hulk smash

0.5k~ mdni . bruce banner x reader blurb . i have NOTT felt like writing but I've been sitting with this for like a week and would love to do a longer post on it i want him whiney and pathetic thank you!!

to say that he was nervous would be a vast understatement. 

I watched brand new day and was woken up out of my sleep with the idea of bruce banner x reader which is something that never would've crossed my mind previously. 

now I don't know if we're a grad student or a professor alongside Dr. Banner, but hes had your eye for quite some time. and no, it has nothing to do with the fact that hes the hulk or that he used to be an avengers. of course, you do humor him when he makes yet another “hulk smash” joke because that's all anyone seems to want from him.

you don't exactly seduce him, but you do discover rather quickly how forward you're going to have to be with this man if anything is going to happen. 

it takes a minute but you're able to do it.

He's careful. trying to keep his touch light and the contact brief, but you don't have to. banner's hand hovers just over your waist while your arms are wrapped around his neck. he groans hungrily into your lips as you roll your hips against his lap. 

banner is just below average. or the “ideal”. with a thicker girth his dick is about four inches in length and he almost looks shy to be revealing himself like this to you. and truthfully you aren't as ashamed as you thought you'd be to admit how curious you'd gotten about that.

his backs rested against his headboard as you position yourself on top of him.

you both seem to hold a breath as you lower yourself onto him letting out a light laugh that halfway resembled a sigh of relief 

“we'll go slow at first,” you begin as you feel yourself stretching around his length. “and you tell me if you want me to stop or anything.” you hold eye contact “okay?” and hes nodding almost eagerly, but not quite. “yes. of course” he furrows his brows curiously and tilts his chin up ever so slightly before adding “you do know I've done this before?” he asks and now you nod, offering him a small smile with your response. “so have i.” 

he wasn't inexperienced just out of practice and that was no issue. 

After a few minutes the two of you fall into a comfortable rhythm. There were small adjustments, here and there- a quiet “a little faster” or a quick “nono… yesyeah that’s better” along with banner’s easily wandering hands holding you close you find yourself exactly where you want to be. 

On either side of his hips your knees are buried into the plush blue comforter as you ride him, only going faster when you hear those desperate moans fall from his lips. Only when he whimpers into your kiss. Only when he begs, sounding as if he were on the verge of tears. “You’re doing soso good bruce” you drawl out, pressing a sweet kiss to the corner of his mouth and trying not to seem too amused at the way he he pleads for you not to stop. 

With your chests heaving just out of sync and you smile. its cheesy, but you say something about the two of you having chemistry and while he cringes fondly you remind him how science was never really your thing.

The Avengers, pyjamas headcannons- part 2

Part 1 is here as I could only have 10 pictures in 1 post

Bruce- 1st pic, he wears mismatched pyjamas and nothing you say will convince me otherwise. The man is so tired from going 30 hours straight in the lab with Tony, he doesnt have the energy to find the matching bottoms. 2nd pic, he matches with his boyfriend ✨️

Steve- These are both self explanatory. Hes too fucking patriotic. Hes old. I am CONVINCED this man wears some sort of night dress thing with one of those sleep caps.

Tony- its Tony.... yes he walks round strutting and doing jazz hands in his onesie like the first picture

Everyone- Tony's Chrismas present to everyone one year. He thought it was important they "bonded as a team and had a symbol to show their connection and loyalty to one another." No one agreed bit they still wear the pyjamas

[stainedlove]

"he's alone let's get him"

the last thing they'll see:

[4thcharliesangel]

✧˖°. Bruce Banner x Tonysdaughter!Reader Headcanons

Before getting together:

While the others would consider Bruce as more of a shy guy, you knew the truth. Sure hes more of a quiet person but when he really wants something, he gets it.

After moving into the avengers tower, he quickly met you. He knew it was so so wrong to want you. His best friends daughter. So he first tried to supress his attraction to you, even though he was almost sure the feeling was mutual.

But that attraction kept growing every damn day. Seeing you come back all sweaty and glistening from a workout. Or seeing you in the morning with nothing on but a tight top and shorts.

The moment he really then decided he wants and has to have you was one random evening. You were feeding a stray kitten you brought home a few weeks ago (completly against Tonys wishes of course. But how could he deny his princess something she so desperatly wants?) And the way you were so gently talking to her, taking your time to sweetly take care of her? He was completly smitten.

