As Hulk and Ben were walking down the street, Hulk was starting to get angry, for two different reasons.
One, people around Hulk and Ben were staring and gawking at them, which made the two of them uncomfortable. Hulk was not particularly sociable with others, so the unwanted attention understandably pissed him off.
Two, Hulk HATED wearing pants again. He spent the last few days being in the buff and it was happiest he had been in a long time. He no longer had to deal with his old, itchy purple pants. But now, he had to wear them again, all because Tony didn't want the public to freak out at the sight of Hulk's giant cucumber. Hulk thought that was stupid, since people were always freaked out by him, but he went along with it in order to avoid any unnecessary conflict.
The only reason Hulk wasn't in an uncontrollable rage at this moment was because of Ben, aka The Thing. If anyone can handle Hulk's anger, it's Ben. The two behemoths fought each other numerous times and neither man was seriously injured. They went from rivals to friends relatively quickly and were now full-time nudists together. Without Ben, Hulk would've destroyed a city block by now.
"Hulk uncomfortable." said Hulk.
"I know. I'm not feeling too great either, but we're getting close to a decent clothing store." said Ben.
"Hulk can't wait to take off pants again, when we get inside store." said Hulk.
After a few more minutes of walking, Hulk and Ben finally found a clothing store that could have the jockstraps that Hulk wanted to wear. The two big men entered the store and immediately, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked right at Hulk and Ben.
In normal circumstances, the store wouldn't allow someone to come in without a shirt or shoes. But because this was Hulk and The Thing, no one said anything because they were worried that if they pissed off the two monstrous men, the whole building would get demolished.
Hulk and Ben walked right up to the customer service desk and the employee looked at them with terror in his eyes.
"May I help you?" the employee asked, hoping the two giants won't kill him.
"Hulk want to buy jockstraps." said Hulk.
"Um, jockstraps are near the back of the store, in the underwear section. You can't miss it." said the employee.
"Okay. Hulk done wearing pants." said Hulk.
And right in that moment, Hulk took off his pants in the middle of the store, with absolutely zero shame, and placed the purple pants on the desk.
Ben looked at the employee and told him, "Sorry. He hates clothes."
As Wade predicted, plenty of people did indeed stare at Hulk's dick and were legitimately mesmerized by it. One guy thought about taking a picture of Hulk's dick, but once Hulk looked at him directly, he quickly changed his hand and ran like there was no tomorrow.
Hulk looked at the jockstraps on the shelf and found a pack with the biggest possible size. Hulk ripped the package open, pulled out a single jockstrap, and tried it on. Hulk thought it felt relatively comfortable and he still felt like he was naked, since his ass was exposed. Although he preferred to be naked, Hulk didn't mind wearing jockstraps. It was better than wearing full-on underwear.
"Bug Man right. Hulk like jockstrap." said Hulk.
Hulk grabbed several packs of jockstraps and he and Ben made their way towards the cash register.
Hulk placed all the packs of jockstraps on the table and said, "Hulk want all of these."
The cashier looked a little shocked, but she still ringed up all the packs and said, "Okay, your total will be $105.47."
Ben gave the cashier a $100 dollar bill and a $10 dollar bill. The cashier then gave Ben his change and put all the packs in a bag. She handed Ben the bag and said, "Thank you for purchasing. Have a good day."
Once Ben and Hulk left the store, Ben asked Hulk, "So, how do you like them?"
"Hulk like being nakey better, but Hulk fine with jockstrap." said Hulk.
"Alright, cool. So, what do you want to do now?" asked Ben.
"Hulk not sure." said Hulk.
"You want to get something to eat?" asked Ben.
"Hulk is hungry, so Hulk want to eat." said Hulk.
"Okay, where do you want to go?" asked Ben.
"Uh, Shawarma?" said Hulk.
"Shawarma Palace? Alright, sounds good. Let's go." said Ben as he and Hulk began to walk to the small New York City restaurant.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter. It's pretty short, but I think it turned out relatively okay. And before you say anything, yes, Shawarma is a callback to the first Avengers movie, which now nearly a decade old…goddamn, where did time go? Anyway, the next chapter will revolve around Hulk and Ben eating at Shawarma palace and having a mini-date of sorts. Other than that, I hope you all have a wonderful day. Bye for now and stay safe.
