The following morning, Bruce woke up in the bed he shared with Tony, still wearing the clothes he fell asleep in. He put a button-down shirt on over the tee shirt then a jacket. Then he put on a pair of dress socks and his favorite (only) loafers. "I'm ready to go."

"What about packing?" asked Tony.

"Didn't Pepper tell you? I packed last night." Bruce put his toothbrush and solid deodorant into the pocket with the prayer beads. "All set."

"Bacteria don't like you, so your teeth don't rot and your armpits don't smell."

"Food does get trapped in my teeth and I sweat as much as anyone else."

"But it doesn't smell."

"I sweat and, even if I didn't, I would pack it to keep up appearances."

"Did you use deodorant when you were saving pennies to buy a potato or a cauliflower?"

"Of course not."

"Then it's a luxury."

"I lived alone in India. I don't know what my living arrangements will be in Bangladesh. You have money to burn and you are talking about my deodorant."

"I deal with space limitations with my suit. You keep what you can't live without and everything else stays on the drawing board. You can use the backpack space for something you actually need." Tony explained. "Rhodey has a cannon on his right shoulder when the pulsars will shot down almost anything. It throws the Mark IV off balance and it is overkill."

Bruce's knowledge of military weapons was a thing shot the Hulk, which usually led to the Hulk destroying said thing and killing the soliders firing it, but that didn't mean Bruce's new husband had to belittle him by saying a cannon when Tony knew the specifications. "Then what would you pack?"

"Snacks," said Tony. "Something useful."

"The deodorant stays."

"You'll want the snacks. No one may have blueberries for you to mooch off of."

Bruce stuck his tongue out.

"No sticking it out unless you plan to use it."

"Sorry, but we have a plane to catch. I'll owe you."

Since it was a private plane, Bruce didn't own Tony for long and went down on him inflight. Afterward, Tony said, "I'm going have to visit because I'm going to so miss your amazing tongue."

"No other reason?" Bruce batted his eyelashes.

"Your smile, your brown eyes, That behind of yours."

"You are so beautiful," said Bruce. "Especially when you go to a news conference with helmet hair."

Tony pushed down his hair. "I make it look good."

Sandy met Bruce at the small private airport with a hug. "Curly hair. Medium build, no scars and doesn't look gay."

Bruce gave Tony a good-bye kiss on the cheek. "You promise to visit."

"I'll use the GPS to find you, even if you get so busy that you forget to call," said Tony.

"Talking about GPS. We're going to need a jeep then a boat to get where we're going," said Sandy. "Martha say you crossed Mexico and Central America by foot so are used to roughing it on rugged terrain."

Bruce nodded.

"Martha walked across the world once or so she claims since no one else can remember it," said Sandy.

"The children that I vaccinated only remember me as some American doctor," said Bruce. "But I'm here to help people, not to be remembered."

"People are going to know you as Mr. Stark's husband," said Sandy.

"Not really," said Bruce. "I don't know what Elton John's husband looks like and Sir Elton is much more famous than my husband."

"He is not," said Tony.

Bruce gave Tony a hug and a brief kiss. "Be good."

"Never," said Tony. "Honey, I'll see you soon."

Bruce followed her to the jeep and jumped on board.

Sandy said, "You better have nothing breakable in that backpack."

"I have my laptop and coffee mug, but they're well-cushioned."

A month nearly went by before, Tony visited. All the villagers ran over to see Ironman. After getting out of his suit, Tony signed autographs. Placing an arm around Bruce, Tony kissed him on the cheek. "You educating women about reproductive health?"

"Sandy is, but I keep all the computer records and go to town for supplies," said Bruce.

"And he cooks," said Sandy.

"I proposed to him after he made me dinner for the first time," said Tony.

"I would love for him to stay on after Martha and Mickey's wedding," said Sandy.

"Bruce doesn't stay put for very long," said Tony. "I had to put a tracking device on him."

"I'm not a puppy dog," said Bruce.

"Your phone," said Tony. "I put one on you and one of my enemies could find you and make you a hostage. I already went through that with Pepper. I want you safe."

"I never know when he is serious or joking then everything is a joke to him." Bruce invited Tony into the hut.

Tony sat on Bruce's bed.

"Don't worry," said Sandy. "We have our own beds."

"Bruce doesn't see women that way," said Tony. "You can undress in front of him and he wouldn't notice."

"I freaked the first time he changed his clothes in front of me," said Sandy. "I didn't expect someone married to the Tony Stark to be so laid-back."

"When we met, Tony tried to rattle my calm," said Bruce.

"I couldn't," said Tony.

"He chants over his prayer beads for hours," said Sandy. "Then you know that."

