Marvel Characters Comforting You (Headcanons)
A/n: I felt like making some headcanons with some of my favourite Marvel characters because no one's requested Marvel recently haha. This is my account I do what I want. These are just general headcanons btw they don't really tie into movie plots or show plots, the gifs I used are all over the place. Enjoy!
Tony Stark
Tumblr media
Tony will definitely be aware of when you're feeling down, mostly because you shut down and he knows what shutting down is like
Will ask if you're okay
When you don't respond, he will sit beside you
He won't say anything or hug you, just let you know that he's there if you do need him
Eventually you will lean into him and he'll wrap an arm around you
The two of you may sit there for hours or minutes, but it doesn't matter
You just appreciate being in his presence
Bruce Banner
Tumblr media
Bruce is a lot like Tony, he'll notice you're down before you even have to tell him
He'll make you something to drink/eat, because when you get upset you tend to stop self caring as much
Will try to cheer you up by telling you about Tony's lab antics
Will talk it out with you if you want to
If not, will distract you
Clint Barton
Tumblr media
Clint won't notice at first, but once he does he will be by your side until he deems you okay enough to not need him
Will take your phone so you don't have to deal with stressful notifications
Cuddles! He will cuddle you.
Might even give you an inspirational pep talk
He's a cheery guy, so just being around him will cheer you up a lot
Scott Lang
Tumblr media
Like Clint, he's just a cheery guy so just being around him will be enough to cheer you up
Will take you out to spend time with him and Cassie
Cassie herself will also cheer you up a lot
Ice cream!!!!
Cuddles and pillow forts!
He will tell you dumb jokes to make you smile
Vision
Tumblr media
Vision doesn't understand human emotions all too well
But he will definitely want to cheer you up
He will search his databases on ways to cheer you up
Does cliche things to cheer you up
Watches movies
Cuddles
Makes you food (but it turns out bad because he can't eat it)
Peter Quill
Tumblr media
He will listen to music with you
Definitely drag you up to dance with him when he realizes you're still upset
He will act more like a dumbass on purpose (if that's possible), just to see you smile
Let you drive the ship and go anywhere you want
Rocket: Why does Y/n get to drive the ship? None of us get to
"They're upset, Rocket. Cut them some slack?"
Mantis
Tumblr media
Because of her empathic abilities will know immediately
She will use her abilities to cheer you up
The two of you will just sit and talk, about anything and nothing at the same time
More cuddles!!!
She will ask the other Guardians for advice on ways to cheer you up
And use their ideas
Which will cheer you up because they will all turn out horribly
Ava Starr
Tumblr media
She won't really know how to cheer you up
She doesn't have a lot of people in her life who she cares about and who cares about her so she won't entirely know how to cheer you up
But she knows what cheers her up!
So she'll try and tell you jokes
Hugs, she won't be a full on cuddler but she will definitely hug you
She'll do whatever you want her to do, watch a tv show, make you food, whatever you want
James 'Bucky' Barnes
Tumblr media
Okay, this man has been through a lot
Which means he'll definitely provide you with the best comfort to suit your needs
He won't pry
May stick magnets to his arm just to get a smile out of you
Will definitely do whatever you want
He's not a huge cuddler, but if that's what you want he'll do it
He just wants to see you smile
Wanda Maximoff
Tumblr media
Like Bucky, she's also been through a lot and will also be really good at comforting
Sitcoms and snacks?
She won't pry if you don't want her to, but she'll definitely let you know it's better to get it off your chest
Might have a little bit of fun with her magic, just to cheer you up
Constant reminders that you're not alone
She will hug you if you start crying

Marvel Character x Reader Imagines -
How You Cuddle (Marvel Men Part 1):
This post includes: Tony, Steve, Bucky, Sam, Stephen, Bruce, Thor, Loki, Clint, Peter P.
Please see Part 2 for Scott, Vision, T'Challa, Peter Q, Marc, Steven.
Summary: Male Marvel character x reader. A series of short imagines about how each male Marvel character would cuddle their significant other. You can read all characters, or just scroll down until you find your comfort character 💜
Warnings: None, just lots of cuddles and fluff!
A/N: The rest of the Marvel men and the Marvel women will be a separate post! I got this idea of writing style from my teenage days browsing the ‘Imagines’ trend on watpadd, and thought I would contribute more of these short pieces to Tumblr. If you like this and want to read more imagines, please let me know!
**********************************************
Tony Stark:
Tony’s cuddles would be so protective. You mean the world to him, and often his ego prevents him from showing that with his words. But you can always tell how much he loves with his protective cuddles - throwing his big arms around you and squeezing you tight, keeping you safe.
