Peter eyed Wanda suspiciously as she talked to Stephen.
She came over so Stephen could teach her some magic, since he had offered, but Wanda looked like she didn’t care about the lessons and was getting touchy with Stephen who was oblivious to the fact that she was flirting with him.
Tony would’ve lost his shit if he saw this. This… this was bad! Wanda was being a home wrecker!
Well… unless she had no idea that Tony and Stephen were together.
They were keeping their relationship a private thing, so it could be a possibility that she had no idea…
Peter thought for a bit, looking at the floor as he debated his next move.
He should tell Tony, and Tony would come over and kiss Stephen until Wanda got the hint.
Or… Peter could tell Wanda off and,-
“You have really nice eyes, Stephen..”
Peter’s head shot up and he glared at the pair that was unaware of his presence.
Wanda had her hand on Stephen’s wrist.
Stephen still looked oblivious.
“Thank you.”
“So uh… are you doing anything anything later this week?”
“I don’t think so. Why?”
“I was thinking I could come over and you can teach me more magic. I enjoy having you as my teacher.”
Peter’s mouth hung open in shock. She was totally hitting on his dad! Right in front of him too!
The pure audacity of some people, jeez.
Well…. Peter was hiding in the kitchen that had a clear view of were they were standing.
“I’d love to teach you more magic. Maybe I can teach you how to open portals.”
“Sounds great! I have to get going now though!”
“Here, I’ll open a portal for you.”
“Aw, thank you!”
Peter glared at them while Stephen opened a portal up for Wanda.
Wanda smiled at him.
They talked for a few more minutes, before Wanda leaned up to kiss Stephen’s cheek.
Peter almost ran over and pushed her into the portal.
She was a home wrecker! Tony didn’t deserve this!
Wanda stepped through, and Stephen placed his hand on the cheek Wanda had kissed.
“Huh.”
Stephen mumbled softly. He turned around and headed for the kitchen.
When he got there, Peter had his arms crossed with a frown on his face.
“Is something wrong, Peter?”
“Yes.”
“And that is?”
“WANDA!”
Stephen flinched.
“What about Wanda?”
“She was clearly flirting with you!”
“Flirting? No. She was just being friendly.”
“She kissed your cheek.”
“…. Do friends not do that?”
“Dad, I get you’ve been gone for like a year, but like… she was clearly flirting.”
Stephen’s eyes went wide as he thought.
That would explain all the random times she would touch him.
Like his shoulder, wrist, hand, and so on.
Oh no.
This wasn’t good.
“She was flirting…”
“Duh!”
“I….”
Stephen turned around, opened a portal and stepped through while Peter asked him all sorts of questions.
The portal closed, and Stephen looked around a certain mechanic’s lab.
“Stephen?”
Stephen turned around and was face to face with Tony who lifted his lab goggles up.
Stephen ran into his arms, and he held the mechanic close. Tony wrapped his arms around Stephen and inhaled the sorcerers scent.
“Why the sudden visit?”
“I missed you.”
He felt guilty.
He had no idea Wanda was flirting, and he just allowed her too.
He… he had to tell Tony!
But what if Tony left him?
The thought made Stephen’s heart ache.
“Hun, somethings clearly bothering you. Just spill it.”
“I… apparently someone’s been flirting with me and I didn’t notice until Peter told me… I’m sorry Tony, please don’t leave,-“
Tony pulled Stephen in for a soft kiss. Stephen gasped softly.
When they pulled away, Tony caressed Stephen’s cheek softly. Stephen looked down and held onto Tony’s wrist.
Much like how Wanda had done to him.
“Are you really that oblivious, Doc?”
“I just thought… she was being friendly..”
“Did you flirt back?”
“No… I didn’t.”
“I’m not mad, love.”
Tony buried his face into Stephen’s neck. He pulled the sorcerer closer by his hips.
“Thanks for telling me.”
“I didn’t want you to leave me.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it.”
Stephen smiled softly.
Tony pulled away to brush Stephen’s hair back. Stephen leaned into his touch, humming softly.
“Who was it anyway? I wanna keep an eye on them.”
Oh god.
Stephen didn’t want Tony to hate Wanda. Sure, she flirted and what not, but that didn’t mean she deserved whatever Tony was planning.
“Tony… I don’t want you to,-“
“I won’t do anything. I’m just keeping an eye on them.”
“Wanda…”
Tony let out a long exhale, before he pulled Stephen close again.
Stephen wrapped his arms around Tony’s neck.
They stood there in silence, just holding onto each other before Tony finally spoke up.
“I don’t want you giving her lessons anymore.”
Stephen’s eyes went wide.
“Tony,-“
“She’ll only think you like her.”
“We need to tell everyone we’re together.”
“What will that solve?”
“Why are you keeping me a secret?”
The question made Tony flinch.
He wasn’t keeping Stephen a secret. He wanted to let the whole world know that Stephen was his.
He just didn’t think the sorcerer was ready.
“I thought you didn’t want people to know I’m yours.”
“I do. It’ll probably get the fangirls off your dick as well.”
“Where did you learn these naughty words?”
Tony asked playfully.
Rolling his eyes, Stephen kissed Tony’s head before opening a portal up.
“I gotta go, my love. I promised Peter we would spend time together. I’ll let everyone know I’m yours.”
Stephen stepped through, the portal closed, and Stephen walked around to try and find Peter.
He soon found the boy in the living room, flipping through the different channels.
“Hi dad.”
He said, eyes glued to the tv. Stephen sat next to him. He waved his hand and was soon in much more comfortable clothes.
“How did it go with mister Stark?”
“He understood. I think it’s time for us to go public, though.”
“I still can’t believe you didn’t know she was flirting. Like… like… she kissed you!”
“Don’t remind me…”
“I feel bad for Wanda. Ever since vision died she seems… lonely.”
“I think that’s why she enjoys my company so much.”
“Yeah… a little too much.”
Peter burst out into laughter as Stephen pinched the bridge of his nose.
Having a teenage son was certainly… something. Was it bad? Yes. But it was also fun in away.
“Ahhh. I wonder who else secretly has a crush on you.”
“Just her, I’m guessing.”
“Mmmm…. Hers isn’t a secret. She’s obvious about it.”
Stephen shook his head and actually laughed.
He and Peter ended up talking about crushes, which led to love spells, which led to a debate about whether it was creepy fo cast a love spell on someone.
The day ended with Peter knocking out on the couch as they watched a random movie that came on.
It didn’t take long for Steohen to fall asleep either.
This was nice.
