Bruce looked up when he heard footsteps and looked away again quickly. Hearing Tony’s words, he let out a slow, shuddering breath. “Nothing I do works….” He muttered simply.
Tony glanced around at that, taking in everything that he had strewn across the table, he hummed softly. It only took him a minute to figure out what was wrong. “Bruce….you don’t need to stress out.” He said slowly. “You have way more control than you give yourself credit for. With all of these months that I’ve been annoying you, you haven’t come close to seriously hurting me.” He said slowly. Sure he’d gotten a few bruises, but that was a major accomplishment for a man with Bruce’s problems. “And you are way more likely to attack me than Betty. It’s hurting both of you to try and keep this distance all the time. You have to let her come and visit. In fact I think it’ll benefit you.” He said softly, resting a hand on Bruce’s shoulder.
Bruce listened, but shrugged off Tony’s hand. “You don’t understand.” He muttered. When Tony took a breath to speak, Bruce bolted to his feet. “You don’t understand, don’t pretend to.” He snapped, his voice wavering into deeper tones for a moment, but he didn’t lose his control and Tony barely flinched, keeping his spot and not moving to run or defend himself, just frowning at Bruce.
