Bruce pov
As we lie in bed with Tony snoring slightly in my ear, I see flashback to the other guys memories. I see him destroying building, hurting people. I feel the rage that he had in these memories flow in my veins. I look at my hand and see it turning green and big. I move my hand to clutch the ring Tony gave me 3 months ago on my neck tightly and focus on calming down. I start to scream as the rest of my arms changes color. Tony wake up and touches my back to sooth me but I hear the other guy growl at him. Tony gets out of bed and goes around to my side.
"Hey big guy. I know something triggered this. Baby I need you to calm down. You need to fight him ok. Just relax baby ok. I'm right here. I love you so much." Tony whispers while kissing my inner wrist.
I shudder slightly because that is the spot that Tony kisses to calm me down. He kisses it repeatedly but the other guy isn't have any of it.
"Come on baby. Come back to me it's ok." Tony says while scooping me into his arms.
He wraps my legs around his waist and sways me gently. I hear him humming "God gave me you" by Black Shelton in my ear softly. I start to shake violently as the other guy fights Tony harder. Tony places my head in his neck and holds my hand with the one that wasn't patting my butt(1). he moves like he is practicing for the waltz to sooth me and hums louder. I fight the other guy harder as he starts to back down. Soon the rage passes as my body stops shaking and my skin changes back to normal, bringing me back to Tony. I calm down completely as I pull back to look at Tony.
"Hey baby, you back." Tony says in his rare gentle voice while kissing my cheek.
"Yeah. I-I'm back. Thanks." I thank him with a kiss and a snuggle.
"No prob. Anything for my baby." He coos at me while hugging me tightly.
He stops rocking me and goes to put me back on the bed. I protest by whimpering lightly and clinging him tightly.
"Not yet. I like it." I pout to him.
"If my baby wants to be held. Then dammit he will be held." Tony says while rocking me again and humming softly.
"Can I ask what happened?" Tony asks me.
"I had flashbacks again. It's weird. I have never been so close to changing into him and didn't. Normally when I touch the ring he would just back off. Tony he was fighting me harder this time. He wouldn't stop yelling at me to let go and to let him have control. What if one day you're not here and he actually beats me. I don't want to go back there Tony. I don't wanna go back in the box." I explain with tears rimming my eyes.
"Don't cry. it's ok. I won't let that happen. I won't let him win. I know you won't let him win. You won't go back in that box Bruce. I promise you that. If you do and that's a big ass if then I'll sit next to you for as long as it takes till you're free. I love you with all my heart. Don't ever think what if with me. I'll only make it difficult." He says making me laugh.
"Ok. Thank you Tony. I love you." I whisper to him as I fall asleep.
"Love you more green bean." Tony says while kissing my head.
END 👏👏👏👏👏
(1) When I was little my mom would pat my bum until I stopped crying. Sound weird but it was soothing. Cut me a break I was 2 when she did it.