Tumblr media
Steve Rogers:
Steve’s cuddles would be full of kindness and appreciation. Hugging you from behind, he would sway your hips gently, burrowing his face into your upper back, taking in your scent. “Hey sweetheart, I’ve missed you, how have you been?” Turning around to face him, he beams a smile and presses his body to yours while you enjoy each others company for a moment.
Tumblr media
Bucky Barnes:
Considering Bucky’s experiences with people haven’t been great, it took him a while to warm up to the idea of cuddles and physical touch. The idea of that kind of trust scared him, but over time he learned that all your arms and hands would do is provide comfort, not threat. So whilst he isn’t the tightest hugger in the world, Bucky’s cuddles are gentle, tender, as he traces each imperfection on your face and body with a careful touch. Lightly, he places his metal hand on the back of your neck, pulling you into his chest, placing a gentle kiss on your forehead as you doze to sleep.
Tumblr media
Sam Wilson:
Sam’s cuddles vary depending on whether you are alone or surrounded by friends/are in public. Around others, Sam is a charismatic character. He adores making others laugh, attempting to keep a light hearted tone during social events, and yes, this is reflected in his cuddles. Around his friends, his interactions with you will be fun yet loving - shoulder squeezes, dramatic kisses to your hand accompanied by the remark “my lady, another drink?” But alone, finally de-stressing in your bedroom, drained of social battery, his cuddles share a very different tone. They are emotional and long, laying on his chest as he wraps his strong arms around you, taking a breather - each others safe space after a tiresome and jam-packed day.
Tumblr media
Stephen Strange:
Every time Stephen cuddles you, it’s as if it’s the last time. Sometimes, you could go for long periods of time without seeing each other due to his responsibilities, and knowing how often he attracts dangerous people and situations, sometimes he would prefer to keep you at arms length for your safety. But he can never resist. He always, comes back to you. No matter how much he tries to push you away, no matter how much the multiverse expects of him, he can’t stay away from you for long. So whenever he sees you, whenever he comes back to you, he throws his arms around you and pulls you into a tight, intense, emotional cuddle. Staying in each others arms for what seems like hours, you cherish each moment of physical touch until your love is called to leave again.
Tumblr media
Bruce Banner:
We all know Bruce wouldn’t hurt a fly, but having almost no control over the hulk absolutely terrifies him when he is around you. He loves you, and the last thing he wants is to unleash the hulk and hurt you - the light of his life. So during cuddles, often you have to lead. Sensing his hesitancy, you grasp his hands and place them on your hips, pulling him forward, allowing him to take a step or two closer to you before you close your arms around his neck. After a moment or two, realising that nothing bad has happened, Bruce’s anxiety will fade and you can feel his hold tighten around you, whispering sweet nothings in your ear as the night unfolds.
Tumblr media
Clint Barton:
Clint’s cuddles are strong, grasping you firm in his hold. After Natasha’s death, the thought of losing his loved ones was enough to give Clint nightmares. When his mind spirals, his anxiety heightens and he feels as though he’s about to lose control the people he loves, your cuddles are his safe space that help ground him back into reality. Taking deep breaths, he holds you close, in silence, the tightness of his grip enough for you to know that no words need be said - this man loves you.
Tumblr media
Thor Odinson:
Thor cuddles you with pride. His cuddles more than anything show that he is overjoyed to have you by his side - his other half. In every situation, in front of his family and yours, in front of his friends and your friends, this man will not hesitate to cuddle the hell out of you. When he first introduced you to his father, you were both concerned that he may not accept you as a simple Midgardian. Understanding your nerves, and wanting to prove to his family just how happy you truly make him, he pulled you into his armoured chest. Picking you up and spinning you around, he wrapped his muscular arms around your waist, squeezing you with so much love, before placing a finger under your chin, tilting your head to lock eyes with yours before unleashing a beaming smile. “See, Father, look at how much I love them! Isn’t it great!”
Tumblr media
Loki Laufeyson:
Around others, Loki pretends to be the dominant character of your relationship. However, behind closed doors, you see Loki’s struggles with his inner demons and childhood trauma. Over time, he has become transparent with you about his hardships. The truth is - he needs you. Like a safety blanket, you are Loki’s comfort, and your arms provide a space for him to relax, express his emotions, and ground himself. Often, he will be the one to initiate a snuggle, especially after a hard day. Looking up at you with distant eyes, you know exactly what your lover needs. Sitting up against your pillow, in the darkness of your bedroom you feel Loki crawl into your lap, resting his head against your stomach. His hands wrapped around your waist, you gently rub his shoulders and back, kissing his forehead, and running your fingers through his raven hair. “It’s okay, I’m here.”
