Bruce Banner x Assistant!Reader Headcanons
He was terrified of hiring you at first. Constantly keeping a seven-foot distance, flinching if your hands brushed while passing a clipboard.
You won him over by treating him like a brilliant scientist instead of a ticking bomb. Bringing him tea, organizing his chaotic notes, and staying completely calm when he got stressed.
He’d adjust his glasses, look down at you with that shy, tired smile, and stumble over his words whenever you caught him staring across the lab.
It happened after a high-stress experiment went wrong and he was convinced he was going to lose control. You didn't run, you just took his hand and kept talking to him softly until his heart rate dropped.
The moment his heart monitor went back to normal , he looked at you with tears in his eyes and whispered, “why aren't you afraid of me?”
You held his face and kissed his cheek, and he practically melted into your touch. He asked you out on a real date five seconds later, stammering the whole time.
Working together late in the lab is his love language. He loves when you sit on his desk while he reads data, resting his head against your stomach.
Forehead kisses!!! He is a huge fan of gentle, slow affection. He’ll pull off his reading glasses just to pull you in and press a soft kiss to your crown.
Tony constantly teases him about how soft he gets around you , and Bruce just blushes, ducking his head with a little smile because he knows it’s true.
He always makes sure you’re taking care of yourself. “did you eat lunch yet?” or “you’ve been on your feet all day, sit down, I’ll handle the data.”
SO hesitant at first. He’s so afraid of his own strength and hurting you, so he takes things painfully slow until you reassure him that you want him.
Once he lets go? Insane stamina. All those years of controlling his breath and pulse make him ridiculously good at taking his time with you.
Praise kink (both ways!!). He needs you to tell him how good he feels, and he will whisper constant praises into your neck. “so sweet for me, baby...you’re doing so good.”
Heavy worship. He wants to kiss every inch of your body, hands gripping your waist tightly like you’re his anchor in the middle of a storm.
Loves when you take control or sit on his lap while he’s in his lab chair. Seeing you take charge drives him absolutely wild.
