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."

[greenmoonrising]

I meant the other party, not you. [Dryly.]

Do I get any taller? [Holds out his own wand in case Tony can't find his own. It can be a bit temperamental but it's generally polite if Bruce is lending it as opposed to having it snatched.]

[arrogantalloy]

Uh? You know I think they are the settling down type.

[He reaches out for Bruce's wand as it's offered, as if he was either expecting it, or just used to the gesture that it's second nature to him.]

Just shorter than me, actually. If you don't count your hair.

[greenmoonrising]

So you're still a bit iffy on long-term relationships?


You mean the white-man affro lasts that long?

[arrogantalloy]

It's been, about five years? So yeah, not really too sure on that. I think. I don't really keep track of time. Could be more, really you'd have to ask th- You know. Never mind about the asking.

[He flicks the wand and the clothes start to grow.]

Well, becomes more of a wave now I think about it. This should do nicely.

[He then proceeds to just change in front of him, kicking off his sweat pants before slipping on underwear.]

[greenmoonrising]

Five years and neither of you have a ring put on the other's finger? [Sceptical, about to ask more and then Tony strips, so just blushes, snaps mouth shut and turns away.]

[arrogantalloy]

I went from MIT to being the head and chief engineer of Stark Industries. They've been busy making a name for themselves in their respective circles themselves. We've been busy.

[Once he's buttoned his trousers, he then slips on his shirt, leaving it unbuttoned while he looks for a tie.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Sits on his bed, staring down at hands.]

[arrogantalloy]

[He pulls out his Ravenclaw tie and puts it around his neck before turning around to see Bruce sitting there. Then sits down next to him, starting to tie the tie slowly.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Watches him and smiles crookedly, a bit exasperated.]

Nearly 20 years or something and you still can't do a proper double Windsor.

[Sighs and moves to stand in front of him, hands batting away at Tony's so he can do the tie himself.]

I take it your assistant or whoever does this for you now?

[arrogantalloy]

[He drops his hands and watches Bruce's work.]

They take too much time. Quick and easy looks fine anyway.

[He then slowly looks up at him. Seeing the man he becomes more than the teen in front of him, and it's so hard not to say something.]

My whoever. They get to me long before Pepper ever gets the chance.

[greenmoonrising]

[Hums and pauses, thinking, before slowly tightening the tie and bringing the knot up.]

You keep saying 'they' instead of 'she' when you talk about this other of yours'.

... Tony... are you with a man? [Blinks with surprise.]

[arrogantalloy]

Maybe I've become a fan of the pronoun game? It's not unusual for me to be vague and unhelpful.

[Gives him a passive look in an attempt to give nothing away.]

[greenmoonrising]

Except you're usually too lazy to bother with being this vague. [Flatly.]

...... Is it Steve?

[arrogantalloy]

Not when it comes to keeping time lines sa-

[He raises an eyebrow at him, looking like he's wondering where that even came from, then the eyebrow drops as he remembers.]

Yeah, no. Steve and I have never and really wont ever be a thing.

[greenmoonrising]

... Sherlock? [Raises brow. HEY, it could work!?]

[arrogantalloy]

[He snorts.]

I see him now and again. But he's more than happy with his own husband there.

[greenmoonrising]

'His own husband'- So it is a guy. [Sighs, stepping back from Tony and tucking his hands in his pockets.

Breakfast, come on.

[arrogantalloy]

I never said that. well I said that but in his sense, not mine. He has his own husband that isn't me.

[He licks at his bottom lip as Bruce steps back.]

If it's really that important for you to know...

[greenmoonrising]

[Watches quietly but expectantly.]

[arrogantalloy]

[He rubs at his neck, then looks around the room.]

I'm talking to Bruce Banner, of course it's important. Stupid thing to start with really. Okay. Right well. It's you. So, breakfast? Let's go. It's been way too long since I've had house elf pancakes.

[Tony stands, not giving Bruce any time to process as he makes his way to the door.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Freezes and stares after and cheeks turning bright red.]

Wh- That's not funny!

[arrogantalloy]

[He looks over his shoulder as he opens the door.]

You're right, it isn't, it's tasty. Why would pancakes be funny?

[greenmoonrising]

Stop laughing at me. [Looks pissed, eyes flaring green.]

[arrogantalloy]

[He closes the door quietly and turns to face him, his face neutral again.]

I'm not laughing, Bruce. I wanted to avoid this, but I should have known it would eat at you, because you've always been jealous of anyone I look interested in. Even now you get edgy if I'm being too friendly with someone.

[greenmoonrising]

I don't- You're lying, you couldn't possibly-