Tumblr media
Peter Parker:
Peter is a big bundle of kindness and praise. Cuddles with him are incredibly uplifting. He has no filter, and whilst this can be a teeny tiny issue in some situations, cuddles is definitely not one of them. He doesn’t hesitate to tell you all of the reasons why he loves you, holding your waist tightly. He will never bury his head in your neck, but that’s only because he loves to make eye contact with you while he showers you with his words of affection. Out of breath from his string of compliments, Peter places his forehead against yours, staring lovingly and deeply into each others eyes as your chests press together in a beautiful union, swaying to the beautiful silence of the room.

avengers (and peter parker) on their wedding day, maybe seeing reader walk down the isle?
Tumblr media
Tony was very nervous at first, he kept glancing at the alley door, hoping you wouldn't get cold feet or run away..You had every right to.
He was a flirt, egotistical genius and you had had plenty other reasons to quit, give up..His foot was shaking and he was about to call the whole thing out when you appeared.
You were breath-taking.
Words got stuck in his throat and when you started walking, Tony felt that—out of all the Avengers—he was the luckiest.
"I do.."
He blurted out before the priest had even started the ceremonial speech. You smiled knowingly at him and Tony thanked his lucky star that he got to you first. He wasn't stupid, and knew you had had many proposals before him and he didn't think you would pick him, but you did..He wanted to do a little dance and shout very childishly.
"TAKE THAT, SUCKERS !"
But, he didn't want to sound like a complete asshole the day of your wedding, so he simply smiled back.
He almost forgot that he had a whole speech prepared for the occasion, a real teary-eyed emotional speech..But, when he opened his mouth to say them, the words that got out were completely different.
"Y/N L/N. I never thought you would become a Stark, even less to accept to go on a first date with me or become the one who brightens my life. But, for some reason ? I wouldn't have it any other way. And even though Stark used to be a name I wasn't proud of—that I despised even—I know that if you decide to wear it ? I would never be prouder of bearing any other name..You make me want—for the first time in my life—to embrace who I am and give my all so our future name may make you proud. I love you, Y/N.", he finished and you were thankful he did, because you would have had no time to shower him in praises in return.
"Tony Stark. Genius, billionaire, philanthropist..And, I hope, no more the playboy I used to know ?"
A couple of muffled chuckles and barely hidden snorts made themselves heard in the audience. However, you didn't mind them, as your eyes were still fixed on Tony who faked being offended, placing his hand flat on his chest with his eyes slightly agape in mocking indignation.
"I thought..How could someone so great ever be interested in me ? Out of every person in the high crowd..How could the incredible Tony Stark ever see me ? But—for some strange reason—you did. You took my hand and we danced. We danced, and it was on that first night that I knew. You were the one I would end up falling in love with, and even though there were a lot of stones and crevices along the way..Here we are."
Tony smiled knowingly at you. Your love had never been simple or straightforward, but it still led you to the altar. He didn't believe in destiny, but he had to admit it really seemed like it.
When it was finally the right time, he didn't hesitate before repeating the I do and you followed him suit.
Your love wasn't perfect, but it was worth it.
He then grabbed you and tilted you backwards to kiss you deeply, not caring about the room full of guests gasping and clapping energetically around you.
And to make it even better, Tony grabbed your hand and you both ran away, a car already waiting outside for you. When you were both in the car, he turned towards you and asked you with a small enigmatic smile.
"Where to, my lady/gentleman ?"
You thought about it for a moment before finally answering with a wide grin.
"How about..everywhere ?"
Tony seemed taken aback for a moment, but soon, his signature smile brightened his face and he kissed your knuckles before starting the car.
"EVERYWHERE ! HERE WE COME !", he declared loudly.
You missed the old man, standing next to the car, until your eyes briefly met and he smiled.
You were sure to have seen him somewhere before ? He waved and you waved back sheepishly. It was like you were saying goodbye to an old friend.
"Take good care of him..", he mouthed to you before Tony drove away.
Tumblr media
Clint was on the verge of tears. He had waited for that day for so long, he thought it would never come..
Natasha had to hold his hand while they were waiting. Clint knew he had to choose a best man, but he couldn't see anyone who deserved that title more than Natasha.
"Don't worry. They're coming. Hold the tears, you big softie."
Natasha admonished jokingly and he gasped a breath before nodding weakly.
"I'll try..", he replied with a little broken voice, his tone betraying his nervousness.