So from then on he tested the waters. Unnecessarily touching you to get past. Reciprocating your longing stares. Helping you with your chemistry homework, even though he knew you were a straight A student and didnt need it.

So one night when no one was home and you were both in your room to study, he finally caved.

Keeping it a secret:

Bruce is the smartest man you know so its easy to hide your relationship from the others. Hes always coming up with a great new excuse or plan to meet up.

The sex is amazing of course. One moment he can be so gentle and sweet. You feel so content and your sure you could never enjoy sex with someone else again after this. Because youll never love anyone as much as him. However he can also be a real freak. He loves to try new things with you. Whether its being more rough or roleplaying as god knows what. Hes open to try anything you want. Says you keep him young jokingly.

Also huge size kink. He may or may not have turned into smart Hulk once or twice just to see how huge he is compared to you.

While he always meditates and would be considered a calm person (unless the other guys out of course), he does get jealous easily, especially since you guys have to hide it. Everytime Tony or Nat make comments about Peters obvious crush on you or even make any try of setting you up, he has to leave the room immideately. You could swear his skin becomes the tiniest shade greener.

You usually fight after. Not because hes mad at you but because hes mad that you guys have to hide. Mad that he cant claim you infront of everybody. Mad you were born too late for him. And then hes mad at himself for even putting you into this situation. Have I mentioned hes a major overthinker? Nevertheless it always ends in makeup-sex.

Besides he still always tries to show his love, even if it has to be in secret. Leaving you cute handwritten notes, neglecting everything else when you need him and always making sure you eat and drink enough. Hes the most thoughtful guy ever.

Although the other ones dont seem to find him too funny, you always had to laugh at his jokes. Alright maybe your just too lovesick to see the reality. Hes just so cute when he tries to be funny!

Lastly he is also the best boyfriend anyone could ever wish for. He really listens to everything you say, cares for you and always gets protective of you. There wasnt a day you werent sure or had to overthink his feelings for you.

My first Bruce Banner x reader yayy!! Please let me know what you think, since english isnt my first language and Ive never written any fanfiction before. I thought Id start off with some light headcanons before creating a whole storyline. Criticism as well as requests are greatly aprecciated! Oh and obviously none of this was made with AI. FUCK AI!

Professor Banner. A brilliant man, who is a great teacher but also dangerously good looking. You took his class last semester and while you didnt get to be in his new one this year, it sure wouldnt hurt to just visit one of his lectures. Besides, this time you werent actually there to learn. No. You had another goal in mind this time around.

After 45 minutes of listening to him passionately talking about his subject, or more so, being in awe of him, class was dismissed. While all the other students got out of the classroom, you stayed. You walk towards his desk, were hes already packing his bag as he noticed you approaching. He says your name suprise.

“What are you doing here? I woudlve noticed you taking my new class! Or did I miss you on my list?“

He sounds excited. Oh yeah you were one of his favourite students last year. Always staying longer after class. Asking questions, debating with him about his answers and him giving you tips on how to become an even better student. Him giving you his charming smiles after. Getting butterflies when he compliments your work. His way with words was so.. reassuring. Calm. Wise. Sexy too. Alright you should stop this. Youre here for a reason. But his whole being just had this captivating aura that sucked you in everytime. You almost forgot why you came.

“Uhh no Im sadly not taking your lectures this semester.. which is actually one of the reasons I came to visit you here.“

“Oh really? Is that so? What is the reason for this lovely suprise then?“

You gulp. Fuck now you have to ask dont you? God this was a stupid idea. Does he look overly happy to see you or are you imagining things? You couldnt really tell. But that doesnt matter now. You were already set on your plan and youre not gonna chicken out now. Why does he have to look that good though?? There he is, looking at you with these kind eyes, waiting for your answer. But before you can overthink this too hard you just splurt it out.

“I was wondering since your not my teacher anymore if youd maybe like to.. you know. meet up outside of uni?“

His smile falters. Oh god. Not only are you too young for him, hes also more like a father figure to you. Which is actually apart of the appeal if you were completly honest. Seems like not to him though. He doesnt answer for a few seconds, which by the way makes you want to rather rip your hair out then stand there longer until - he finally answers.