"I'm an atheist," said Tony. "When I teased him about the Dalia Lama, he told me I went too far."

"Some things aren't a joke," said Bruce.

Sandy said, "What did you say?"

"I can't tell you," said Tony.

Bruce said, "It was offensive."

Tony walked over to Sandy and said, "I'll tell you sometime when Bruce isn't listening."

"Like that is going to happen?" said Sandy. "I think he can hear everything that is going on even when he's chanting."

Bruce winked at her. "Part of my mind can and does."

"Does he mean to be creepy?" asked Sandy.

"He comes by it naturally." Tony recalled Bruce saying he used the alias Gomez because of Gomez Addams. "He told the contractors working on my building that he was Gomez."

Sandy was must have been too young to get the reference.

Bruce started walking outside to make dinner. "Now you can talk about me and I won't have to pretend I don't hear you."

Tony ran outside. "Where is the fun in that?"

After dinner, Bruce said, "You can stay the night. I can sleep on the floor."

"I can't put you out." Tony gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "Sandy, I'd like some alone time with Mrs. Stark."

Sandy left the hut.

"Honey, you can check my hands or I can wear gloves." Tony gave Bruce his hands.

Bruce looked over Tony's fingers. "I love you." Then Bruce kissed Tony's knuckles. "Your skin is broken in a few places. You can wear gloves or I can give you a blowjob."

"I'm not going to become another Blonsky over a papercut," said Tony.

"We don't know that. You have cuts and if my rectum tears - I don't want to think about it. Please, we're talking about your safety. "

"Abraham Erskine had said the serum makes you more you," explained Tony. "You always had a problem with adrenaline. Dr. Stern's brain got bigger and more powerful. And Blonsky was always a monster. When I'm dying, I'll look into that option, but not now. You can give me a blowjob. On your knees, bitch."

After kneeling down, Bruce unzipped then pulled down Tony's jeans. Then Bruce pulled down Tony's boxer shorts, remembering what he did in this alley in Vancouver, As he sucked on Tony's dick, he failed at maintaining his calm and started crying.

Tony started patting Bruce's head and whispered, "Don't cry. I was joking. Please, don't cry."

Bruce stopped the tears and focused on pleasing his husband. This was his husband. This wasn't a john - a stranger that could hurt him, making the other guy hurt people. He pushed Tony's dick out of his mouth and started licking it. No cuts on Bruce's mouth or Tony's dick making chance of blood-to-blood contact minimal. Feeling a bit better, he sucked on Tony's dick until Tony came.

"I love you," Bruce cried, pulling Tony's shorts up.

Tony kissed the top of Bruce's head. "I would never infect myself on purpose. I would be the third person infected by you and that is so not me. I'm an original. I'm not a follower."

"Never even suggest such a thing," said Bruce.

"The trouble is I know the option is there." Tony redid his own jeans.

Still on his knees, Bruce looked up at Tony. "What bothers me more is I would bleed on you to save your life."

There was a knock on the door. After Bruce let her in, Sandy said, "I'm sorry. I overheard a little. Are you infectious?"

"Only blood-to-blood contact," said Bruce. "You see the patients. I do the paperwork. So it shouldn't be a problem."

"I guess not." Sandy sat on her bed. "How could bleeding on someone save a life?"

"You don't want to know," said Bruce.

Sandy said, "You look healthy."

"We'll talk after Tony leaves." Bruce didn't know what he could say to Sandy, but he now had time to figure something out. "I haven't seen my husband in a month."

Sandy went outside, again.

Hugging Bruce, Tony said, "Thanks for the dinner and the blowjob. I know you wouldn't mind sleeping on the floor, but I would feel bad."

"Stay," said Bruce. "I know it's just a cot, but neither of us is Thor. We could both fit. I shared a dorm bed with Betty plenty of times."

"And if a patient walks in to see two men sharing a bed?" asked Tony.

"You're my husband," said Bruce. "They know I'm gay. They all joke about the fact that I rather look at a computer monitor than a naked woman."

"Because you change into the other guy, you rather look at a blank computer monitor than porn to avoid sexual arousal."

"I just gave you a blowjob."

"And you didn't need a shot because you didn't get aroused. I like that you want to please me and you do. I just want you to be happy, too."

Bruce touched Tony's face. "I'm very happy you came to see me. I get to wrap my body around yours tonight. What more could I want?"

Tony put a hand on Bruce's shoulder. "I wish I could give you more."

As he touched Tony's well-groomed facial hair, Bruce started crying, tears of joy. A man who could have anyone on the planet - movie stars, athletes, models - married him - a monster. "You give me too much as it is."