Natasha smiled sympathetically and patted his shoulder encouragingly.
At that moment, the doors opened and you appeared. In an instant, all of Clint's worries vanished. He just knew his heart seemed to be malfunctioning, as it couldn't stop beating faster than a running horse.
He felt cold sweat run down his spine and gulped loudly as you started walking towards him.
That was it.
The moment he had waited so long for and it took all of his will power not to laugh in relief. Finally. He would have everything he ever desired..You would be his wife/husband and the notion itself made him feel like everything he had to go through to find you was worth it.
He almost missed the priest's words and when it was his time to talk and tell you everything he felt for you ? He fell silent from a second or two in secret devotion before finally finding the right words.
"Y/N. I wanted to impress you. I even asked the others for advice on what I should say to you today..But, truth is ? There are no words strong enough to tell you how much I love you..You know me. I was always the quiet type, and even though, you found something in me. And, if you say yes today ? Know that you would make me the happiest man in the world."
He couldn't hold back his tears any longer, but you neither. You smiled happily at him and took a big breath before starting talking too.
"Clint. I knew from the beginning that winning you over would be a challenge. Tough guy who has terrible trust issues and a fortress around his heart that even I, had great difficulty piercing through. And God knows I've tried.."
It made him and the audience laugh, but if a marriage was to be successful, it had to be built on truth and trust. So, you had to be completely honest as to why you had fallen for that man that everything seemed to tell you not to at first..
"..But, I also saw a side of you that took me by surprise. A glimpse of who you truly are..You're the most caring and admirable man I have ever met and just for that, you gained my heart."
Clint blinked his tears away and when he held your hands and leaned forward to kiss you, it was beautiful and so true, it brought tears to Natasha's eyes as well.
When you took a step back and you smiled brightly at each other, you didn't even hear the loud cheers around you.
You threw the bouquet and it landed into an old man's hands. You didn't recognize him exactly, but you were sure to have seen him somewhere before..He smiled widely at you and shouted.
"SEE YOU AT MY WEDDING !"
You smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Send me an invitation !"
The old man smiled back and disappeared in the crowd afterwards. Your attention then went back to Clint who took your hand and led you to the exit, flowers raining on your path.
You knew you would be happy with him.
Tumblr media
A marriage on Asgard was everything you suspected it would be..especially for a royal wedding.
There was the whole kingdom chanting your name and the aisle was so long, you had trouble seeing the end of it..However, when you finally arrived, Thor was waiting for you in his glistening and shinning armor. He looked like one of those princes in fairy tales and you couldn't believe you would soon be his wife/husband.
"You look beautiful.", was the first thing he said to you and you couldn't deny it when he was looking at you with so much love and affection.
It was happening.
You would become the king/queen of Asgard.
Odin linked your arms together with a white cloth and since you are from Midgard, he also asked for the both of you to exchange wedding rings.
When it was time for your respective matrimonial speech, you started.
"You. Thor Odinson. You are everything I never thought possible. You are literally a god. A warrior with inimaginable powers who—one day—knocked on my doorstep and asked for my help. I never could have imagined that my decision of helping a stranger would lead me to where I am today..But, I'm very glad it did..I'm glad it lead me to you. Thor."
Thor beamed at you and for a moment, you could have sworn a tear escaped his eye, but he quickly wiped it away with his thumb before speaking too.
"You. Y/N of Midgard. Are and will always remain the only being in the universe I will ever willingly kneel to. I will offer you my undying loyalty to. And yet, I think it is not enough. Because, you deserve so much more than what a king, or a god can offer you. You deserve happiness, and I will enjoy spending my entire life making sure you will get it. OR MY NAME ISN'T THOR ODINSON !"
You cried a little and knew that Thor wasn't a liar and knowing you had such power over him filled you with pride. Your love for him was overflowing and your heart was beating alongside his like a silent imperceptible song only the two of you could hear.
When Odin asked you, you both said yes in unison, not leaving each other's eyes. You missed the way an old man was looking at the both of you with tenderness..As if he actually knew you.
"You can kiss the..."
Thor didn't wait, he leaned forward and pulled you flushed against him before kissing you breathless. The whole kingdom applauded and you wrapped your arms around his shoulder, everything disappearing around you.
But, a familiar voice succeeded in piercing through the crowd's clamoring to you.
"Have a great life you two."
You opened your eyes and looked around, but the old man was already gone and all that was left was the arms of your beloved around you. Thor tilted his head to look in the direction you were facing with a small worried frown.
"Is something the matter, Y/N ?"
You smiled reassuringly at him and shook your head.
