Scary Movies
It was their weekly movie night but everyone beside the two of them was either sent off on a mission or dealing with something else at the moment. Neither of them were bothered though, in fact they both secretly enjoyed it.
“What are you in the mood to watch?” Bruce asked as they looked over the countless movies.
“Something scary.” [Y/N] called from the kitchen where she was preparing an assortment of snacks.
Bruce sighed to himself, trying to figure out how he was going to make it through this night but he did ask so it was his own fault.
“Anything specific?”
His chocolate eyes scanning over the countless options of horror films, having no clue what was good being that he avidly avoided the genre all together.
“How about Poltergeist?” She suggested, walking into the living room holding a tray of various goodies.
“Alight.”
Bruce took the movie off the shelf and popped the disc into the DVD player before taking his place on the recliner across from his [h/c] haired companion.
About halfway through the movie [Y/N] noticed something off with Bruce. He looked tense, with his jaw clenched as his hands shook slightly.
“Are you seriously scared of this?”
“If I say no will you believe me?”
“I wouldn’t count on it” [Y/N] snickered, ”Just don’t go green on me.”
“Can….I sit with you?” Bruce asked, face tinging the lightest shade of pink.
“If it will help you feel better.”
Bruce wasted no time in getting up and sitting beside her on the couch. [Y/N] wrapped a small arm around his shoulders in hopes of comforting the tense scientist.
“You don’t like scary movies do you Brucie?” She asked with a knowing smile.
“Not really.”
“Then why didn’t you just say something?”
“Because you like them.” Bruce muttered.
“I would have been fine with something else.”
“I wanted to make you happy.”
“Well I-….spending time with you makes me happy.” [Y/N] confessed, happy the room was dark so that her flushed cheeks were hidden.
“Why?”
“Because I happen to like you very much Dr. Banner.”
Bruce chuckled, leaning over to press a light kiss to her cheek.
“I happen to like you very much as well Ms. [L/N].” Bruce admitted, the pink hue of his cheeks darkening to a light red.
It was left at that as the two turned their attention back to the movie, Bruce’s neveres seeming to ease now that he was closer to her and was actually able to enjoy himself.
~Epilogue~
“Did I miss something here?” Tony asked as he had finally left his lab only to find this upon entering the living room.
On the couch laid a sleeping [Y/N] with Bruce fast asleep on her chest. It was probably the last thing Tony expected to see, hell even catching Steve and Natasha a few months back was less surprising than this! With a snicker the billionaire pulled out his phone, quickly snapping a picture before making his way into the kitchen.
“Well now, why don’t show off this happy couple to the rest of the world.” He said cheerfully, pressing a button on his phone then putting it back in his pocket.
