what if i used your last name? or would that also make us married?

[a_keyhole]

It would imply a familial bond. Like I was your father. Or brother but I'm too old for that honestly.

My last name is Strange, you realize.

[tillimgone]

oh! that makes sense. i was told family can be whoever you want it to be, ivan and i agreed to be family before we boyfriended.

yeah till strange is a bit weird. hm

[a_keyhole]

Yes, family can be who you choose.

If you want to choose my last name, you're welcome to it. I don't mind.

[tillimgone]

oh wait, when you marry tony are you going to take his name?

wait you take the second name right? not the first?

[a_keyhole]

Why do you think I'm going to marry Tony?

Doctor is my title. My full name is Stephen Vincent Strange. If we were family, Strange is the part of my name we would share.

[tillimgone]

isn't that normal? i want to marry ivan

so you have 4 names? that seems kind of greedy, why the fuck do you need 4 names?

[a_keyhole]

It can be. It doesn't always end that way. The person I was with before Tony married someone else. And, I suppose technically, Tony is married already.

Doctor is a title that's earned. It's not a name I was given at birth. I spent years in school to get that title.

[tillimgone]

... wait are you homewrecking?

okay okay, you get to be doctor and you get to be stephen and i'm getting the last name, but whats with the vincent?

[a_keyhole]

If his wife was here I would say yes but she's not.

[ Except she is here but from the past before they're married so technically... no. He's not homewrecking. ]

It's a middle name. It's meant to distinguish me from anyone else with the same first and last name.

[tillimgone]

huh. okay

[he doesn't really like the idea that if Ivan were somewhere else he could get with someone else, but he trusts Strange. Maybe it's more of that unhealthy love thing... fuck this is complicated.]

that's stupid

[a_keyhole]

[ It's complicated. He and Tony haven't talked about it and maybe they should but it's easier not to. ]

There are billions of people on my Earth. More names to tell us all apart does actually help.

You don't have to take one for yourself.
