Bruce/Tony QPR... brucetony queer platonic relationship...please...please does anyone hear me...and they kiss cuz I said so
"And Tony's bringing his boyfriend"
"How dare you. I'm not dating Bruce"
"Oh...I thought—nevermind, Tony's bringing his friend"
"How dare you"
And no Tony would not elaborate. Bruce would elaborate but nobody would understand him. The only people who understand are Bruce and Tony themselves but only 1/3 of the time + whenever they're drunk and pressed against each other talking about how they'd decorate their future house
Beach Day: Bruce tries to boost Tony's spirits with a day at the beach (Art)
This art was created for the @tonystarkbingo to the prompt R2: Bruce Banner. I thought it would be a fun way to show Bruce trying to encourage Tony to have a little fun and enjoy the day together. As always please feel free to click on the image to see it in higher quality :) The top one is a more cropped in image where as the bottom has more of the background in it :)
Tony doesn’t even bother knocking anymore. He just pushes the door open and flops onto Bruce’s bed face-first, voice muffled against the pillow.
“Okay, bugboy. Tell me about your friends so I can finally get some rest.”
Bruce looks up from the book he’s been reading —something boring Tony doesn't even bother looking at— and raises a brow. “Yeah, I've got you. Which ones?”
Tony waves a hand from the comforter without lifting his head. “Dealer’s choice. Moths or something. I don’t really care. Make it boring enough to knock me out.”
Bruce snorts, sets the book aside, and thinks for a moment. “Actias selene,” he says finally, voice low and even.
Tony rolls onto his side, eyes half-open. “Gesundheit.”
“It’s an Indian moon moth,” Bruce explains, undeterred. “One of the larger silk moths. Wingspan’s about—” he holds his hands apart, “—four to seven inches, give or take. Pale green, with these little eyespots that make them look like they’re glowing in moonlight.”
“Mm,” Tony hums, eyes already starting to droop.
“They only live for a week after they emerge,” Bruce continues softly. “They don’t even have mouths. Their whole life as an adult is just… finding a mate, laying eggs, and then they’re done. Everything they need to survive, they built up as a caterpillar.”
Tony mumbles something that sounds like “that’s depressing,” but his voice is already fading.
Bruce smiles faintly. “I don’t think so. They spend all that time preparing for this one short, perfect moment. It's kinda beautiful.”
He glances over at Tony. Dead asleep. His breathing has evened out, one arm curled under the pillow.
Bruce shakes his head, amused, and reaches over to pull the blanket over him, just enough to keep him from getting cold.

shipping brucetony/stanner while also shipping winteriron is a little funny. cheapskate multibillionaire tony stark who can't stop exclusively getting BOGO deals on his boyfriends (they are both systems)
