@conquerisms “ Oh . . . it’s just me. I — just somehow think that all this is directed at me and that I’m the only person to fix it. “@@

He covers his face with both hands, in an attempt to find solace in complete darkness. No such luck.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ Do you? “

Although Strange knows the answer perfectly well, he can’t help but ask out of habit. Questions, retorts. That’s Strange’s escape mechanism.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ Y . . . you don’t have to worry about it. “

Hastily, Strange gets out of the sofa and takes a deep breath, looking out into the dimly lit world of 6AM. It’s so early in the morning that not even Wong would be awake.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ Uhh . . . “

He sits up on the sofa, cricking his neck a little as he tries to settle his heart. What he’d seen is truly disturbing.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ Yeah? “

His voice isn’t as confident as normal, lacking the flair of his. He turns to Hela, sighing as his bare torso ( his usual state of attire while sleeping ).

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms Strange’s dreams prove no consolidation for what he’s just heard. In fact, a mysterious hostile force seems to be advancing on Earth as the Sorcerer Supreme lays down his life to fight until the end.

He wakes up, opening his eyes as his dream ends with him being killed.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ Good, I hope you can have a good night’s rest. Regardless of how you were conditioned. “

Tucking the blanket closer around Hela, Strange can feel his eyelids begin to droop as well.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ And you’re gonna wear that thing when you sleep? “

Strange is looking at Hela incredulously at this stage. Shaking his head, he opens a portal and out comes a new pair of bunny slippers.

“ Try these. “

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ No, dear me, no. The Animal Association would have a fit over it. “

Strange points at Hela’s pointy heels. They look like they could take eyes out.

“ Those heels look like weapons. “

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ I still think you should try on bunny slippers. “

Hand still coursing through Hela’s hair, Strange is having one hell of a time by merely thinking about her in PJs.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ But it’s comfortable for both you and me. “

Strange loves this feeling, of having someone who cares for him in a unique way. What’s more, Hela isn’t even human. An intellectual goddess who loves him — it’s the best life ever.

“ You have to admit that! “

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ It’s called pajamas. Maybe you should try them on too, next time we sleep on our bed. “

He lets Hela settle, leaning his head so that it settles on hers. She gives off a sweet, pungent scent.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ But you have all these tight, uncomfortable-looking clothes. How’re you gonna sleep? “

This is definitely not Strange trying to make Hela strip. He’s just caring for her.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms Strange trails his hand through Hela’s locks as she settles on him. Wong would probably laugh when he sees the Sorcerer Supreme being a pillow.

“ You can take off those clothes if you want, “ he says as he makes sure Hela’s covered with she blanket.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ All because I wasn’t a good boy, and talked back? “

Strange opens a portal, and a comfy blanket appears from above Hela. He wraps her around it, making sure that he acts as a nice pillow.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ Come on, you need rest. Or maybe a night out. What d’you say? “

Movies won’t appeal to Hela much, will they? They’re all just implausible forgeries for her.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms Strange looks into nowhere for a few moments, only feeling her warm presence on his body. And his natural smugness catches up with him.

“ C’mon, I’m not that special to yiu. Am I? “ he says with a wide smile.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

Of course Strange is glad.

He’ll pretend not to be.

[𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. @EternalBargains]

@conquerisms “ I have to do this, you know that. “

The kiss lasts for a few moments, but the short meeting of the lips signifies more to come. Strange has both hands on Hela’s cheeks now, looking into her captivating eyes.
