[ starting to edge away here. maybe he can escape without him knowing there was cuddling. can't he have the awkward conversation later after he's processed?
no, probably not. Bruce doesn't ever expect his life to work out in his favor ]
Usually you wake up with a woman? [ he asks sarcastically, the only thing he can come up with to say on the spur of the moment.
Bruce edges away some more for good measure and runs his hand through his hair, glancing at his heart rate monitor as he does. In the eighties, so a little stressed, but not bad. He still takes a silent breath before saying, ] I don't drink, so I honestly have no explanation for this.
I think we have to, but I would be okay with taking a minute. You have to be Tony Stark, but it's just not making sense.
[ he has no doubt that they didn't have sex anyway because he can't have sex, so tony only gets a raised eyebrow at his sheet-lifting antics. they're both at least semi-clothed, thankfully ]
[ his eyebrows raise ] You think people talk to me?
No, never mind, we can... do that. Let's just. Put clothes on first. [ Bruce moved to, putting the conversation on momentary hold as he leaned over the side of the bed and tried to locate pants - a shirt was more immediately at hand, and it was way too nice to be his, so he placidly straightened up and held it out ]
You're welcome. And I'm moving out tomorrow. [ so don't think you can find me here again, he doesn't say. and I'm editing this to add that bruce's place is probably a dump, more or less, so he strongly suspects tony is being facetious anyway.
he forages around again and spots his own pants. he stands up to put them on, facing away from the bed, with the equanimity of someone who has practiced not reacting to getting slapped in the face ]
If there's a way for it not to be weird, feel free to tell me.
[ he drops out of view to reach under the bed for his shirt, buttoning it as he straightens up. it's infinitely better to be clothed, he has to admit to himself ]
Right. So. ...You think it was the community?
[ Bruce still isn't entirely ready to accept that he's sitting in a dingy room with a half-clothed Tony Stark, but he's getting there. so far he's actually less obnoxious than he expected he'd be ]

and then wonder who that is and open his eyes and keep not moving, staring.

We could just not talk about it. I'd be okay with that.
