Dark Side [Science Boyfriend]

A few months ago

Tony POV

"Jarvis, give me a little bit of that.." Tony slides his finger to the left and pinch the little document to widen it, "yes that's it."

Clips of the hulk obliterating objects flashed on the screen.
Tony observed closely, his eyes illuminated by a mixture of green and blue, infatuated by what he had seen.

"What do you think, J."

"Dr Bruce Banner lives a life caught between the soft-spoken scientist he's always been and the uncontrollable green monster powered by his rage," Jarvis said, his robotic voice sounded almost sympathetic.

"It's fascinating." He whispered.

Back to the current timeline ☆〜

"Doctor Banner," Tony called out, his eyes still focused on the tesseract sceptre.

"Please, call me Bruce." Bruce turned around with a shy but pleased smile.

"Tony for me then." The corners of his eyes crinkled as he took a packet of blueberry out of nowhere and threw one into his mouth. "You want some?" He offered.
Bruce didn't reply but he took one from Tony's hand, making tony smile again.

"You know, you should come by stark tower sometime." Tony suggested, "Top 10 floors, all R&D, you'd love it, it's candy land."

"..Thanks but the last time I was in New York, I kind of broke," Bruce paused for a moment, " Harlem."

"Well, I promise a stress-free environment." Tony walked around Bruce as he walked, "no intention, no surprises!" As he said his last word, he poked Bruce with an electronic zap.

"Oww!" Bruce's eyes widened for a second as Tony leaned forward to have a closer view of his face, "Oh wow nothing?" He frowned, surprised at how amused the big guy is now.

"Hey! Are you nuts?" Steve walked in, his jaws clenched and muscles tensed.

Uh oh, America golden boy is upset.

"Oh, the jury's here." Tony glanced at Steve, paying no attention at all. "You've really got a lid on, what's your secret?" Tony tilted his head, "mellow jazz, bongo drums, a huge bag of weed?" He guessed.

Bruce almost chuckled at that, cute.

"Is everything funny to you?" Steve glared at Tony, clearly baffled.

Obnoxious, Bruce frowned, he was having fun.

"Well, funny things are." Tony raised an eyebrow and pointed the zap at Steve, which well, got even angrier.

"Well endangering other lives in this ship isn't funny." Steve turned his head to Bruce who is still focusing on the computer, " sorry, not trying to offend you, doctor."

"It's okay." Bruce gave a half-smile, he took out his specs and gently put it at the table, usually a subtle sign that he's not exactly very happy. " I wouldn't be here if I can't handle pointy things."

That's right, leave us alone.

For a second, Steve thought there was an underlying meaning only targeted at him, but when he looked again, no greens, no anger or any form of annoyance.

"Aw come on." Tony pouted a little, his big brown eyes looking at Steve before sighing, "fine." He mumbled something about fierce but it was too inaudible.

That was cute, and clearly, not only Bruce thinks so.

"O-oh," Steve stuttered when Tony looked up, "just don't do it again." His ocean blue eyes dilated for a moment and he sputtered before turning away to hide his flushing face.

Tony didn't notice it but Bruce did, he clenched his fists, nails digging into his flesh. His gaze fixated at the screen as put his specs back on to hide his glowing green eyes.

Tony was known to be attractive and charismatic around girls, he didn't know guys are in the list too.

"So, big guy." Tony diverted his attention to Bruce who looked back at him earnestly, "you like being called big guy huh."

"..." yes.

"Hm, so, are you sure you don't wanna visit Stark tower? I promise it's gonna be fun."

Bruce touched his neck but he hesitantly nods his head, "maybe after we finish this."

"You could move in if you want. "Tony eyes sparkled, " A nuclear physicist and an engineer, we gonna blow things up."

Bruce politely smiled at that, " that would be too much trouble for you?"

"I'm a lot of things," Tony smirked, " other than being a genius, I'm also a billionaire."
"That's..true." He nodded his head sheepishly."

Usually, he wouldn't have accepted anything like that but he can't bring himself to reject those Bambi's eyes.

It's almost painful for him to control himself, to not scare him.

After Tony fell from the wormhole—————

"Wow.." Bruce looked around the newly renovated tower, " that's big."

"Well, it's pretty good to fit you in." Tony lazily sunk into the huge sofa with a glass of champagne as his gaze falls on the scientist.

"Are you drunk?" Bruce frowned at Tony's dazed state, "how many you had before I came?"  He slowly walked over and stood in front of the smaller man.

"Do you like this," Tony raised his champagne up shakily then pointed at himself, "or me?"

"..I don't drink." Bruce sighed, "so what do you think?" His voice was hoarse as his gaze fixated at Tony's flushed cheeks and cherry pink lips.

Tony sniffed as he rubbed  his face against the soft fabric, "me?"

"....." He caressed Tony's messy brown hair.

"Urm Hi, Jarvis?" Bruce looked up, his expression changing back to the usual shy one, "do you know which Tony's room is?"

"Good morning Doctor Banner," The AI greeted, " Your room is the second to your  right and you can dispose him anywhere you want."

"Oh." Bruce let out a muffled laugh, “you won’t want him to hear that when he’s sober.”

"I'm just kidding, it's beside your room." The AI sounded almost amused.