“Listen kid. I- I truly think you are an amazing young woman. I mean your a pretty, very polite girl and probably one of the smartest students I ever had. But I just cant. You see in what position this would force me into, dont you? Even if youre not my student anymore?“

Of course you knew. The gossip would be everywhere. Not only is the Hulk a teacher, no hes also messing around with students. But you wouldnt tell anyone. Youre just genuinely interested in him and thought the feeling could maybe be mutual. So you had to take your chance. So thats exactly what you told him, while also taking a few steps towards him. Deep in his personal space now. He sucks in a sharp breath trying to keep thinking rational.

“Like I said youre pretty smart. So your assumtion isnt- it isnt wrong. But still we cant. You should look for someone your own age. Im the responsible one here. Im sorry.“

He answers but doesnt back away. No instead he even gets closer. Are you imagining things? No you cant be. He leans in and then you hear him speak in his hot lower voice you imagined a thousand of times before. Only in your fantasies they werent saying this.

“I wish the circumstances would be different. I really do.“

And then he exits the classroom, leaving you all alone.

First ever fanfic yippie!! Let me know what you think/ if you want a part 2 maybe?? Again english isnt my first language and I never wrote fanfics before so criticism as well as requests are appreciated! Ily to whoever reads this, bye :)

So he does want you, hes just responsible? Shouldve figured a so good hearted, sweet man wouldnt wanna go out with his student. But you cant let this opportunity pass by. Even if theres just the slightest hint that he reciprocates your feelings. So you start going after him.

"Professor Banner! Please wait a second!"

Youre usually not the kind of girl who would chase a guy. But he just makes you crazy. Hes already heading down the hallway but turns around after your second attempt at calling him.

"You dont even have to say anything. I'll just.. I'll give you this. So its your choice. Call me if you ever change your mind." You say, taking his hand and giving him the piece of paper with your number on you prepared, holding onto his hand one second longer than necessary while saying "I really hope you do."

You take one last look into his beautiful brown eyes, which are looking at you with such an intensity you never wanna look away again. But you do as you turn around and walk the other way to leave.

Now all thats left is waiting.

-

A few days later you were starting to lose hope. Okay actually exactly 5 days, 6 hours and 19 minutes later. You told yourself if he doesnt call within one week, youd give up. So of course you gotta be exact right?? God youre losing your mind. You cleaned everything there was to clean in your dorm, did everything from your to-do list (besides Banner of course), hell you even asked your professors for more assignments!

So then one evening while working on another one of your extra assignments, youre phone finally starts to ring. You immediatly pick up, introducing yourself.

"Yeah hey kid. This is Bruce. Bruce Banner I mean."

“Oh.. Hey.. soo should I take this as you changing your mind?"

“Even though I hate myself for this.. yes. I just.. cant- I cant stay away from you any longer. Id love to see you on saturday maybe?"

You wanted to scream. But you couldnt scream. Not now at least. Later. Okay. But for now you gotta focus. Even though its hard, since even only hearing his deep voice riles you up.

After making out the details, you were just saying your goodbyes, when he adds something before hanging up.

“Oh and wear something nice for me yeah?"

-

Its finally saturday! Or should you say finally? Since youre literally on the verge of throwing up because of your nerves. Youve been dreaming about this for the last 7 months. Ever since you first saw him in his sexy suit he wore on that first day. The way he took his time to answer all of the questions from the students (even if 90% of them were about the Avengers) made you fall for him immideately. Hes so gentle with everybody but at the same time you also feel like he could be really dominant. Just look at him and his authority. Hes so respected everywhere and you bet he could put someone in his place easily, even without the other guy coming out. And you sure as hell want to see that side of him. He probably gets really protecti-. A knock on the door interrupts another one of your daydreams about him.

Hes here.

Date next chapter?? Maybe even a little smut too? ;) This ones pretty short but the next one will be LONGER. Thanks so much for the feedback on the last one, it really made my day! If you got any other Bruce Banner wishes I'm also taking requests, so feel free to comment them if you have any!! Ily to whoever reads this, bye!!

⋆˚꩜｡ BND!Brucebanner x Student!Reader | Part 3 (smut)

The date went perfect. After he picked you up in his BMW, he took you to get drinks and talked to you for hours. The conversation was flowing and so were the compliments. Him calling you gorgeous, an angel and really complimenting your humor. While he did seem to be rather holding back at the beginning, you were now definetly not questioning his attraction to you anymore. From the first look he gave you when you opened the door in your best dress, to the way he opened the car door for you, to the way he held your hand to guide you through the bar and then didnt pull it away after. The whole time he was so attentive. Fully focusing on you and seeming really interested in you and your life. Of course he payed for everything after. He also woudlve never asked you to come back to his place. Hes too much of a gentleman for that and you mean too much to him, for him to just treat you like that. He also still feels bad about the obvious age gap. And you knew that, so you just took the initiative.

