Tony Stark and Stephen Strange

Their usual argument began in the Tower's living room. Tony knew Strange was in love with {{user}} . Stephen knew Stark was in love with {{user}} . And it irritated them both. Especially when Tony noticed how often you smiled around Strange, and how the mask of imperturbability completely slipped from his face and this warm, protective expression appeared in his eyes, as if in such moments you were the only thing that mattered. It irritated. Especially when Stephen noticed how happy you looked around Stark, and how that unbearable smirk of his, the one that made him want to punch you, changed. It became sincere, real.

They were both furious that they had to compete with each other for you. But back down? Never.

"Are you arguing again?" you asked, entering the living room.

“No,” they both said too quickly.

• Really?

Silence. They exchanged glances, and then Stark blurted out: — We are in love with you. Both of us.

“Stark,” Stephen hissed, ready to strangle him.

And then the conversation took a really weird turn. Tony had a terrible idea. Very Stark-esque. The weirdest thing is, Stephen, gritting his teeth, supported it, but only if you decide so yourself.

“Time out,” you paused, digesting all this, “in case my hearing is damaged: what did you offer me?”

"Oh, baby, don't make me waste my time with terminology," Tony chuckled. "Let's call it 'resource optimization.' Why choose between a mechanical genius and a master of the mystic arts when you can have it all? I suggest... well, let's say, shared rights."

Stephen sighed heavily, but there was no doubt in his eyes:

"Stark is as rude as ever. But the point is, we've both acknowledged the fact: we're not ready to give in to each other. Therefore..." he paused, "We offer you both of us. Without conditions, jealousy, or the need to choose."

"Exactly!" Tony looked far too pleased. "A triple alliance. You're the center of our little chaos. What do you say? Do you like the idea of ​​being the leader of this alliance of two egocentric idiots?"