"Nothing important..Let us go."
He smiled widely, as if he was waiting for you to say that before carrying you in his arms to the exit.
He was very excited about spending the night with you and show you everything Asgard had to offer. Your new home.
Tumblr media
Bucky was surprisingly calm.
He knew you would come. He was standing straight next to Sam.
With Steve being gone, Sam was the best option and he remained stoic beside him with a small knowing smile on his lips.
He leaned forward to whisper.
"Don't worry, Bucky. After today, you'll no longer have a reason to keep that frown on your face."
Bucky huffed a laugh and as Sam had predicted, the moment his eyes fell on you, he smiled.
You were beautiful..He forgot where you were for a moment and took a step forward, eager to tell you how incredible you looked, but Sam stopped him by resting his hand on his shoulder.
"Calm down, tiger. Let them come to you."
Bucky stopped dead in his tracks and moved his leg up and down impatiently, a smile not leaving his face as he waited for you to walk the stairs of the altar. Once you were finally there, you looked at each other and Bucky instinctively reached for your hands.
The priest arrived and when it was time for the both of you to vocally express your love, you found yourself speechless. What could you say that might express the way you felt about him ? Thankfully, Bucky spoke first.
"Y/N..You are beautiful and smart and incredibly clever. I didn't expect you to be there by my side when times were rough for me, but you were..You are more than what I am worth and just by standing here today, you might as well consider me impressed and in love with you more than ever."
You smiled and nodded understandingly, knowing how every word from Bucky came from the heart. You blinked a few times to wipe the tears away and then replied.
"Bucky Barnes. You have suffered greatly in the past, but I sincerely hope you will find the happiness and peace you seek for with me..In that future we will build together."
It wasn't long, but it was the truth. Bucky could feel it as he smiled tenderly at you and reached for your hand once more. He was sure to find more than he ever bargained for with you and you both tried not to laugh as Sam almost tumbled forward in his eagerness to bring you the rings.
Once the rings exchanged and you both said yes to each other, Bucky kissed you passionately and you smiled into the kiss. You were finally married. When you pulled away, Bucky eyed the door significantly and you smiled again before nodding on agreement. It was time to go..Bucky grabbed your hand and you started running towards the exit.
Once out, Bucky was surprised to find a brand new moto at the gates of the church and was even more shocked when you unhesitatingly jumped on it.
You must have noticed his confusion as you turned towards him and shrugged.
"Happy wedding anniversary in advance ?", you threw the keys at him and Bucky's smile widened as he understood, this new beauty was all his.
"Did I already tell you how much I love you ?", he asked, running his hands on the shiny plastic with admiration.
"Once or twice.", you replied with a small teasing smile, happy that your gift was appreciated.
You glanced back at the church and found a man on the stairs, staring right at you. He smiled kindly when your eyes met and for some reason ? You knew he was someone important.
You smiled back before Bucky climbed on the seat his brand new motorcycle and you wrapped your arms around his waist.
"Am I still your favorite ?", you teased as Bucky was obviously still admiring the moto, but he immediately broke eye contact with her to look at you.
"Have no doubt about that. I'm the one riding her. You ? I would let you ride me."
Your smile dropped for a moment as you registered what he just said, but Bucky didn't let you reply before starting the engine.
You would have all the time to figure it out on your honeymoon. *wink wink*
The priest was the first one out after you and you locked eyes for a moment. He smiled and winked at you before shouting.
"Enjoy the ride !"
Tumblr media
Scott took a big breath before breathing out loudly, skipping from one foot to the other nervously..He had already been a groom once, it didn't end well..He sincerely hoped this time around would be different. He had Cassie by his side with her little basket full of pink rose petals and he wanted to show her that her dad wasn't a complete failure.
But, he was scared.
He closed his eyes and breathed deeply through his nose to calm himself down, but it was difficult.
What was he doing ?! Why go through the same process when he already knew marriage had never worked out with him ?
However, when the door slammed open and you appeared, as gorgeous as the day you met..He knew why he was here. He knew why he was risking it. He was risking it for you. Because you were worth it. Because you were different.
His heart filled with love and his eyes with tenderness as he saw you walk the aisle. It was like an angel had suddenly come along to brighten his day and make his insecurities wash away..You were here. It was all that mattered.
He took a step forward and extended his hand towards you that you took with a big smile..Gosh. He would die for that smile.
When it was time for the marital vows, Scott had planned the whole thing, had written it down even. But, as his eyes locked with yours, he realized it didn't matter. Whatever he could possibly say, you already knew.
So, he decided to speak from the heart and improvise, something he never really was good at..according to a lot of people.
