I'm not going to tell you the main lines of the character that is the great Stephen Strange, you all know how he is. But do you think he is able to swallow his arrogant side and his pride to please the woman he loves with all his heart on his birthday? Well yes, he has the skills and the will, he was going to be gentle and passionate with her.
It has never been easy for him to express his feelings and fight his fears every day, whether in friendship or in love. Luckily, Christine showed him a completely different version of companion life. Neither one is perfect, each has its faults and its qualities. And tonight, for Christine's birthday, Stephen wanted to impress her on such a special day.
Some evenings when Stephen returns from his mystical missions, he is tired, injured and dirty. However, this does not prevent Christine, after a long day at the hospital, from waiting for him and being there to welcome him in her arms when he returns home. No matter what state he was in, she loved him. She was there for him, but also to kiss him, cuddle him, reassure him, feed him, massage him... Stephen ended up wanting to do the same to him, in his own way, even if he had never done before. That is, to think about the well-being of someone other than himself.
Nothing could be hidden from Stephen like Christine’s birthday. Over time, he’d learned things she really liked, like a coconut cupcake. It was a rather peculiar mix but Stephen was not going to waste time on this reflection, he just wanted to make her happy. Christine is a very social person, so she has a nice list of friends, but that night Stephen only wanted her for him. Just him and her.
Stephen returned from his mission much earlier than usual, he didn't really give Wong or the other teachers a choice. He had a goal in mind and he intends to achieve it, even if he were to receive a whole type of remark the next day.
Conversely, Christine had been coming home for a few weeks very late at night. The hospital didn’t give her a moment’s respite, sometimes she stayed there. Stephen could not blame her, he knew what it was like to have overtime as a doctor but also as a hero. Fortunately for him, Christine’s colleagues were ready to take over despite the crisis so that she could fully enjoy her birthday.
A few hours later…
- Christine came at the moment of return to the sanctuary, depositing her keys and her bag as usual at the entrance. « My body won't last long- » Before she finished her sentence, her attention went to the living room. There was light.
- « Stephen ? » It was unlikely that it was him, it was still too early. Her questions will end when she feels big hands coming from behind that will then settle on her waist.
- « I'm here, my love. » He put his chin on her shoulder and leaned his body against hers, slightly amused by the situation.
- Christine was surprised, almost speechless to see him here. Not that she wasn't happy to see him, it was a nice surprise. « What are you doing here at this hour ? Doesn't the world need you to save it ? » She asked happily.
- « Aren't you happy to see me ? And to answer your second question, the world will be waiting because I have someone to impress and make happy tonight. » While his hands held her tightly, they didn't shake, surprisingly.
- « I am very happy to have you for me much earlier than usual. Tell me, who is this person who deserves all this attention from you ? » For now, Christine remains in the position where she felt safe and at peace, that is to say in the arms of her husband.
- « She's in my arms. » Stephen was calm, he was confident. He had taken the time to prepare this evening with care and attention and he was eager to show it to her.
Christine does not answer Stephen in words. Raising her hands from her waist, she turns around to face him. And in another gesture, she will come slowly to kiss him. Having her all night was more than enough for her as a birthday present. What Christine didn’t know was that Stephen knew about this special day.
Stephen will in turn respond to his kiss, putting his hands on his waist and amplifying the embrace of their body. They smiled like two children, they were happy and that was the main thing.
- Then Stephen slowly steps back and looks into his eyes. « I’d like you to do something for me tonight. See you in the bathroom in a few minutes. » He’ll get closer to his pillow and whisper a few words. « I’ve prepared a little something for your birthday. See you soon, my love. »
Christine had a slight chill when he approached her to say a few words. She was slightly surprised to know that he knew about her birthday but after a few minutes of reflection, it was obvious, it was the great Doctor Stephen Strange, nothing could escape her.
Everyone on his side was getting ready, and Stephen began to feel stress and fear. His hands were shaking, but he remained confident. Christine on her side was impatient and happy. She knows very well that he is doing everything he can to fight against himself and tonight was going to be a good proof that he would pass over his fears.
A few minutes later…
- Christine was the first to be ready, as requested, she headed for their bathroom with a towel around her waist. Light let show itself from under the door, without a word Christine will open it and enter the room. What was in front of her was almost a dream, Stephen had prepared a bubble bath with lots of candles all around. She couldn't help but observe all the details that her husband had prepared in this room. Then she removes her towel from the waist to settle gently in the tub. « It's impossible, I feel like I'm dreaming… » Her body began to feel the benefits of the heat of the bath, her eyes accompany her on her way to sleep.
- « And here is something that is against the laws of nature… » Stephen's voice was still from across the room. He will gently push the door ajar and go inside. He had only a towel around his waist and brought as promised a cupcake accompanied by a small candle.
Christine still had her eyes closed but she smiled when she heard his voice, the bubble bath had completely allowed her to relax. Stephen had managed to make an impression with this surprise, it was only the beginning.
