Lunch could not have come fast enough for our young Bruce Banner. Wacky enough, Bruce and Tony did have the same exact schedule for the entire day. Unfortunately, Bruce was beginning to tire of his new "friend".
"In all seriousness though, Bruce, I believe that our art teacher is an absolute idiot. How in the world did she believe that that crudely drawn circle is perfect? She was probably just being nice because the dude was a football player. I never really understood women's fascination with jocks. I mean, most aren't even smart. And if they are somewhat smart, they are popping brain cells every second at practice getting hit around," Tony rambled, eyes flitting like usual from person to person asthey headed to the cafeteria. "Most of those sports don't teach you how to fight properly. Those jocks lose patience and build up too much adrenaline and aggressive mindsets to be beneficial to society. I believe sports are the whole reason we have things such as bullies. That and parents who are stupid as well."
"TONY!" Bruce stopped two feet from the lunch hall.
"Yes?" Tony also paused, his eyes finally focusing on his companion. "What? Did I say something wrong? And by that I mean, did I say something offensive? I'm rarely if ever wrong. Also, the things I said were meant for jocks and imbeciles which you are neither."
Bruce scoffed."How do you know I'm not a jock? I could be a wrestler or something."
Tony's eyes jerked up and down Bruce's body. "Uh, Bruce? You seem to be forgetting that you have no athleticism in you whatsoever. Come on." He began striding towards the lunchroom.
"Fine! Track!" Bruce yelled following quickly behind.
"Bruce, the fattest girls could probably run circles around you." Tony glanced at the lunch line in disgust.
"You're exaggerating." Bruce picked up a tray and selected some of the foods Tony had just been scrutinizing.
"Obviously." Tony turned to more interesting matters by looking out over the seating in the lunch room. "Where to sit? By girls? No, I don't want them sniveling on my shoulder when they realize they're douchebag boyfriends are in fact douchebags. Geeks with trading cards? Pass for obvious reasons. Jocks? No way in hell. Student Council? Maybe.."
Bruce handed the lunch lady a paper for his lunch. Tony peeked at what it said: Exempt – Free Lunch.
"So where do you live, Bruce?" Tony lead Bruce to a table where a bunch of advanced students sat judging by their books. However,, instead of sitting there, he took a circular table nearby.
Bruce blushed. "Nowhere special."
"Yeah, but where?" Tony took out his boxed lunch complete with a bottle of mineral water, professional roast beef, a baked potato warmed by a little machine, and fruit salad with kiwi, strawberries, bananas, and pineapple.
Bruce pushed his mystery meat around his tray. "Drop it, okay?" he snapped.
Tony held up his hands in surrender. "Alright, another time then." He snatched Bruce's tray away, dumping it into the garbage can.
Bruce stood up fast. "What the hell?!"
"You're not eating that crap. It just screams diarrhea and food poisoning. Have some of mine." He pushed the contents of his lunch towards Bruce.
Bruce grumbled, "I don't take charity."
"It isn't charity. This is something a friend would do or at least that's what my mother tells me. She's a bit more socially apt than I, so I took her word for it." Tony popped a kiwi slice into his mouth.
"You've never had a friend?"Bruce asked kind of shocked. He'd had friends, but always found it was easier to be by himself.
Tony shrugs. "Does the butler count? Probably not, he's a dick anyway. I bet I could build a better one for crying out loud."
I know! I haven't posted since last year. I was planning on posting every week, but then I thought my story was one would like it. I revisit the story and BOOM! people like it. I apologize, and I hope I will get better self confidence wise so I can continue with this story. Please remember to review. I can't continue without feedback! Thank you to those of you who have followed, favorited, and reviewed. Also! If you know of any fun and slightly advanced experiments the boys could do, they could be incorporated into the story. They're adventures will be coming up soon!
