Bruce Banner - Runaway

Song Edition

Why don't you talk to me
Something's wrong I can see

Bruce and I had never talked. It was always the little glances here and there the day went forward. He was always wrapped up in his work and I was busy training for missions. Even though we never did speak, I could always see the longing in his eyes. He was quiet; I was loud. I knew something was wrong but I didn't know how--I didn't think I could talk to him even if I tried. The certain shyness to him drew me in and it made me nervous. Everyone has their bad moments and one day I had mine.

I never thought that the one day I would speak to Bruce, it would be one of the most emotional talks I'd ever have.

Save the lies I won't believe
You can be honest, you can be honest with me

My mother had just passed away a few days ago and it really hit me hard. I stayed in my room, didn't talk to any of the heroes. My mom was the only one I had left and now she was gone. It's like I couldn't breathe anymore; I couldn't function. I was broken.

Bruce had came in. I was shocked; we hadn't spoken so I thought he had gotten lost. I thought he would leave me alone but he did something else. He stayed.

"What's wrong?" He whispered.

I shook my head. "It's nothing."

Bruce wasn't having it. Somehow he knew I was lying so he made me talk. And so I did. For some reason, it helped and I felt so much better. After that talk, Bruce and I got closer.

So come on and run away with me
You are the only thing I need
You are my lungs, my air, the oxygen I breathe
So come on and run away with me

It came to point where I started to love Bruce. It was like I always needed him to be with me. I couldn't breathe if he wasn't here beside me. He became my everything. I loved Bruce. I love Bruce.

You're hiding things you'll never show
You're showing things that you don't know
More than hope I still believe
That you are the honest, you are the honest in me

For a while, I believed that it was only me that had problems. It was only me that was suffering with grief and sorrow. But one day I realized that it was him too. Bruce was hurting so badly.

And it broke me apart to see him like this.

"Bruce?" I touch his shoulder and he turns to me with a tight smile.

"Yes?" His reply is short.

I engulf him in a hug. "I know something's wrong. Just know that I'll always be here," I whisper in his ear.

He hugs me back, nuzzling his face in my neck. Bruce doesn't say anything but I know he's agreeing.

So come on and run away with me
You are the only thing I need
You are my lungs, my air, the oxygen I breathe
So come on and run away with me

And that's how we became each other's rock. The person we both depend on. We loved each other and we'd get through it. If it meant running away, we'd do it.

When you finally find
The words to say
Will I be there
To lift your weight
So you don't sink inside yourself again

I promised him I'd never keep anything from him. He promised me the same.

And with these hands
I will build you up
To break you down
To show you love
So you don't have to be the one to run away

I knew that running from our problems wasn't a good idea. I had always tried to forget about them. But I know now that I can always talk to him about it.

So come on and run away with me
You are the only thing I need
You are my lungs, my air, the oxygen I breathe
So come on and run away with me

Without Bruce, I'd be lost. I just love him so much. And I know he feels the same way. I will do anything for him, even if it meant disappearing.

Come on and run away with me
So come on and run away with me
