/N yelled as he dropped the groceries.
“We're over, Y/N,” the other stated coldly.
“I'm sorry. I just violently hallucinated. What?"
"I said, we're over. It was fun, but I've lost interest,” Stephen said, face void of any emotion.
...
The crowd bellowed their displeasure.
“Right? Jesus Christ, what a prick. So, I figured I'd perform a little something for you all. Get it off my chest,” Jack explained. “Stephen Strange, I'd say kiss my ass, but I wouldn't let you touch you with a thirty- nine-and-a-half-foot pole. This is for you, asshole.”
With a middle finger thrown high in the air, Y/N began to play his pain.
"Well good for you, I guess you moved on really easily
You found a new girl and it only took a couple weeks
Remember when you said that you wanted to give me the world?
(Ah-ah-ah-ah)
And good for you, I guess that you've been working on yourself
I guess that therapist I found for you, she really helped
Now you can be a better man for your brand new girl.”
…
"Hey babe, how was class?" Y/N asked as he looked up from his textbook at the sound of Stephen coming home.
“Horrible,” the med student groaned. Collapsing onto the couch with his head on Y/N's lap, he wrapped his arms around the artist’s waist and started to trace abstract shapes on his hip.
"Poor thing," he cooed, combing his fingers through Stephen's thick, dark hair.
“Love you, starlight,” Stephen murmured.
…
"Well good for you, you look happy and heathy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you
You're doing great out there without me, baby
God, I wish that I could do that
I've lost my mind
I've spent the night cryin' on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you."
As Y/N sang, angry, bitter tears began to trail down his cheeks.
What had he done wrong? Why had Stephen been so damn cold? Where had they gone wrong? He had thought they were happy, Stephen had acted so happy. What the fuck was with the sudden one-eighty? Nothing made any sense anymore.
"Well good for you, I guess you're getting everything you want
You bought a new car and your career’s really taking off
It's like we never even happened, baby
What the fuck is up with that?
And good for you, it's like you never even met me
Remember when you swore to God I was the only
Person who ever got you?
Well, screw that, and screw you
You will never have to hurt the way you know that I do!"
…
"I swear to God, everyone in that class is an idiot," Stephen snarled as he stormed out of his advanced biology class.
Y/N chased after him with his skateboard in hand, hoping to placate the other before he got to his next class.
"Or, maybe you just need to move to a higher class?" Y/N suggested, wrapping an arm around the taller man's waist and nuzzling into his shoulder.
Freezing in the middle of the hallway, Stephen mulled over his words.
"You're a genius, sweetheart,” he announced, dropping a kiss on top of his head. "I'll see you at home, I’m gonna be late. Love you!"
“Love you too!”
…
"Well good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you
You're doing great out there without me, baby
God I wish I could do that
I've lost my mind
I've spent the night cryin’ on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so un affected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you!"
…
Shifting uncomfortably from foot to foot. Y/N knocked on the door of his once apartment, wishing he was anywhere but here. Christine answered, and she looked startled.
“Oh. Um, Y/N. Hi," she greeted awkwardly.
"Stuff the small talk, Palmer. I'm just here for my shit," he snarled frigidly, pushing past the redhead and heading towards the bedroom.
Tears pricked his eyes for the umpteenth time that week when he saw every last one of his possessions had been packed into boxes and were clearly waiting for him to take them.
“He really couldn't wait to get rid of me,” Y/N thought, heart breaking all over again.
"Um I can help you carry your things. If you'd like?” Christine offered softly from the doorway.
"It's fine, I can carry it in one trip. You won't have to see me again.”
…
“Maybe I'm too emotional
But your apathy is like a wound in salt
Maybe I’m too emotional
Or maybe you never cared at all
Maybe I'm too emotional
Your apathy is like a wound in salt
Maybe I’m too emotional
Maybe you never caved at all!"
Y/N never felt more liberated as he told the whole club about his pain and heartache. Yeah, leaving Columbia after fighting so hard to get in sucked like a bitch, but he would be able to start again. He wouldn't have been able to with the constant threat of running into Stephen.
"Well , good for you, you look happy and healthy
Not me, if you ever cared to ask
Good for you, you're doing great out there without me, baby
Like a damn sociopath!
I’ve lost my mind,
I’ve spent the night cryin’ on the floor of my bathroom
But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it
But I guess good for you!
Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily.”
Y/N grinned as he reveled in the screams of approval from the crowd.
Things were gonna be okay.
