Tony took Bruce to a small but nice hotel. The kitchen staff already had brought up food and wine, so the honeymoon couple wouldn't need to dress for room service. Bruce missed his inflight meal, so he happily munched on a pastry while Tony popped open the champagne and poured it into two glasses. The full size bed was nice and the room was clean, but it wasn't four-star.
"This hotel isn't your style," said Bruce.
"Big hotels have big lobbies with people asking for autographs," said Tony. "This is much more private."
Bruce took another bite of pastry. "Private is good."
"Put down your danish for a moment." Tony handed Bruce a glass of champagne. "To you and enjoying your company for many years to come."
Bruce smiled. "I'll drink to many happy years."
Tony clinked Bruce's glass with his. "Many happy years."
After the pastries and champagne, they had some mind-blowing sex. Since they didn't have Jarvis monitoring Bruce's vitals, Bruce told Tony when to give him the injection. Bruce had turned a bit green before the shot took affect but neither the hotel room or Tony was harmed.
Bruce looked at his ring finger afterward. "I broke my wedding band."
"I should have a welding kit somewhere." Tony found his welding kit in a drawer. "You never know when something will need fixing." He took the ring from Bruce and added a bit of solder, making the ring whole and a bit bigger. "We'll need to electroplate over the solder, but it's good for now."
After the solder cooled, Bruce put the ring back on then kissed Tony's cheek. "Thanks."

Mickey and Martha had a church wedding and their reception was in a rented hall. After kissing the bride, Bruce walked over to Jack.
"Can we talk a second?" asked Bruce.
"Why did you shave?" said Jack. "You look more like you with facial hair."
"I shaved for the wedding. I forgot to pack a razor because Tony was on my case about wasting space packing deodorant and a toothbrush since he considers himself an expert on managing space limitations." Bruce had a beard when he met Jack. It was odd thinking about his future as past tense. What did that say about freewill? Jack was in England in 1869 after meeting Bruce in the future. Did that mean Bruce's life was fixed in time? Could Bruce cause his meeting with Jack not to occur or was the future fixed?
"No questions about the future."
Bruce had hundreds of questions about the future, but now wasn't the place. "A question about something else we have in common. Do you pack toiletries to keep us appearances?"
"No, but I don't feel the need to hide that I'm immortal," said Jack. "I do a lot of things I don't need to do either because I enjoy them or they make me feel more human. Do what makes you happy?"
"Then the toothbrush and deodorant stays," said Bruce.
"Bruce, I'm not immortal when I met you. In fact, I'm kind of a jerk. Don't tell me that I become immortal or anything else about my future. I hope we met again in this time line. Now that I no longer have a time machine, I travel in a straight line same as you." Jack took Bruce's hand. "What happened to your ring?"
"During sex, I took my medication a bit later than I usually do because I didn't have any external monitoring of my vital signs," explained Bruce. "It's nothing."
"Is another guy really sharing your body or is the other guy just another part of you?"
Bruce said, "I don't really know."
Jack let go of Bruce's hand. "You will be living with him for a very long time and, since you share a body, you don't get holidays off or even time-outs. I think you should try to figure that out. My humble opinion, your mileage may vary."
After a sit-down dinner, Bruce and Tony held hands as they watched Martha and her father dance. Then Martha danced with Mickey. Soon other people joined the happy couple on the dance floor.
Tony asked, "Do you want to dance?"
"My drip had side-effects - big green ones - so it's back to the drawing board," said Bruce.
Tony put his hand in his pocket. "I bought the anti-Epi-pen."
"Thanks," said Bruce. "But I'll sit this one out for now. Maybe, later."
Later, Martha asked him, "Would you like to dance?"
Tony said, "All his dances belong to me."
Bruce stood. "Tony?"
"Honey, do you want me to lead?" Tony asked, taking Bruce's hand.
Bruce nodded.
Tony led Bruce to the floor and held him in his arms as they swayed to the music and Bruce tried to follow Tony's feet without spending the whole time looking down. He told himself to feel Tony and move when he moves. The music and movement were very relaxing. Looking into Tony's eyes, Bruce let his feet follow Tony's feet.
"Have you ever danced before?" asked Tony.
"Not really," admitted Bruce.
"You're more bumping into my toes than stepping on my feet," said Tony.
"Holding you is nice," said Bruce.
"We'll practice dancing at home. We have balls to attend - only if you want to. As I said before, Pepper or Rhodey can be my plus-one whatever it is too much for you."
The music stopped.
"I married you in New York," Bruce said. "We wouldn't have been able to get married even in California. In Bangladesh, you can get thrown in jail for being gay and the death penalty is on the books. Dancing with you in public is important."
Tony led Bruce back to the table. "We should stick to slow dances for now to keep your heart from racing and the excitement to a minimum."
"Agreed." Bruce held Tony's hand. "According our time traveling friends, it will eventually be a non-issue. I'm all for doing my part to make that happen. I'm going to improve my pump, but being able to delay the other guy appearance to after a function is huge." Bruce thought about Tony calming the Hulk and, if the Hulk was another person, he needed time out. If he was just a part of Bruce, then Bruce needed the emotional release that the Hulk gave him. Either way, his mental health depended on letting the other guy out regularly. "We need to be seen in public as a couple."
When it was time to catch the bouquet, Martha asked for all the single ladies and Jack to line up. She didn't ask Ianto Jones, no relation to Martha, Jack's Significant Other, to join the ladies in catching the bouquet. Then Martha probably only knew him through Jack or just met him today. Martha's sister, Tish, caught the bouquet. Everyone waved good-bye as Mickey and Martha left for their honeymoon.
Tony said, "Let's go back to our hotel room and do more honeymooning."
"You don't have to say that twice."
