Outsider/civilian POV on Tony and Stephen being together.
Filled by @god-doesnt-talk-to-us(deactivated)
The moment that Iron Man - Tony Stark - and Doctor Strange - Stephen Strange - appeared on the sidewalk outside the diner was also the moment that Henry realized that he had to be dreaming. He moved his eyes from the window and back to Benjamin who was sat across from him.
Henry gestured toward the pair of men on the street. “Dude, they’re here.”
Benjamin looked up from his phone and looked out the window. He looked back at Henry and continued to look at his phone. “That’s nice, baby.”
Henry huffed. “Nice? It’s fucking awesome. They’re literally the best superheroes!”
“You only think that because they’re together,” Benjamin replied. “If Captain America had a boy toy you’d think he was the best.” Henry was on the verge of responding when the door swung open and a small bell chimed through the room.
The two men walked to an empty booth only a few steps from Henry and Benjamin’s own, and Henry held back a gasp. “That’s not true, and you know it!” he hissed.
Henry watched as a waiter took the pair’s order and promised to bring them their drinks. He took a drink from his own sweet tea, his eyes blown wide. “I can’t believe they’re here,” Henry whispered.
Benjamin placed his phone down on the table and sighed. He rested his arm on the back of the booth seat and turned toward Stephen and Tony. He cleared his throat. “Hey, my boyfriend is a huge nerd when it comes to you guys; do you mind if he gets a picture? He’s too scared to ask himself,” Benjamin said. Henry gritted his teeth and gave Benjamin a fake smile.
“As long as it doesn’t bother you guys or interrupt your meal, er…date? Fuck, are you guys on a date? Shit, I’m so sorry, forget what he said, just ignore us and go about your, uh, lives,” Henry spit out in a hurry.
Stephen turned to look at Tony and smiled. “What do you think, babe?”
Tony shrugged. “I think it’s obligatory to support our fellow LGBTs, Stephen. He turned to look at the pair of boys and grinned. “I’d love to take a picture with you. I’m not sure you want one with Mr. Serious-At-All-Times over here,” he gestured to Stephen.
Henry looked between the two of them and stuttered. “Uh, uh, uh…” He took a deep breath. “Mr. Dr. Strange, of course I’d want one with you too, uh.”
Stephen and Benjamin shared a look while Tony chuckled.
Henry stood up, the hand holding the phone visibly shook.
“You guys are literally my favorite people ever. When you guys came out I cried tears of joy for days, just ask Ben,” Henry pointed at Benjamin.
“Anything gay makes him emotional. I’ve learned to get used to it,” Benjamin replied.
Tony broke out into laughter and shook his head. “I told you I wasn’t the only one,” he said to Stephen.
