First meetings

---

Thinking about him

---

Missing him

---

If you so much as touch a hair on his head

---

BONUS;

It's an invitation

Stephen;

He portals to Steve's room when he knows no one is there and brings him herbal tea and medicine

He sits by the bedside while Steve drinks

He comforts Steve when Steve says that it's his own fault

"It's not your fault, everyone gets sick sometimes"

Stephen silently watches Steve fall asleep and then sits there for a while just watching him

When he's sure that Steve is asleep, Stephen stands up to kiss his forehead

He leaves a tiny note under Steve's pillow: "I'll be back tomorrow"

Steve;

He makes an effort to visit Stephen in the sanctum

If Stephen is out of bed, Steve will order him to lay down

Steve is more open when Stephen is sick

He puts his hand on Stephen's forehead to feel his temperature rather than using a thermometer

He sometimes talks about his life before the ice

He takes the time to massage Stephen's hands, even if Stephen complains about it

"It's not often the doctor himself gets a fever" said lovingly

Steve likes to talk until Stephen can't keep his eyes open anymore

When Stephen is asleep, Steve kisses his knuckles and tucks him in, then kisses his temple or his cheek

Settles arguments through civilized conversation

Absolutely no public display of affection

Staring contest when they're mad at each other

Silent brooders - none of them talk about their feelings

Doesn't share a bed - they even have separate rooms

Showing affection through tiny, "accidental" touches

The relationship is absolutely not public knowledge

They leave each other subtle, inspirational notes

Synch™ - fighting battles together are a piece of cake

Additionally;

If they've been away from each other for a long time, they shake hands like old friends, only to make eye contact with each other and drown. They can no longer keep away from each other, hands clasping at each other tightly, and lips clashing in a truly rare, but extremely passionate kiss.

How did I come up with this? This tweet is how I came up with this idea, and I will forever be livid at this tweet and this user for making me think about this

Still, SpellShield is crawling its way into my existence. I fear it won't be long until it takes over--

NEXT QUESTION

Who am I? For now, I will remain anonymous and unknown to the world of tumblr. You will be allowed to know me by an alias, or pen name, if you will, which will be *excuse me while I take a moment to think* dvshssksh-- Xen. My alias shall be Xen.

You will not know my gender, my home country, or my favorite drink. I will be shrouded in mystery, and you might forever wonder who this magical Xen came from. To be entirely honest with you, I don't know either. I just appeared, and now here I am. Providing you with magical SpellShield content ✨

I will not be posting on any kind of a schedule. This is 100% for fun and self-indulgence, and maybe a small hope of shining some light on this rarepair to find others who might like it.

Things that I might post include amateur edits, bad memes, incorrect quotes, lousy screencaps, and more. Probably some cheesy stuff if I find something that fits. If I ever get to writing something, you'll see that here too. Oh, and prompts! And fic recs! Hope you're excited for that 👌

I think that's cool enough as an introduction, and I'll leave this post here with pretty much the only picture I found of Stephen x Steve on Pinterest. Better luck next time 🤷