"Y/N. You're the man/woman of my life. From the moment we met, I never doubted a second that we would eventually be together. However, I won't lie. I was scared. Still am, actually. I wasn't a good husband, not even a good man either to be honest..I want to believe that I can be with you, but it's hard. I'm excited, hopeful and it's fantastic, but also terrifying. I've never felt like this before, not since Cassie was born. I'm so in love with you. I can't wait to kiss you, have children with you, have a life with you, change diapers with you and..", he chuckled awkwardly at the sudden silence in the church/room after that last part and massaged the back of his neck nervously,"..I ruined the moment, didn't I ?"
You laughed. You laughed, and Scott's eyes widened as tears formed at the corner of your eyes and he feared you were laughing at him, but he quickly discarded the idea.
"Scott..You fool ! You're the best man I have ever met ! You are an amazing father, a goddamn superhero and I can't believe you can't see it yet ! I'm so in love with you, I want all the things you want and more ! I don't care about your past. I love you, Scott. You."
Scott couldn't hold it any longer and pulled you in his arms, not even sparing a glance at the crowd around you. You laughed and kissed each other before the priest had even finished the request and shouted in unison when it was time to say yes, eager to be alone together.
You then ran and you took Cassie in your arms, the three of you entering Scott's car in a hurry, ignoring her mother's protests.
At the last minute, you could have sworn seeing an old man waving at you, but it was only a flick of the moment and you shook your head.
You were going home and Cassie beamed up at you.
"I KNEW YOU WOULD BE MY NEW MOMMY/DADDY !"
You laughed at that and when Scott kissed your knuckles, you knew your future would be amazing.
Tumblr media
Stephen was surprised. He wasn't surprised that he was getting married. That. He knew.
He was surprised to find you already waiting for him at the end of the aisle..34 hours before the wedding. You weren't wearing a dress/suit, but you were still there, as if waiting for him..as if you knew he would be there.
He floated down next to you and you stood still, not even glancing at him. You knew he had something to ask you..
Stephen looked up at the ceiling.
Maybe would he find the words up there ?
There was something bothering him..
It wasn't him who had asked you. He thought he would be the one to put a knee on the ground and get out the ring, but you beat him to it..And the only answer you had given him when he had asked you about this sudden decision, was an enigmatic smile and a cheeky wink.
It was gnawing at him. However, your voice cut him out of his thoughts as you turned towards him.
"I wanted to see you..Just, to make sure you're okay."
His eyes widened. It was his wedding, why wouldn't he be okay ?! He was ecstatic, he couldn't wait to be eternally linked through marital contract with you..He had waited too long when love had knocked at his door the first time, he wouldn't make the same mistake twice. So, he lied. He smiled and shook his head.
"I'm okay.."
The look you gave him showed that you weren't fooled, but you didn't persist. He would tell you eventually..
There was still this worry persisting in the back of his head, and even though he wanted to tell you, he couldn't.
So, when it was the time for marital vows on your wedding day, only one question went past his lips.
"Y/N..Why did you propose ?"
Your brow furrowed and you looked up at him with confusion in your eyes and he understood he would have to be clearer.
"Why did you propose first ? You knew I would have eventually done it..Right ?"
Your reaction wasn't the one he expected as your straight out busted into laughter..He knew he should be upset, but the sound was so beautiful, he couldn't help but laugh as well.
"Right. Stupid question.", he quickly added, but you shook your head and held his hands in yours. You smiled absent-mindedly at his calloused fingertips and wondered how many people he had saved with those hands ?
"Stephen Strange..If I had waited for you to propose to me, I would have died a bachelor/an old maiden."
He was shocked at first, but let out a soft chuckle at the realization..You were right. Stephen had a problem when it came to taking decisions, especially concerning the matters of the heart. He should have known.
Well..He had his answer now.
The priest smiled as he saw Stephen's contempt expression, which was known to be a rare sight.
"Stephen Stradt..", he started, but was interrupted by Stephen.
"It's Strange."
The priest frowned a little at the correction before continuing.
"Right, Strand. Will you take Y/N to be your wife/husband ?"
Stephen stopped himself from rolling his eyes and decided to ignore the priest and looked back at you. You were radiant and Stephen felt his chest fill with pride at the thought that finally, he had found his happiness. He would no longer be alone.
"Yes.", it came a little too quick and by the way your smile slightly widened, you knew too.
You followed suit and when he leaned forward to kiss you, you let him linger there a few seconds longer than necessary, certain that that kiss would stay in both of your memories until the end of your lives.
