Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bruce took a moment to glance up from his place on the couch when he noted tony’s movement. smirking at the way he looked so dorky just, laying there, face plastered into his pillow. it was cute, in a way. Bruce went back to his writing with a smile plastered on his face.

Tony was quite out of it, and when he rolled over again, this time there simply wasn't space for his scrawny body. He tumbled off the mattress and awoke in mid-air a split second before eating the carpet with his face. "Ow..." he mumbled, not yet daring to get up.

Bruce laughed, “yeah couldnt sleep.” he replied with a smile, “not that i minded sleeping with you, it woulda just been a bit easier if i could have slept.” he gestured to the notes, “figured id do your homework for you instead, we have a notebook check monday”

"Oh!" Tony perked right back up at this info. His eyebrows then lifted with surprise and he came over to nab the notebook Bruce had been writing in, a little in awe at the show of kindness. "You really don't want me to fail, do you?" he laughed, thumbing through. "Mr. Landwhale must not assign enough homework if you're doing mine; aren't notebooks only like five percent of the grade? You didn't have to, seriously. But thanks." He smiled, genuinely appreciative.

Bruce blushed, “I probably wouldn’t object too much” he said with a slightly strained laugh. “come on then, get up into bed now” he smiled standing up and walking towards the bed, and tapping the blanket.

Tony made a sound akin to a purr, crawling back onto the small bed. He made himself comfy once more (not that it would last long before he was probably rolling all over the place again). "So what kind of books do you like reading?" he inquired, wondering if Bruce was serious about his claim.

“not till march” he said with a smile, “what about you? birthday coming up? not that i could get you anything you dont already have” he thought aloud while shifting a bit to get more comfortable, throwing his arm down between them which caused his hand to land on tony’s. “i… uh, sorry” he said jerking his arm away.

"No way, mine too," Tony said; what a cool coincidence that they had the same birthmonth. Still, it was aways off. His heart skipped a beat when Bruce's hand temporarily landed on his; he almost wished he hadn't pulled away so suddenly. "You have really warm hands, did you know that?" he commented.

Bruce choked on the breath he was taking in at that moment. “thats possible….”he replied not sure if he should move his hand or not, he just didnt speak for a minute “it doesnt feel that cold to me.” he said after thinking a bit.

"Hm... guess we'll just have to settle for the test results being inconclusive," Tony said, giving Bruce his hand back with a smile. He leaned his head back into the half a pillow.

Bruce grinned, “im pretty comfortable around you too, you should feel important that doesnt happen….ever.” he said completely serious, tony was the first friend he had made since the accident… he knew the friendship wouldnt last very long he would find a way to screw it up somehow, if it wasn’t his blatant flirting and stupid developing crush it would be the multiple personality disorder that sent him running. but it was nice to play normal, just for a little bit. He frowned thinking about it all almost thinking he should just tell tony to leave and never come back. after all he was being selfish even speaking to him when he could snap at anything that made him upset and do…well anything.

"I usually do feel /pretty/ important," Tony shot back jokingly, sticking out his tongue; he returned to being serious again rapidly. "But I'm glad to hear it." His right foot began twitching back and forth. "That probably sounds crazy, what with how popular I am around school and all," he mumbled, looking off to the side. Sometimes being popular wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

“its not as bad as me, i didn’t tell my best friend i was gay and she told me she was in love right before i was about to tell her.” he said grimacing at the memory, he really hadn’t meant to hurt her…”if you’re gonna come out, do it quickly…it will be less messy.” he warned,”though dont know why im telling you this, doubt that advice will ever come in handy for you” he said almost frowning. Before he actually started hanging out with tony he had known two things about him, 1. he was in his calculus class, and 2. he certainly had a lot of girlfriends…or dates bruce didnt really know how long any of the relationships lasted, and how long they had to last to be considered a girlfriend.

"Yikes, that is kinda... touchy..." he said with a chuckle. "Hope she wasn't too disappointed." Of course, Tony wasn't one to often turn down a girl who admitted to liking him-- he went with it for as long as it lasted and that was that. He couldn't really say what he'd do in the circumstance a boy came up to him admitting he liked him. Tony shrugged. "And hey, you never know, right?"

“you must go other places apart from school…” bruce said staring at him slightly in shock, “nobody reacts as well as you did when someone tells them that they’re gay unless they know someone who is…its simple, otherwise even if they’re nice they’re weird about it.” he said simply, “and i doubt if you know someone gay that they haven’t hit on you, cause i would…if i wasnt me.” he said as if that explained everything, a little too caught up in his rant to realize what he was saying.

Not even Tony could wrap his head around what all Bruce was saying. "Run that last part by me again real quick?" he asked, blinking several times as he tried to process. It sounded like Bruce was suggesting he /would/ hit on him.
