TW: mentions of Tony’s death, age difference
After Tony’s death, Peter starts to notice Stephen.
Strange notices Peter.
He always notices Peter. This hasn’t changed from the moment he met him, and even after everything, his interest remains the same. A bright, burning thing, as he glimpses- as sparingly as he can- at brown curls falling into brown eyes full of science and questions and brilliance. Out of the corner of his eye, he watches that pink tongue and those pink lips, and under the pretence of studying ancient books, he admires the sharp cheek bones and the delicate curve of Peter’s delicate neck.
Noticing Peter is unchanging. It is as frustrating and irresistible as it always was.
What has changed, however, is that for the first time, Peter seems to notice him.
