“Look, I just want to start out by telling you to keep calm, okay?” Tony wasn’t exactly sure how to broach this topic with Bruce, but he could tell as soon as the words left his mouth that he hadn’t chosen the right way.
“Don’t tell me to keep calm!” Bruce’s voice hadn’t taken on those deeper notes yet. That was good. That was something. “Unless there’s something I should know? Is there a reason I wouldn’t be?”
“Well, I mean. I… I kind of have to go back in to see the doctor. The cardiologist. He said something popped up on the echo, and he needs another look.”
Bruce was silent for a long time. And if Tony knew him, he was running every single possibility through his mind.
“But it’s not bad? He just… doesn’t know?” Bruce asked.
“I mean, he wants to open me up and have a look. To be completely honest with you, I’m not entirely sure how that could turn out not bad. I mean. What’s the best case scenario? Their screen had a smudge on it?” Tony’s blood started rushing in his ears, and Bruce reached out to slip his arm around him.
His hand squeezed Tony’s shoulder before he spoke. “Maybe you should come to sit down. Do some deep breathing, calm you down, and we can research it further?”
Tony nodded, and Bruce quietly turned him around, walking towards the living room.
