Loving Yous A Little Bit Hard Sometimes / Bruce Banner

15. Jolly Green Giant

Getaway Car/ House of the dragon out now!

Alisha had been working on an inhibitor that would prevent bruce from shifting unintentionally. She didn't know if you would actually want it or use it, but she wanted to have it ready just in case.

"Whats that?" Bruce questioned. Alisha shoved it aside. "A new project taking up all your time. I prefer that to a secret lover". Bruce mused. "You don't have a secr-"

"No. Of course not!" Alisha declared. "You are the only man for me. Besides who would want my stretched out cunt now?" She teased kissing him.

She had gotten used to green Bruce. She hated to admit it but yes she got used to it. That wasn't to say that she liked it necessarily but she understood that they needed this little combo package. Correction a very large combo package.

Tony, of course knew something was wrong with his little sister. He knew it right away. What he didn't understand was how her fiancé didn't know what was going on. Bruce was a smart man. How could he be so stupid?

" you like this whole half-and-half situation?"

" it's what's best for him right now and I'm trying to be OK with it." Alisha answered.

" that's the interview that you give to the Press." Tony corrected. " give me the stark answer." she sighed grabbing a bottle of wine.

" my body really hurts. All over like everything is all stretched out and painful and I can't fall asleep because the bed is like-" she lifted a hand shaking it. " and he snores really loudly as Hulk. And you know me, I like pitch black darkness and silence. Besides my white noise machine I'm going to suffocate him."

" you tell him all this?"

" he is so proud that he has gotten into this symbiotic relationship with his other half that I just can't... I can't be the one to tell him..." she looks pointedly at her brother.

" so another words you want me to be the bearer of bad news and tell him this whole situation needs to stop or else you're going to find a way to murder him and his giant green ass."

" you are the best brother ever."

" I didn't say I would do it." Tony corrected

" I think you just did." she countered, kissing his cheek.

"Move over."

"OK." Bruce agreed as Tony sat beside him.

"Listen to me you're making my sister miserable and when she is miserable I'm miserable because she makes me miserable because she's complaining about you. Do you understand me?" Tony commanded.

"What's wrong why she miserable?" Bruce Countered and Tony looked him up and down like are you serious? " really? She hasn't said anything."

"Look at you, Bruce". Tony demanded.

"She's OK with us we talked-"

"She is not OK with this because we talked. She doesn't wanna hurt your feelings. She knows how hard you and your other half worked to try and have a symbiotic relationship but she is my little sister and she wanted to marry you." Tony demanded.

"Wanted? Past tense?" Bruce countered in a panic.

"Past tense now she wants present tense-". He clarified "-to punch you in the very green face, but that'll hurt her hand. She knows how hard you worked but she fell in love with you- honestly i have no idea honestly I don't see it but she did and you are no longer you anymore and that makes her sad and when my little sister is Sad I'm sad. Do we understand each other?" Tony demanded.

"I was looking at the whole hulk thing as a curse, but it's a cure I have to work together with him-"

"No no no no no-" Tony corrected. "You need to make my sister happy that's it that's all you have to do. Make her happy make her feel loved and not fuck this up."

Bruce noticed that what Tony had to say was true more and more when he looked at alisha. He thought she was OK with it. They had figured something out even in the bedroom they were working together. They found what worked and what didn't. He had to hold her more gently. They had to reinforce most of the furniture.

But then one day she snapped.

"No bruce no". Alisha demanded stomping a foot on the ground her hands fisted at her sides. If she turned into a hulk, it would've been in that very moment because she was so sick and tired of pretending to be OK.

"Whats wrong?"

"I cant have this conversation with you as the jolly green giant." Alisha demanded.

"Alright ". He agreed taking a moment to shift back. It was nice to see her bruce again. She hugged him tight.

"I miss you brucie." Alisha whispered against him. He knew he fucked up.

"Im still me". Bruce countered. She touched his chin hold it in her fingers

"I miss your face. I miss the way your hand fits in mine. I miss your funny little laugh bruce. I love that you and hulk are buddies now but I wanted to marry you. You bruce. Not green combo bruce."

"I love you so much. But Lida-"

"Just let me finish." She begged. "I love you so much but I need alone time with you. Away from hulk. I have gotten used to a lot of hulk related things since the shift for you but bruce I still need time with you face to face this face that I fell for every damn day" she kept a hand on his chin his eyes locked on her. While the change had shifted him physically, he still saw her with the same eyes. He didn't take into consideration that she couldn't see him the way he saw her. "Can you do that for me?" Bruce kissed her and it did feel nice to kiss her as he was to hold her and not have to worry about breaking her bones.

"I just want you happy. I thought you were okay with it..."

"I was. Sort of. But I miss you. I didn't think it was going to be premenant". She admitted.

"Alright then... what should we do today? You and me."

"Lunch somewhere that doesn't have to get a reinforced chair". Alisha offered
