May December in all the wrong ways.

[arrogantalloy]

WHO: Tony Stark and Bruce Banner
TONE: Confusion
RATING: PG
WHEN: December 19th
WHERE: Ravenclaw 6th year boys dorm
WHAT: Tony wakes up 47 cuddling up to a 16 year old Bruce.


Over Tony's 47 years, many interesting things have happened to him, from his family losing their lives in the war when we was a child to his entire time at Hogwarts, his rise to being a near house hold name after taking control of Stark industries, he was also a consultant to both American and British ministries of magic. He fought in the second wizarding war as well.

But the biggest things to happen in his life of late was finding Bruce after years of lost contact with him, and as of a few months ago, he managed to escape from a kidnapping by a rouge guerilla group after a weapons demonstration, where they kept him for three months trying to force him to build them his high-end weapons.

During this time he caught a small amount of shrapnel that would have killed him if not for an electromagnet put into his chest by a fellow captive. Which he then made his own as he does.


Right now however, Tony finds himself waking up cuddling into his lover. However there is something wrong about how it feels.

For one, there doesn't seem like there is enough hair on the others chest.

Blinking Tony opens his eyes and on noticing there's no grey in the hair he's staring at he sits up and looks down. his reactor casting a faint blue glow over the others back.

"Oh yeah. This is illegal."

Comments

[arrogantalloy]

Yes, assistant. Friendly, at times, not always at me. And she has pretty standard assets actually, she keeps me in line when others aren't around. More like a baby-sitter than assistant, but only if you ask her.

[Having gotten used to his Bruce's staring, Tony doesn't feel the need to keep a certain distance between them. But he drops his hand from it.]

Well, kind of got in trouble with one of my own weapons, kind of being used against me. Admittedly, if I was concious enough at the time, I'm sure I could have come up with a better solution.

But it is what it is, I made it my own.

[greenmoonrising]

[Tries not to let his face fall when Tony talks more about his assistant before focusing on the reactor.]

... What is it... doing? [Frowns.] Wait, you said electro-magnet- You've got metal in your heart!?

[arrogantalloy]

Uh, no. It's job is to stop it getting into my heart.

It's sort of permanently preventing death by shrapnel.

[greenmoonrising]

... You're jok- no of course you're not. [SIGHS and facepalms.]

Right, so why are you here?

[arrogantalloy]

If it was a joke, there'd be a better punch line. And get your hand away from there, I might have been accountable. But this happened because I was taken hostage, so don't start shaking your head at me either.

And if I new that, I wouldn't have needed to wake you up. But if I really was five the other day. Then, it's the castle being the castle again.

[greenmoonrising]

Hostage...? [Pales, not liking the sound of that at all and green flaring in his eyes as he suddenly feels furious at someone kidnapping Tony AGAIN.]

Castle, right yeah. Time shenanigans. [Appears calm but eyes still neon green.]

I guess it'll last a day or more, judging from when you were a little kid around here. I hope you weren't busy with any projects at home.

[arrogantalloy]

[For the moment he hasn't really got any plans to elaborate on his being taken. Having to deal with Bruce's reaction the first time was more than enough. Seeing the younger man's eyes was all he needed to be sure that this was a plan he was going to stick with.]

Nothing time sensitive at least. So...

[He sits back down on the bed, with his back to Bruce.]

What was I like as a kid? I mean, I know what I was like. But how was I?

[greenmoonrising]

You mean other than being an arrogant smart-ass? [Smiles a bit, eyes still green.]

[arrogantalloy]

Well, yeah. Apart from that. That's like my defining trait

[greenmoonrising]

You were you. [Shrugs.] Do you still chase every skirt you see?

[arrogantalloy]

Wow, no that's almost hurtful. I always thought I got better with age.

Hmm, now that's a loaded question. Not for a long while, no.

[greenmoonrising]

[Tilts head, glancing quickly at his left hand and seeing no ring.]

Lost interest or are you just finally in a proper relationship?

[arrogantalloy]

Yes.

[Not at all being unhelpful on purpose.]

[greenmoonrising]

Uh huh. [Unimpressed face.]

[arrogantalloy]

Well, both. If you want something little more accurate.

[greenmoonrising]

That's not really accurate, but fine. [Sighs and climbs out of bed, moving for his drawers to get clothes out.]

Any idea how long you're staying with us?

[arrogantalloy]

Yes, I go bored with being a hound dog. And someone did manage to. Let's go with 'tame' me. Now don't let your heart jump out your chest, I only have the one reactor here.

[He smirks, then shrugs a little.]

Now that, can't tell you. Few days? A month. Probably only a few days though, I think I'd remember losing more time than that. Probably.

[greenmoonrising]

She must be some lady. [Keeps eyes on dresser as he pulls out his shirt and trousers.]

I guess we'd better get some food into you then - do you still go for days without sleeping or eating? [Strips off shirt and tosses it aside.]

[arrogantalloy]

They really are something, alright.

[He lies back on the bed, not looking at Bruce as he changes, because yeah, that's just... Freud would have something to say for sure.]

Actually, I do both kind of regularly now. I've got my other, and Pepper to thank for that.

[greenmoonrising]

Your 'other'? Geez you turned romantic. [Mutters:] And obtuse.

[Steps out of pyjama pants before putting on school shirt, buttoning it up before getting his trousers on.]

[arrogantalloy]

No real other way to describe them. Well not without potentially screwing up my own timeline.

Unless you want to chance it and find out who it is?

[He gives the roof a smarmy looking, with intentions of having it bounce off and hit Bruce.]

[greenmoonrising]

Why should telling me about it potentially screw up your timeline? [Raises brow as he turns and slips his belt on.] Is it Natasha?

[arrogantalloy]

Because we never lost contact, so it can be an unfair advantage on you while we grow up, don't you think?

[He sits up and turns to look at Bruce, looking almost amused before brushing some hair from his hair, starting to think he's due for a hair cut.]

Me and Tasha? Well, there have been... No, she and I are many things, but lovers? No.

[greenmoonrising]

What 'advantage' would I have knowing who you- [Loooooooooooooong pause. Stares at Tony with disbelief.] You didn't- no.

[Shakes head and runs a hand over his face, rubbing his eyes lightly. One of the first advantages Bruce can think of in this situation would be that they somehow ended up dating later in life but Tony was Tony. There's no way he'd be interested in guys, especially Bruce.

Sighs and smiles a bit crookedly.]

So you're still keeping in touch with Nat then? That's good.

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony glances around as he's stared at. Knowing exactly where Bruce's mind has gone, but isn't planing on confirming it. Then rubs his chin before shaking his head.]

Didn't what? I'm talking about you trying to talk me out of doing thinks that put me in hospital a few times, but have really contributed to muggles or wizards over the years. Oh, and don't even think about telling me about what happens in Afghanistan, it needs to happen.

[He points an authoritative finger at Bruce. With out it he would have never redesigned his fathers reactor and got it to work properly]

Well, more we bump into each other when she gets ou- Yeah, we still keep in touch. Me and Sherlock stay friends too.
