Summary:  You play matchmaker for your brother, Tony, and Bruce. Written for @varave Sorry if this isn't what you meant lol, but this is what I thought of when you said Science Bros.

"Y/n!!!!!" 

You startle out of your concentrated state, working on your latest painting, as Tony comes barging into your room.

"Anthony Edward, how many times do I have to tell you to knock first?" you sigh, reaching for your paints to fix the mistake you just made, "What do you need?"

"I need your help!"

"Obviously," you mutter. 

"What can I do for you, dear brother?" You say, louder for him to hear.

"So, you're in a relationship, right?"

"Yes..." You're unsure of where this conversation is going.

"How did you do it?" he asks, sitting on your bed.

"Excuse me?"

"I mean, did you ask him/her, or did they ask you, or did you both just know?"

"Just know what, Tony? You're being confusing, just get to the point and leave me alone."

"Well, I was just wondering because, well, hypothetically, if I were to have a, uh, crush, on someone, what should I do about it?"

"Hypothetically?"

"Right, this is purely for research."

"Well, I don't see why your 'research' required you to interrupt my peace, but if I were you, I would 'hypothetically' go ask Bruce out." you say, with a mischievous smirk.

"Wha- I never said anything about Bruce"

"You didn't have to, Tony. Everyone sees the way you look at each other. Even Steve."

"We're just friends, Y/n/n."

"You will be, if neither of you does something about it, and the rest of us will just have to suffer your constant pining after each other."

"We do not pine for each other."

"Yes, you do. Now, was that all you wanted to ask, or are you going to keep bothering me?"

"Fine, I'm leaving," he grumbles.

Little did he know, you had basically the same exact conversation with Bruce earlier that day. You were quite the matchmaker, indeed.

~le time skip~

You've just finished up your painting for the day, and are washing up when you get a text from Tony.

'I did it!'

You smile, happy for him.

'Yay! Now you can stop bothering me with your hypothetical research'

You put your phone away, and finish cleaning up your stuff. A little while later, you get a text from Bruce.

'Thanks, Y/n. I told him, and he said he feels the same way!'

You laugh a little.

'Told you so."

~le time skip pt2~

It's now later that night, and you're sitting on the couch watching TV with Steve. You hear someone come in the front door, followed by two people laughing. It's Tony and Bruce. You smile.

"Well, well. What do we have here?"

They stop, not having realized you were on the couch.

"Oh, hey, Y/n. Steve. We were just - uh- you know, having dinner." Bruce says, a little uncertainly.

"That sounds like a date to me," Steve teases. He knows everything already. You had to tell someone, and he's your best friend. They both blush.

"That look is answer enough for me," Steve says. You all laugh, and head your separate ways to bed.

Just as you're about to turn off your lights, there's a knock at your door. You go over to open it, and see Tony standing in the hall.

"Hey Tones, what's up?"

"I- um, I just wanted to thank you. For tonight, and earlier, and just, yeah. Thank you."

You smile, and wrap him in a hug.

"Of course. What are big siblings for?"

He laughs a little, "They're for younger siblings to annoy."

"You only annoy me sometimes"

"Well, I'll just have to try harder then." He starts to walk away, when you stop him.

"Hey, Tony?" he turns back around, "Thank you, too."

"For what?"

"Being the best younger brother ever."

"Gross, I hate it when you get sappy."

You laugh, "You know you love me"

"Yeah, I do"
