Good mornin' sunshine

[greenmoonrising]

WHO: Bruce and YOU
TONE: Ranging from humour to fatigued angst
RATING: Probably not more than PG-13
WHEN: First morning back at school
WHERE: Just outside the Great Hall
WHAT: It's the morning after full moon weekend and Bruce is more than a bit exhausted. He might be more irritable and absent-minded than usual, so what's stopping you from bugging him?
STATUS: Ongoing

Full moon is never fun for Bruce but adding the stress of travel to it had left him more fatigued than usual. If anyone had seen him the day before and how dishevelled he looked then, they'd think he was ready to keel over and die at any second now. All colour was gone from his face save for the even darker shadows around his eyes and the red in his lips, and was that perhaps a glint of green in his eyes when he walked through a beam of sunlight? He needed food but he wasn't too sure he was up to being around people that day, so he hesitated and stared at the entrance of the Great Hall, leaning against a wall for support.

Comments

Tony takes one hand away from Bruce's shoulder long enough to wipe at an eye before going back to pushing him.

"Yeah, but it's only going to end up in someone for telling me off for not eating enough. So you have to monitor me while you eat too."

Tony drives him towards Ravenclaw's table.

"At least we get to keep our table"

[greenmoonrising]

Bruce grumbles as he's pushed, but he just doesn't have it in him to struggle properly, so he let's himself be guided to their table, slouching down into his seat and nearly face-planting into the eggs.

He takes a moment to sip some juice before commenting, "I thought you liked Slytherin girls - isn't it easier to flirt with them over food?"

[arrogantalloy]

"I do like Slytherin girls, they're feisty. But I was clung to on a train in an awkward position and slept for about 20 - 30 minutes in the worlds most pointless armchair with one of my bigger potions book making sure I've gotten all the reading out of the way. I've got other things on my mind than girls right now."

Tony seemingly is having no problem piling his plate with scrambled eggs and bacon. Clearly having only pushed Bruce in so he'd actually eat something.

"Also, I realised that I bought the wrong part for the car too, so I had to send Happy to tell Jarvis at 4. You know they really need to light the owlry better."

[greenmoonrising]

He flushes a bit at Tony's mention of the train and mumbles into his goblet, "You could've shoved me off..."

Bruce stares at the food in front of him and sighs, knowing he should eat properly but getting a small piece of toast instead. He doesn't bother to butter it or anything, and just nibbles on a corner. "They don't light the owlry at 4 in the morning because it's 4 in the morning. You're not supposed to be out and about at that hour."

[arrogantalloy]

"I know better than to shove you off when you grab me when you're asleep."

Tony frowns at the table'a lack of coffee, and pours a large goblet of orange juice and drinks it.

"I'm not supposed to many things. But I do. I didn't get caught so it's not that big of a deal."

[greenmoonrising]

"Sometime this year I get the feeling I'm going to be giving you a lot of detentions for that..."

He keeps nibbling at the toast but it's mostly for show.

[arrogantalloy]

Tony looks at Bruce with a mouth full of egg and bacon hanging out his mouth. Giving him a 'You have got to be kidding me' look.

[greenmoonrising]

Bruce grimaces at the look, and his appetite's gone, toast placed back on his plate. "Close your mouth, sicko. And I'm a Prefect, so there."

[arrogantalloy]

He chews and swallows up what he has.

"You're killing me. Are you seriously going to call me on everything I've always done? Because really, It'll break my heart. And do you really want to deal with a Broken hearted me?"

[greenmoonrising]

He smiles crookedly, pushing his plate away to make room for his arms to pillow his cheek on. "You break enough hearts as is, might as well see what's it's like to have it done to you right?"

[arrogantalloy]

"Believe me. It's not even remotely fun."

Tony finishes his juice and goes to refill it.

"Besides, it's not like I'm ever doing anything wrong."

[greenmoonrising]

"I never said it was." Yawning, he closed his eyes, clearly ready to nap. "You're doing plenty wrong in terms of diplomacy."

[arrogantalloy]

"Then isn't it a fantastic thing that I'm not looking for a job in that field then?"

He smirks at Bruce before digging into more of his eggs, because really they are some delicious eggs.

[greenmoonrising]

"Yeah but you're going to be running your dad's company when you're of age - you're going to have to know how to talk to people without pissing them off," snorts, yawning again and taking his glasses off for a moment.