- Stephen closes the door with his foot and approaches his wife. He smiled when he saw her completely rested in the bath, it was one of his goals tonight and he had succeeded. « A coconut cupcake, your favorite. » By stooping, Stephen will come and hand it to him.
- Opening her eyes, she couldn’t help but smile even more. Stephen cooking, he certainly helped himself with his magic or maybe not, it was the most important gesture. « You really outdid yourself tonight, my love. » She takes the food and is going to come and watch it for a while. “I felt a little judgment in your voice about choosing this mix, you know, you should try it, I’m sure you’ll love it. »
- Stephen will come to get rid of his towel and will join Christine shortly after in the bath in front of her. « Oh, you know, at this point in my life, I know what I love. » After his words, he installs his legs along the bathtub, of course leaving room for his wife.
- From the corner of her eye, she watched him take off his only garment, she was really spoiled tonight. Once he’s settled in, Christine will blow out the candle and get as close as possible to Stephen, always holding the cake in her hands. « And if I put the frosting somewhere… » With one of her fingers, she’ll come and get some frosting and look at Stephen with a smile on her face. « Interesting ? » In passing to apply the cream on her stroke, she has not left her eyes.
- Stephen was silent for a few seconds, toying with his gaze between Christine and the cream on her neck. He liked the fact that she was challenging him, it wasn't the first time she had done it. « It is unfair... »
Christine had a smile on her ears, she was particularly proud to see him in this posture. Placing the cake on one of the windowsills near the bathtub, she will then gently approach him and offer him access to his neck.
- Stephen understands what she expects of him and he will carry out her request. Once close enough, Stephen stops a few inches before putting his lips to her skin. The hair of his beard tickled Christine, his body couldn't help reacting. « Are you all right, my love ? » His voice rings soft and strong.
Christine won't answer, instead she'll continue to smile in her corner and bring her neck closer so that Stephen's lips can rest there. Once done, she will close her eyes to enjoy this sweet moment, her hand resting on her husband's shoulder.
- His lips came to collect every inch of the frosting, Stephen took the time to apply the gesture gently and carefully. « Mmh..Okay, maybe I judged this perfume a little too quickly. » After a few words, he will drop a light kiss on her neck, then pull back to be face to face with his wife.
- « See, I told you. » Still smiling, she will hold Stephen's face with both hands, stroking him lightly and then her hands will go behind his back to continue the caresses. She could feel through his gesture how relaxed his shoulders were.
- Stephen kept staring at Christine, his hands had captured her waist so he could keep her close, he didn't want to lose her. « Happy birthday, honey. » Then he rested his forehead against hers, enjoying the caresses and the moment with her.
- Christine happily accepted Stephen's gesture, resting her forehead against his. « Stephen, what you did tonight is... indescribable. Nobody until this evening had taken the time to give me this kind of gift. »
- Stephen will recover slowly, meeting his gaze. « I would then be the first and the last to have given you this gift. No one will make you leave my arms and my heart. » Then, before giving Christine the opportunity to answer, Stephen will come and gently capture her lips.
Christine will raise her hand to his face, responding to his kiss. This kiss was all sweetness and passion, the perfect reflection of the love he had for each other.
Stephen will leave one hand around his waist, the other will land against his cheek. Everyone had their eyes closed, enjoying warmth, love, silence and serenity. Until today, they had very little time just for themselves, so Stephen had succeeded in his mission.
- « I love you. » She said through the kiss, she couldn't help but smile on her lips. One of his hands will come to free one of her locks, leaving her beautiful face in front of her.
- « Me too, but more than you. » Stephen speaks his words once he pulls back from the kiss.
- « I'm going to let you win this game tonight, exceptionally of course. » Christine is going to put foam on Stephen's nose. He reacted by closing his eyes directly.
- « I'm going to keep showing you that I'm right about this. » Stephen gets up directly from the tub, holding Christine in her arms through the movement. He had put a lot of water outside the tub during the move, but it didn't matter, he'd clean up later.
- « Stephen ! » She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and placed her head against his bare chest.
- With a quick gesture with his fingers, Stephen makes appear on him and Christine a bath towel, he did not want her to catch cold. « Let’s go to bed now. »
- « That's a good proposal, my hero. » Christine didn't change her position, she was too well settled in Stephen's arms. She felt through her ear his heartbeat, which was quite stable, he knew what he was doing.
Once in the bedroom, Stephen gently puts Christine into their bed. He lets her into her night clothes, and he was going to do the same. Once the clothes are put on, Stephen goes to meet his wife near the bed, she had fallen asleep. The benefits of the bath and the time spent with it had completely helped him to be soothed and relaxed.
He settles down slowly, without waking her by his gesture. Stephen will put his legs and hands around her body and keep her close to him. During her sleep, she will come to let herself go in the warmth of her arms. Stephen had achieved his goal, making his wife happy and giving her the best birthday present.
