        There’s a flash in front of his vision, not something he’s expecting. Bruce had been left out of this mission, waiting on the jet on the off-chance they ended up needing him. They had advocated to SHIELD to have him on standby more than active in battles, saving his energy and mind. So it wasn’t a quick, all-encompassing flash of green before him, no...it wasn’t Hulk, it was Bruce. Prone, fragile, too-loving Bruce. “Bruce!” Tony yells out, all too late, obviously. Bruce is hit. Hard. Sure, he could heal through a transformation into big green. Sure, nothing had killed him yet. But Tony knew all too well the man still felt pain. That goddamn, self-sacrificial idiot...

“You know me,” he said, offering the hot mug of tea handle first so Bruce could take it more easily. “I don’t need much. Sleep is for the weak, right?” he joked, smirking.

        “No I don’t.” Is Tony’s immediate response, a pout forming on his lips as his arms cross over his chest. He realizes how incredibly childish it is. How he is. But... Okay. He didn’t have an argument there. Just another result of his stressful day. He sighs, letting his arms fall before eventually speaking. “...Okay. Maybe I do. Maybe. But...only if it’s from you. And you’re offering.” Geez. How much of a loser could he sound like? “You’re offering. Gimme.” He says, pouting still as he held his arms out.

The smirk dimmed after a few moments for dramatic emphasis to a small but serious smile. “But in all seriousness, I will always have your back and I just wanted you to know that.”

Tony curled up over him, then fell back down, shivering all over in the best way. Their left hand stayed firmly in Bruce's hair, holding on, but not directing. The noise they made was something between a moan and a whine. "Bruce..."

Pepper gripped his hair tightly. Possessively, demandingly. She wrapped a leg around his neck and tugged him even closer as she rolled her hips into his tongue. "Bruce... That's my good boy, faster."

        “Oh, I’ll have you several ways before we’re done here tonight, Brucie. But for now...just lay back. I want you nice and relaxed, honey.” Tony answered, eyes lit with excitement and smirk bright with delight.