“So you wanna still drink a coffe at your place? I dont want this night to end just yet.“

He couldnt deny you anything when you looked at him with those eyes, so he of course took you to his place. Its was really nice. Huge, with windows everywhere and a calming interior. Clean too. It didnt feel weird at all. The professor student dynamic has gone lost even before the first drink came. You felt comfortable with him.

After sitting on his couch just talking about god knows what, it got late pretty fast. But you guys didnt even notice, even though you were both sober again. You could talk about everything and anything always being on the same wavelength. While talking, you guys subconsiously scooted closer to eachother over time, so now not even a piece of paper could fit between you guys’ legs. Youre just talking about your new lectures, when you notice that Bruce isnt listening anymore. Not fully at least. His gaze drifted towards your lips and stayed there till he forced himself into reality again.

“Im so sorry, you were saying?“ You laugh.

“What where you thinking about?“

“You really wanna know?“ You nod. He comes closer and strokes your hair behind your ear to whisper in it. “Im thinking about what it would be like to let you know what the touch of a real man would feel like.“

You took your chance, so when he tries to pull his head away, you grab him by his cheeks and press your lips onto his. He immideately responds by pulling you ontop of his lap to straddle. It doesnt start off gentle. You are finally able to do what youve both been wanting for months. His hands desperately wander over your body, while you take your hands off his cheeks to bury them in his dark curls. As the makeout continues your need for friction is growing fast so you start to grind on his growing buldge under you. He lets out a suprised moan and grabs your hips to help you push down onto him better. You notice his fingers almost digging into you because he cant control himself. Not when it comes to you. You cant help but whimper with need for more. You break the kiss.

“..Bruce..“

“What is it baby? Use your words.“

“I need more of you. Now.“

You dont need to say anything else. He picks you up and takes you up the stairs to his bedroom. Youre sure it looks just as impressing as the other parts of his house but you cant take a good look around, too focused on kissing- no devouring him. In contrast to your primal behaviour he lays you down very gently, taking his place over you while continuing to kiss you. Youve never felt like this before. Youve never been this wet before. The wait is killing you so you start opening his belt first to not interrupt your kiss. Bruce helps you by taking his pants off first and then getting you out of your dress. Before you can undress the rest of him he just stops everything to take you in fully. Just in your underwear you start to feel kinda unsure under his hungry stare.

“Be a good girl and take off your underwear for me.“

You take a second to realize what hes asking for still confused by his change in demeanor. But of course you do what the asks you to do. Who could deny him anything? As you undress yourself fully it feels like hes the only other person in this world. Youre fully captivated by his stare. And the way hes biting his lips while doing so.

“Youre so perfect.“

And you can tell he meant it. When he takes off his last piece of clothing, his shorts, you cant help but be the one to stare now. First off you notice how masculine he looks. His manly arms and chest just get you. He looks a thousand times better than in your imagination. Then you look down. Just above average and thick. So thick youre getting a little scared. As if seeing it in your eyes he takes a second to gently caress your hips while saying “You sure you want this baby? I’ll start off gentle yeah?“ When you nod, almost frantically he smirks and says “Alright then. Spread.“

While you follow his order, he takes two of his big rugged fingers into his mouth to moisten them before pushing them both into you. You take a sharp breath in. Bruce then leans down towards your core to start liking your clit. Only then he starts slowly moving his fingers. You cant contain your moans even though you try to keep quiet. Hes not even inside yet and you already know its the best sex you ever had. You dont even know what hes doing with his tounge right now, you just know that hes skilled. You brain becomes a foggy mess of moaning and whimpering. As he moves faster he starts to look up. He wants to see you unravelling. Oh god he has the most gorgeous eyes ever and with this look. This dangerous look hes giving you. The eye contact is killing you. You swear you could just come from this alone. But then he stops. He removes your fingers from your cunt and pushes them into your mouth instead, so you can taste yourself.

