BANG, Bruce had picked up the gun and shot his father before he could get to me, i looked over at Bruce and his hand was shaking and tears fell down his eyes, he'd never killed anyone before let alone his own father. He just sat on the ground having a panic attack as everyone rushed out to see what the noise was.
They looked at the body next to me and then at me as Tony stated "We can't leave you two alone for two seconds without you killing anybo-". Tony then stopped talking as he looked at Bruce lay on the ground with his hands on his face.
I got up and limped over to Bruce and sat next to him saying "Bruce hey, it's not your fault".His breaths were still fast but slightly slowed when he heard my voice.He looked up at me and i could see the tears in his eyes but they were silent.
He wrapped his arms around me and buried his head in my chest, as i held him. He whispered but i just about heard it "What have i done?".His breaths slowed as he looked up at everyone then at his fathers dead body.
I replied "You did the right thing?"trying to make him feel better.
"I just got so angry, i couldn't see his face again"He replied now calmed down.
"Do you know who it is?"Steve asked.
"It's his father"I replied looking at Bruce reassuringly.
Bruce then got up and started walking back inside with his head hung."I thought his father was dead".Tony then replied.
"He was in prison for killing his mum and beating him up when Bruce was 8 and today he's been let out, please don't say any of this to him".I said picking up my crutches and following him.
I walked inside and Bruce was sat at the bar drinking alcohol, i went over to him and took the drink of him as i know he never drinks alcohol. "Hey, i thought you didn't drink"I said to him.
"Well i might as well follow the family tradition since my dads dead".He said looking down.
"Hey you're not like them"I said holding his cheek.Now it makes sense why he never drank.He just looked at me and i could see the pain in his eyes.
I went up to him and hugged him and he sighed letting all the weight of his shoulders and hugging me back.
We walked back upstairs and for a change we went into Bruce's room so i hoped it would make him feel more comfortable. I've never been in his room before and when i walked in everything was neat and tidy and most things were about science, it was a bit bigger than mine.
I then went in the bathroom and got a wipe as he had a small cut next to his eye, he was sat on the bed as i straddled on top of him and cleaned his eye, when i finished i put the wipe in the bin.
"Thankyou"He stated.
"What for?"I replied.
"For everything, i honestly don't know what i would do without you".He said.
"I don't know what i would do without you either".I said truthfully as i brought him into a big hug; he hugged me back.
I then walked to bruce's wardrobe and everything was neatly folded and there was enough big baggy jumpers i could wear for days, i'm very tempted to steal them all but i decided to choose one.
Bruce said that he was going to get in the shower to clear his mind, i heard the shower running and just waited for Bruce to come back, i could sense he was crying so i decided to cheer him up. I walked in the bathroom and there was Bruce sat on the floor with his head in his hands.
"Bruce?"I softly spoke.He looked up at me and quickly got up covering himself and stood against the wall.
"This is how i felt when y'know i first killed somebody"I said trying to reassure him.
"I bet it wasn't your father though".He said practically murmuring
"My best friend, they made me kill my best friend".I replied with a fake small smile thinking back at it now.
"I'm sorry"He replied.
"It's ok"I said.
"I didn't get over it for weeks but i couldn't talk to anyone on how i was feeling i just had to block it out, so i'm just letting you know it will get better and if you have any questions or want to open up i will always listen".I said smiling.
"Thankyou"He replied i could tell he was uncomfortable.
"Anyway i'll let you get back to your shower big guy"I said looking up and down him and smirked at him walking out.
A few minutes later he came back and got dressed and as he got into his bed i pulled him onto me and gave him another big hug. We then went to sleep in each others arms.
When i woke up Bruce wasn't there, i got up using my crutches and thinking maybe he went into the bathroom but he wasn't there. I then got kind of worried as i looked at the time and it was only 6am where could he be?
I went out of Bruce's room and firstly my first thought was that he would be in lab, i went in there and he was there playing with one of his projects, i put my hands over his eyes and straight away he knew it was me, he turned around and smiled at me.
I smiled back at him but then noticed his black eye from when his dad punched him. I brushed my hand at the area and smiled at it painfully.
"How long have you been up for?"I questioned him as his black eye wasn't the only darkness around his eyes.
"An hour"I looked at him as i knew he was lying"Fine 5hours"He replied.
"Why have you been up for so long?"I said.
"I just couldn't stop thinking about it"He said which i understood.
"It's alright"I said hugging him and he rested his head on my shoulder i could tell how tired he was. I brought him into the living room and i sat down as i allowed him to lay on my lap as i messed with his curly hair. He fell asleep relatively straight away until i sensed Tony was sneaking up to me and when he made an attempt to scare me, i just stared at him right back with a still face.
"I'll get you one day".Tony stated then looking at Bruce saying "aWhH lOoK aT bAbY bRuCe sLeEpInG"In a jokey manner. I just stared at him emotionlessly and punched his arm, i then looked at him and brushed his curls thinking this is probably the closest thing i could get to holding a baby of my own.
