“Can we not talk about this right now?” Bruce asked, in a quiet but strained tone.
“When‘s a good time for you?” Anthony asked, not able to watch anything but Bruce’s knees at the moment.
“Never sounds good.” Bruce almost mumbled his reply into the machine.
“Funny, now works best for me, you don’t look that busy so…”
The wrench Bruce was using slipped and made a harsh clanking sound that echoed around his head under the machine he was working on, and hit his thumb.
“Anthony!” Bruce seemed to say his name in place of swearing about the momentary throbbing pain.
He was getting aggravated. Anthony could tell, but that was part of the point. Bruce sighed and wheeled the platform he was laying on out from under the obstacle so he could look at Anthony; and gave him a look that asked what his problem was. Anthony seemed to shrink -just the tiniest bit- at his annoyance, but pressed on.
“It’s just been a long time, that’s all. I…” Anthony had seemed to get over being sheepish about what he wanted quite soon into their relationship, but he still blushed a little now.
“Tony, he’s dangerous. We don‘t need him right now, so let it be.”
“Don’t need him… So he’s just a tool to be used when we need him? Bruce, he‘s you. He…” Anthony himself was starting to feel angry.
“It’s not… It doesn’t work like that.” Bruce said, reminding himself to speak quietly, as he climbed to his feet.
He walked over to the tool rack and placed the wrench back in the top of a drawer. He went about wiping his hands clean -or as clean as he could- in a slow methodical way, pacing slowly and glancing around; anywhere except at Anthony. On some level, he was thankful for Anthony’s words, telling him he -every part of him- was worth more than just being useful, that he was angry about people trying to use him, even Bruce himself. He could not shake his annoyance though. It was a nice sentiment, but it also made it plain that Anthony did not trust him to know himself, or his own limits, not entirely. It was as though Anthony was saying that he understood him and his predicament better than Bruce himself did. More than that, lately, it almost sounded like Anthony had pledged some sort of allegiance to his alter ego that he was not aware of, trying to gave them each fair amounts of attention. What was worse was that the first time he had brought it up had been in bed. He did not want to think that he was being outperformed by his alter ego, and did not want to slip up and voice that suspicion to Anthony, therein implying that his friend’s problem was that he was just horny. He really did not think he would appreciate that.
“I’m, ah, hungry… I’m going to go eat.” Bruce said, dismissing himself from the workshop before Anthony could start up with his argument, throwing the rag down too hard for it to be casual.
Anthony could not believe how difficult he was still being over this, but let him go, planning his next approach, not wanting this to actually become a fight. He was getting worried. He knew that the hulk did not like being repressed for very long, and he did not think it healthy for Bruce. More than that, he missed him. The hulk was as much a part of his friends as his Dr. Banner was, and he had not seen that part of him for some time now. Bruce was not entirely wrong in his suspicions either; he was also coming to miss the larger warm hands and everything else that came with them.
~*~A note from the author:Well, two more chapters to go. They're short, but they're good, but PLEASE review a little? Just tell me what you think? I am overjoyed at over 1500 views, but I'm hard-pressed to believe that none of those viewers have opinions... Please, reviews are the only thing that I get out of writing stories for free, so if you enjoy them, please review.
The next chapter is called "A hot, ripe peach" *grins* ...just thought I'd tease you with that before I go ^^
