" Wow. Clint wasn't kidding. Look at that Bruce, this website is entirely dedicated to you and me. "
"What are you talking about?" He replied nonchalantly, his eyes still focused on his work.
"Yeah, c'mon', have a look." The scientist made his way to his friend. "The science bros. That's what they call us."
Bruce's eyebrows jumped up as he pointed an illustration of them kissing. "Well, I don't see how these are brothers."
"It's bromance, Bruce."
"Let me tell you, the words brother and romance put together, it just sounds wrong to me."
Tony kept exploring, scrolling through fan arts while Bruce returned calmly to his task.
"We are not actually brothers, aren't we? So I guess it's ok."
The scientist chuckled, half concentrated on the screen in front of him.
"Oh wow. There is a 'smut stories' section. That is hot. Ever had sex with another guy Bruce?"
"I am so not going to have this conversation with you." Bruce kept on working his fingers on the hologram he'd created a few minutes ago.
He was equally relieved and surprised when Tony actually did stop talking.
Half an hour later, Bruce walked passed his friend to reach one of the lab's equipment. He glanced at Tony's screen.
"You've got to be kidding me. Are you actually reading that stuff?"
"Indeed, I am." Tony didn't turn away from his reading.
"Don't you have better things to do?" Bruce was now looking into a microscope, adjusting the focus as he talked.
"Depends on how you define the word 'better'. I'm enjoying myself here."
Bruce's eyes flashed up to Tony. "What? What do you mean you're enjo-"
Tony stood up, his body facing Bruce from across the work table. "I am enjoying, Bruce."
The scientist glanced at the far too obvious hard on Tony was clearly not intending to hide from him. "Oh." Bruce expression shifted to an undecided and confused face. "Are you, hum, bisexual or something?"
"You said you weren't going to discuss this with me. I respect that." Tony sat back to his screen.
"Well, now I feel like I ought to know."
Tony just ignored him. Bruce moved silently to Tony's back, looking at the screen over his shoulder. He bent to approach his friend's ear and made his voice as husky as he could. "And you're going to just keep reading this like a freakin' teenager, Tony?"
Bruce walked slowly towards the exit. Tony had turned quickly on his chair.
"Bruce? Does this mean I should follow you right now?"
"Yes, it does." His tone was amused; he didn't turn before the doors closed behind him.
Bruce was standing in Tony's refined private bathroom. The shower was running.
Tony entered and stepped toward Bruce seductively.
"Wow, Bruce. That is so straightforward. I am dazzled."
"Take your clothes off." Bruce held still and calm, a small grin on his lips.
"Mh. Is that a stripping game?" Tony took his shoes and socks off. "Are we going to play Doctor?" Then his shirt. "I like that." Then eventually his pants came off along with his boxers. "You surprise me every day Doctor Banner."
He was entirely naked and evidently still enjoying himself. Bruce bit his lip, looking at the other man from head to toes. "Get in."
Tony walked towards the shower to do so. "Mh, you don't want me to see you undressing is that it? Or you're the kind who likes to watch first…"
He took a few more blind steps backward to enter the shower while his eyes were still locked on Bruce's burning stare.
"Bruce, you are so s-GODDAMMIT. It's cold!" He threw himself at the faucet.
The scientist's grin grew wider. "I know" He replied, as he left the room.
"You are so going to pay for this Bruce!" The billionaire promised loud enough so his friend could not miss that warning.