“Yeah lick my fingers clean. Youre such a good fucking girl arent you? Youd do anything for me, wouldnt you?“

You nod eager to please him. He then replaces them with his mouth again, kissing you like youre his lifeline. He starts lining himself up with you and then slowly dives into you. Holy shit. Youve never been this full before. He stays inside of you for a while, not moving. As he kisses you again you put your arms around eachother just making out. But youre becoming impatient.

“Please. Im ready now“ You practically beg.

But were you? When he starts moving, even if it was slow, you had to press your eyes shut. He tries to soothe you with kisses and sweet nothings before going faster. You still held and kissed eachother deeply as the pain starts to mix with pleasure. It was the most romantic thing of your life. You felt like for the first time a man didnt only think about himself. No it was the complete opposite. His attention was on you and you alone. Here and there he left some groans but you knew he was close when he started whimpering and moaning out your name. You fingersnails started to dig into his back while you also felt yourself getting closer. His right hand finds your clit again and starts putting pressure on it. Hes moving almost rough now, his speed picking up.

“Im so close Bruce please“

“I know baby. Me too. Come for me yeah? Dont hold back I need to hear you.“

So you both let go, holding so intense eyecontact you thought your heart would explode. Hes still so close to you in that kinda hug your laying in. When you both come down he just rests his forehead against yours, closing his eyes. You then share the sweetest most loving kiss of your life before he says

“You know you cant get rid of me now right? Youre mine.“

First time writing smut kinda nervy. I’ll get better with practice I promise. And bruh idk anything about cars but come on. This is Bruce Banner. Hes rich asf. So we gotta get a bit bougee. This was the last part of this short series but dont worry. More Bruce Banner is coming. If only you could take a look into my drafts..Again taking requests! Ily to whoever reads this, bye! :D

Boy’s Working On Empty | A Bruce Banner Fic Teaser

Synopsis: Bruce is late to get home. Again.

Warnings: None!

A/N: The promised fic teaser! This is GN!reader x Bruce Banner :)) Yes this title is from Hozier’s Work Song, sue me. When published, the full fic will be linked here. Likes, comments, and reblogs super appreciated! It lets me know what to write for y’all next! Divider by @uzmacchiato!

It was late. Late enough that the stickiness in the summer air had begun to subside, giving way to a cool breeze blowing through your window that would soon be chilled further by a light rain if the notification from your weather app was correct. Late enough that you considered your yawns reminded you ought to go to bed soon, rather than a nuisance of a natural human reflex.

But you were missing someone at the moment.

You glanced over to Bruce’s side of the bed with a sigh, before grabbing your phone from your nightstand, and unplugging it. You’d rather be comfortable than do what was technically the smart thing and let it keep charging while you used it.

You rolled onto your side and checked your texts, disappointed to see you hadn’t happened to miss a ‘on my way home’ message. You took a glance at his location while you were at it, and breathed out another sigh. He was still at work. Of course he was. Probably bent over his desk like a shrimp, glasses hanging on for dear life on the edge of his nose.

It was hard to break him out of a zone when he was in it. Or an obsessive spiral. There was an equal chance he was in either state.

You made a face at the thought, momentarily debated the consequences of interrupting him, then moved forward with it and called him. It rang a few times before going to voicemail, his prerecorded message playing in your ear as you pinched the bridge of your nose.

You were halfway through leaving your own when he finally picked up.

“—I hope you’re still there, uh—I-hello—“

“Bruce?”

“Yes, hi—sorry I didn’t pick up, I was in the middle of solving something—but I’m here now—“ he laughed apologetically. He could practically picture him nervously rubbing the back of his neck too.

“Well, you’re not, actually—“

“I mean I’m talking to you right now—“

“It’s nearly eleven o’clock, Bruce, and I’m alone in our bed—“

There was a long pause, “Oh. That’s what you—“

“Yep, that’s what I mean. Are you planning on coming home any time soon?” You walked towards the bathroom, an arm on your hip.

“Well—“

“Bruce—“ you cut him off, tone firm.

He sighed, disassembling the excuse he’d been crafting. “No.”

“Can I ask why?”

“I just thought I could get a little farther tonight—“

“I know how long each equation takes you, so there really is no ‘little farther’ without you losing an hour, sweetheart—“

“…How did you know I was doing equations?” He asked after a brief pause.

“If you’re staying late, it’s usually equations.” You chuckled, leaning against the doorframe. “And that’s not going to do.”