You then pulled away and Stephen turned towards the crowd, trying to remain composed, but failing as his cape started wiping his tears away.
"Quit it.", he ordered and the cape indulged, but seeing Stephen's red face was enough for you to let out a small laugh. He sent you a death glare, but it softened as he realized you were now his wife/husband..that he would get to hear your laugh again and again. It made him smile again.
A few days later, the marriage papers would arrive and you would both be surprised to find the correct last name on the document.
"I knew it ! That old priest was mocking me !", Stephen exclaimed in disbelief and you laughed.
However, you then found another small note written by the priest to your attention.
Take good care of that old grunt for me. I wish you both a good fulfilling life.
You smiled at the note and the faint memory of the priest's face came back to you..Somehow, you were certain to have seen him somewhere before ?
Stephen noticed your thoughtful expression and squeezed your hand.
"Is something the matter ?"
You looked back at him and smiled reassuringly before shaking your head.
"Nothing. Just an odd feeling of melancholy..It'll pass."
Stephen didn't further on the subject, but he did extend his hand forward to lead you outside.
"How about a walk outside to clear our minds, Y/N Strange ?"
You smiled at the name and nodded in agreement.
"There is nothing I would like more, Stephen Strange."

Peter was late.
It was to be expected. It wasn't easy to be a superhero.
However, what you didn't expect was Spiderman to crash your wedding and land in front of you. You knew that Peter was Spiderman, but many of the guests didn't. Or, so you thought ? There weren't that many guests, and since your few family members that could come had been delayed by traffic, you couldn't be sure.
"What are you doing ?", you whispered to him and he shrugged before replying.
"There was too much traffic. I didn't want to be too late to my own wedding.."
You rolled your eyes and hid your amused smile before turning towards the priest and gestured him to continue the ceremony. The priest, after a few seconds of staring at the unexpected groom, indulged. When the part of the vows arrived, you wondered if you should spare his whole secret identity thing by addressing him as Spiderman ? But, he spared you the trouble as he started.
"Y/N. We went to class together. We fought crime together. And now, we're getting married..Wow. If I didn't know any better, I would say you have a crush on me ?"
It made you laugh. Typical Peter..Always had to get the last laugh. But, not this time.
His eyes widened when you started undressing in front of everybody and Peter then noticed your hero suit underneath.
"What are you doing ?!", he exclaimed, mourning the dress as it fell to the floor.
"There is no way you're getting married in your hero suit and I don't ! Now, help me get out of that dress/suit !"
"Yes, ma'am/sir."
Peter eagerly agreed with a small amused laugh and then helped you undress while the guests looked at each other, wondering if it was all part of the wedding plan. But, when you were both in your hero suits and Peter held your hand, it felt like there was only the two of you.
It felt right.
And when your eyes met ? There was this warm sensation that spread across your body and when it was time for the kiss, you pulled him in. Peter didn't complain.
He thought he would never get to ask you to marry him, as many heroes die young. He knew this the moment he became Spiderman..He thought he would never get to see you in a wedding dress/suit. But, here you were.
You were married. It was done. Peter's eyes watered and he quickly wiped them away. He wasn't going to cry at his own wedding.
But, you seemed to read his mind as your own eyes brimmed with tears of joy.
You kissed him again and Peter swore he could have died of happiness right there.
He then remembered where you were and pulled away, his hand still in yours as he turned towards the crowd. There was aunt May, clapping next to Happy who was trying his best to remain stoic, but failing spectacularly as he burst into tears. Aunt May gave him a handkerchief that he accepted gratefully.
Peter smiled affectionately at them, but then his eyes caught another pair of eyes on him. An old man was sitting at the far end of the room/church and was clapping too. He had a pair of sunglasses on and even though Peter had never seen him before, he was familiar to him somehow..It was an odd feeling, a mix of melancholy and relief. It was as if his uncle Ben was still there, still watching over him.
You also noticed the old man who left the church with his fist raised to the sky.
"Good job, kid.."

"Who put the marinara sauce next to the tortilla chips ?!", was the first thing you heard when you entered the room where there was suppose to occur you wedding after-party. There was no doubt it was your wife who had just exclaimed her disapproval and was now rearranging the whole design of the room to her taste.
You pretended to be as obfuscated as her by the room arrangement, even though you were the one who had placed the marinara sauce next to the tortilla chips.
"What ?! Where is the police ?! The National Guard ?! The army ?! A crime has been committed !", you joked and she sent you a glare that immediately made you raise your hands up in surrender.
"I'm innocent, officer. I swear."
