Tony's panic attacks

The rings

Bruce was nervous. that had Tony nervous. Bruce, since Tony's panic attacks had started, made sure to always keep calm around him. it had Tony on edge. he knew Bruce was planning something. Tony had an idea as to what his plan was too. he was going to leave Tony.

"Tony?" Bruce ask. Tony jumped and turned, looking at him. he'd been so lost in thought.

"yeah?" Tony ask.

"your hands are shaking... is it a code yellow?" Bruce ask. Tony shook his head.

"no. I was just thinking." Tony replied quietly. he turned from Bruce and looked back to his suit. he got back to work on his repairs.

"Tony whats wrong?" Bruce ask.

"nothing. I told you I was thinking." Tony replied. his hands were shaking again.

"Tony, something is wrong with you and I want to know what it is." Bruce said. "Tony, whats wrong?" Bruce ask. he heard Tony take a shaky breath.

"you know what why don't you spill the beans! okay? I know what your planning. I've known for a while now. I've always know you were gonna do it." Tony muttered. Bruce looked shocked.

"oh... I guess I didn't hide it well enough." Bruce sighed. Tony wiped his eye.

"I knew it." Tony muttered. "you're gonna leave. I fucking knew it." Tony said throwing his tools down. Bruce jerked his head up.

"huh?" Bruce ask.

"you're leaving. you're tired of my damn panic attacks. you're leaving me. I fucking knew it. just go. get out. I don't need you. I don't need anybody!" Tony growled. Bruce was shocked as he watched Tony, plop down in his chair. "I'm Tony fucking Stark. I don't need anyone." Tony muttered.

"Tony, what the hell are you talking about?" Bruce ask walking over. "I'm not leaving you." Bruce said. Tony wiped his eye's, not facing Bruce.

"I found the plane ticket. one way ticket to Paris. didn't think I wouldn't notice that on my credit card bill?" Tony ask. Bruce was shocked.

"Tony the ticket was a mistake. I didn't mean to buy it. Phil was looking for a birthday present for Steve and he wanted to go to Paris with him. I requested a refund, I sent the ticket back in. Tony I'm not leaving you." Bruce said. Tony faced him, tears running down his cheeks. Bruce hugged him tightly. "I never realized you cared that much for me." Bruce said softly.

"of course I do. I love you." Tony muttered, hugging him back. he pulled back after a minute. "wait. if I was talking about that, then what the hell were you talking about?" Tony ask wiping his face. Bruce frowned.

"well I guess that cats out of the bag." Bruce muttered. he sat himself in Tony's lap, straddling him with his arms resting on Tony's shoulders.

"what cat?" Tony ask.

"I was thinking." Bruce said, resting his forehead against Tony's.

"thats dangerous." Tony muttered.

"shut up." Bruce pouted. "I was thinking.... we've been dating for how long now?" Bruce ask.

"nearly four years." Tony replied, holding Bruce in place gently. Bruce nodded.

"nearly four years. I thought... I figured the genius billionaire playboy philanthropist would have left me by now, but he hasn't. the way you just reacted, lets me know you have no plans of leaving either... so what if we get married?" Bruce ask, shoving his hand in his shirt pocket.

"what are you planning little Brucey?" Tony ask. Bruce shrugged, pulling out a plain band from his pocket.

"nothing." Bruce replied casually. Tony looked at the band.
