Bruce knows his job is dangerous, no matter what aspect — whether it's his work as a gamma scientist, an Avenger, or even just being the Hulk. With a bullseye always painted on his back, he wants what remains in his life that's tender to stay normal. That means his husband, Y/N.
No matter what, Y/N always made him happy. He's the man who's always right beside him. The one who understands him and comforts him whenever needed. Because of that, Bruce doesn't want him to get hurt. Otherwise, the Hulk will make sure that whoever laid even a finger on him will regret it.
Still, that means keeping Y/N a secret. Sure, SHIELD knows — they know everything — but most of Bruce's colleagues don't, including his teammates.
Today, three scientists are working in the lab. Bruce is always happy to work with his husband. They met because of their jobs. Still, many times Tony is with them, often acting as an unknowing third wheel. That isn't usually a problem, but today is different.
"C'mon, Brucie. You're real awkward. Just let me find you a sweet date." Tony offers.
The entire team was invited to a gala, where they'll meet a bunch of politicians and SHIELD members. Bruce intends to go in secret with Y/N, appearing as if they're just chatting casually. Tony, however, has other plans.
"I don't need a date."
"And that's why you're still single." Tony says with snark. In the background, Y/N cracks a smile.
"It's not about needing someone. It's about wanting someone."
"Like the many women and men you've gone to bed with?" Bruce retorts.
"Yeah." Tony responds shamelessly. "But fine. Be lonely. Not like it's my problem." He shrugs. "Still... I kinda need a date..." As he thinks, his eyes turn toward his other colleague. "Y/N, you're single, right?"
While Bruce looks shocked, he quickly glances at his husband, who doesn't seem worried at all.
"Yeah, and?"
"Ready for a fun night?" Tony smirks, arms crossed as he stares at the man. "We can dance all night. And if you need a suit, I can get one for you... if you want any clothes at all."
Y/N glances to the side, seeing Bruce's skin slightly turning green with jealousy. Knowing he needs to keep his husband in check, the other scientist doesn't let Tony get away with it.
"Sorry, Tony, but I'm already seeing someone."
Tony raises an eyebrow. "You just said you were single."
"I'm seeing a cute guy — a keeper." Y/N says casually.
"Someone better than me?" Tony scoffs. "I've got competition? Do I know him?"
"No." Y/N replies. "And knowing you, it's better if he doesn't know you." Tony chuckles. "You might as well accept I'm not going with you."
Despite the rejection, Tony smiles. Bruce hopes that will be the end of it — but of course, the billionaire still has a trick up his sleeve.
"Look, Y/N, you know my ex, right? That asshole from the gadget company?"
Y/N raises an eyebrow. "Wasn't his name Gregory or something?"
"Exactly — the asshole from that gadget company." Tony mutters. "Anyway, I know it's desperate of me, but I need a hot guy who can show off how smart he is in front of him. Consider it a favor. And if you don't consider me a friend, payment is acceptable."