She rolled her eyes, but a small smile betrayed her amusement as she huffed before exchanging the marinara sauce for some guacamole..Figures.
"It is no laughing matter ! I want everything to be perfect."
You repressed an eye roll before wrapping your arms around her waist and resting your chin on her shoulder, while she was working her magic to make everything "perfect." Then, a dark thought crossed your mind.
"Say..Did you ever try to make me 'perfect' too ? Just wondering..", you wanted to sound nonchalant, but Wanda was not fooled. She suddenly stopped her actions to focus on you and saw the sudden hesitancy in your eyes.
She framed your face with her hands and slowly tilted your head so you would look her in the eyes. She then gave you the brightest and most genuine smile she could muster before kissing your forehead.
"You already are.", she finally answered and you felt your heart skip a beat at her confession. You smiled back at her and kissed her sweetly.
"I love you..", you whispered against her lips and she laughed, a light and beautiful laugh so pure it sounded like your wedding bells were already ringing.
"I sure hope so..", she replied with a small amused smile and you held her close.
Who could have predicted a little red witch would have stolen your heart ?
An old man then entered and coughed to get your attention.
"I'm sorry to interrupt..But, if you youngsters would like to follow me, I would like to show you the cake. It has arrived earlier than expected."
Before you could answer, Wanda gave the old man a wide grin and clapped excitedly.
"OF COURSE ! Lead the way..", she then grabbed your arm and dragged you forward, eager to see the cake with you (and maybe even get a taste.)
You walked past the old man and mouthed him in exaggerated helplessness.
"Help."
But the old man raised his hands, clearly signifying that his hands were tied and watched you both walk away with a small smile on his face.
"...I hope you will finally be happy, Wanda."

"Once the war is over, I'll marry you. I promise, Y/N."
Steve had promised to you before going to war all those years ago, and you had waited..You had waited..But, he never came back.
When Steve was found under the ice, his first thought after being brought back to life was to find you. But, what he found wasn't what he wanted..He learned that after long years of waiting, your heart had stopped one morning. He walked into the cemetery and his eyes prickled with tears as he saw your name carved in the stone. You were supposed to grow old together..
And now, you were six feet under the ground and Steve could only wish he wouldn't have waited..He played with the ring in his fingers and bent his head forward to hide his tears from view..It was not supposed to end this way.
He loved you..He still loved you..It wasn't fair.
He tightened his fist around the ring and wondered if he should just get rid of it ? Would it bring him some kind of closure ? Would he finally find peace ?
He then buried one knee in the ground in front of your grave and asked the question he had been so nervous to ask in the past, one that he had no trouble with now..Now that it was too late.
"Y/N L/N..Would you marry me ?"
The pang in his chest tightened at the deadly silence. He would never get his answer it seemed.
He burst into tears, his teardrops falling onto the ground, watering the dry earth beneath him and making it all the more real.
What had he ever done to deserve this ?
"I'm sorry..I'm so sorry I was too late, Y/N. I..You don't know how much I would have wanted to be there. I would give everything to get back to you..I love you. I love you so much. It hurts."
Captain Rogers who was normally so composed, could only crumble in the dirt for your forgiveness. He had seen all of his old camarades marry and die on the battlefield..Now, he didn't know if he pitied or envied them.
He would keep fighting. But, what was the point now ? You were gone.
He left the ring on your tombstone and walked away..only to walk back to retrieve it.
He couldn't give up. He wouldn't..Never.
A few years later :
When Steve stayed in the past, he only had one thing in his mind: you.
He ran so fast, faster than ever before and climbed the stairs by four, racing through your front yard to knock at your door. He was breathless and knocked a second time more urgently, hoping that you would be the one opening the door.
Finally, footsteps were heard and the door opened ajar.
You appeared. The door wasn't completely open that he was already embracing you.
"Y/N..", he uttered your name with such relief, it brought tears to your eyes.
You returned his embrace and buried your face in his neck.
"I missed you..so much.", you cried out and Steve tightened his hold on you, thinking of the irony in your words bitterly.
"I missed you too..And I don't want to wait any longer."
You pulled away confused, until Steve fell on one knee in front of you and got out the ring he had bought all those years ago.
"Y/N L/N. Would you..?"
He didn't get to finish the question.
"YES ! YES YES YES. ! ONE MILLION YES !", you interrupted him and jumped into his arms, making you both fall backwards.
When the ring was slipped on your finger, you looked at it with such a bright smile, Steve could only adore you more for it.
You were both in such bliss that you failed to notice the man standing on the other side of the road, gazing upon the both of you with almost paternal tenderness.
"Finally..You are all happy now."
