So this chapter is for anyone who didn't want to read the smut for Peter ! Enjoy!
It was a pretty simple day at Stark Tower. Nothing happens often anyways. Sure there are the days you need to go beat some ass, but most of the time its quiet. You had nothing much to do anyways.
You got up and decided to go hang out with everyone. You quickly stop in your tracks and remember everyone left. Well not everyone. Bruce was still here, but you and him weren't close. Let's just say you hated him and he hated you.
However, this was really weird. The big guy loved you, and was always so tender and gentle with you. Bruce on the other hand despises you. You were beyond confused at this point.
"Ma'am, Dr Banner as requested your presence in the lab." JARVIS announced. Why does he want me in the lab? You thought. Despite your thoughts, you left to the lab anyways. You took the elevator down to the lab and when the doors opened you were greeted by Bruce.
"What was I needed down here for?" You ask as you walked in. "Well, Tony isn't here and I need help with this project." He explains. You shook your head, and frowned. "So now you want my help? Why can't you wait for Tony?" You snap. You really didn't want to deal with Bruce today.
"Can you not be a bitch for one minute? I can't wait for Tony, we have a deadline." Bruce said, agitated. "I'm the bitch? Says the one who hated me from the very beginning." You retort. Bruce glares at you and walks up to you. "All I want is some damn help, I don't need your little remarks." He said walking closer and closer, causing you to back up.
"You have always been a bitch to me, and treated me like shit. I don't want to hear you complain about me! I just want some help! So stuff it!" Bruce yelled, backing you into a wall, screaming at you. Your eyes went wide as you felt yourself shake.
You were afraid. Not because of Bruce, but because you knew if he got angrier the big guy could come out. You were scared if him, even though he seems to like you. Bruce looked at you and your body language and instantly knew what you were thinking. He quickly backed away and looked down to the ground.
"J-Just go." He said walking away from you. You ran to the elevator and went to your floor. You ran to your room and sat on your bed. You do admit, you did kinda provoke him. You just didn't want to deal with him today. You just wanted to know one thing. Why was Bruce always so harsh with you?
Two weeks later
The whole team was now on a mission. You were all supposed to take out a HYDRA base. Everyone is currently 2 hours away from the base. You were already prepared for the attack so you just sat down.
Bruce sat across from you. You look at him then looked away. You felt it. Him staring at you. "You're scared." He eventually said. You look at him with an irritated face. "I'm not scared of this mission. I've done these kinds of things a hundred times." You blandly stated.
"Not of the mission. The big guy." He explained. You look at him and sighed. "Obviously. Only Natasha can calm him down." You replied, looking around the quinjet. "You can to. You know it." He remarks. You sighed and looked him dead in the eyes. "Yeah, and its weird. You hate me, so why does he not?" You grumbled.
As Bruce was about to open his mouth, everyone walked in and said we were about to begin the mission. I got out of my seat and got ready to head out.
By time the mission was almost over, the big guy was near me. He was taking out guys left and right while I shot the ones he didn't get. When our area was clear, he looked over to me. He ran towards me and I began to sprint away from him. He screamed at me as he chased me, but he was gaining speed.
He eventually caught me and held me tightly in his hand. He held so much malice towards me, and his grip was strong around my body. I gave up. I didn't want to fight him. "K-Kill me. I know you and Bruce want to! I want you to! I have no purpose, so do it! You would be doing the world a favor!" You yelled up at him.
His grip got stronger, and you felt the air leave your lungs. All of a sudden it stopped. The big guy was slowly turning into Bruce. He dropped you to the ground as he turned into normal Bruce.
You watched, still in shock after what just happened. Once Bruce was back to normal, he looked up to you. You got him up and helped him back to the quinjet. He got a blanket wrapped around him and a new shirt.
You walked past him but he grabbed your hand. You looked down at your hands, then looked to him. "Bruce, what are you doing?" You asked. "Sit with me." He rasped. You nodded slowly and sat beside him. He looked at you and wrapped the blanket around you as well.
You soon fell asleep on his shoulder, and he wrapped his arm around your waist. He looked down and saw you were asleep. A small smiled creeped onto his lips. The team walked in and started to giggle. "Wow, the sworn enemies are cuddling. Would you look at that!" Clint joked. Tony whipped out his phone and snapped a photo.
Bruce was about to get up and grab Tony's phone, but he remembered you were asleep and didn't want to wake you. "Tony, I swear to god I will kick your ass." Bruce growled. Tony laughed and walked away with everyone else.
Once everyone landed, Bruce lightly woke you up. You groggily sat up and walked out of the jet and into the tower. Once you got inside you sad down in the lounge and sighed.
Everyone went out for some celebratory shwarma. Everyone except you and Bruce. "Ma'am, Dr Banner has asked to meet you in the lab." JARVIS announced. You got up and went to the lab. Bruce was there with his head in his hands, looking nervous.
"You needed me?" You said, making your presence known. Bruce looked up at you with a small smile. "Hey. I just wanted to tell you something. Well, earlier you said I hated you. That's not true." He stated. You chuckle to yourself. "Then explain why the big guy was about to kill me?" You question.
"He was... I stopped him. I begged him to not kill you. Why do you want to die? I don't want you gone." He explains. "I've always wanted to die. And why do you care?" You ask. "Because... I feel a certain way when I'm around you. I've never really felt this way before and I got scared, so I treated you terribly. I now know that I love you." He said, grabbing your hand.
"Bruce, you're kidding right?" You chuckled as you asked this, thinking it was some cruel joke. "No! Its not! I actually like you." He said, a blush covering his face. As you opened your mouth to say something else, Bruce kissed you. He had one hand on your waist, and the other on your neck. You relaxed into the kiss, and held him closer to you.
"I love you. I don't hate you. So, would you please give me a second chance and maybe date me?" Bruce asked, his voice slightly shaking. "Of course. You aren't that bad Bruce." You said with a smile. He laughed at you and gave you one more kiss.
"I finally got what I truly wanted." Bruce said with a genuine smile.
