‘don’t say that about yourself.’ :(

@battlefall.

     what had been an attempt to comfort thor’s woes has now seemingly turned back around on him. it’s not your fault, thor. you couldn’t have done anything. if there’s anyone who let people down it’s me, i spent two years killing people, and that’s just the recent list. i’m the monster, here.

    way to self-depreciate like a real master, banner. he resists the tempting urge to just punch himself in the face and let the big guy bear the embarrassment. but he can’t. he can’t. because he doesn’t want to hurt thor, and, thanks to thor’s support, doesn’t really want to hurt himself like that either. ‘i–uh,’ his hands and voice both fumble for purchase in what feels like a hole, digging himself deeper and deeper. bruce isn’t often told off nor comforted for his passing self-hate. the usual reactions vary from pity to agreement, or even anger. but the god of thunder doesn’t really look angry, or pitiful. he just looks calm. he just looks like.... his friend.

    bruce shakes his head. 'thanks, thor. sorry. i didn’t mean to turn that on me. it’s just that i shouldn’t have let that h-’ thor gives him a look. he tries again. 'it was my f…’ the look hasn’t gone away. he swallows and surrenders. 'it…wasn’t my fault.’

“Be right back, I have to go fight a war. Should only take a few hours, though.” GghdhgdghJJ

shit i heard at college. accepting.@battlefall​.

      he’s working on a new power regulator for the laboratory. lately, they’ve been having an excess of shorts, and neither bruce nor thor are very happy when the electricity all shuts off because thor was blow-drying his hair while bruce fired up one of his ancient computer towers. god. what a weird situation. he just grunts in response, busy trying to avoid being electrocuted. again.

        wait, what? ‘you’re going out?’ he looks distressed. oh, not about the war thing, that’s pretty standard. ‘if it’s only going to take a few hours you’d better bring back more milk. we’re out and i’m not going anywhere.’

“Why are you listening to sad music? Why do you always listen to sad music? You should listen to something fun, you know, like Beyoncé.”

some ask meme. / @allistrange.

       beyonce? well. stephen isn’t necessarily wrong, he’s got a good point – it’s just, bruce really, really likes wallowing. what’s easier? pushing through the difficulties and holding your head high? or sitting back with some radiohead and crying a little. the answer is obvious. with some considerable reluctance, banner slowly turns down the crooning tune of sad garbage playing from his speakers, aptly choosing to deflect rather than defend. ‘when the hell did you get into beyonce? i’d assumed you to be more of a…a….’ he gestures vaguely, jittery as ever, 'winter by vivaldi kind of guy. i’m surprised by your good taste.’

[gammaslamma]

“I just don’t think I remember how to look after myself.”

some ask meme. / @battlefall.

      bruce knows a lot about taking care of himself. meditation, medication, education, hiding, running, trying new things, getting stuck in old routines, seeking help, helping himself – he’s tried it all. been there, done that, twice over. sometimes, the repetition just as well as the unfamiliarity of his attempts have driven him almost to the point of giving up. and maybe he’s not better, maybe he won’t ever be, but bruce banner is nothing if not knowledgeable on different methods of self care. buy a bath bomb, get a therapist, set some shit on fire.

        there’s a lot of options, and he’s more than willing to sit down with thor and go through the list. hell, he’ll brainstorm new ones. so he just drops himself into the chair right next to thor, uses one hand to grab his big hand in his own and the other to pat his arm, and smiles comfortingly. ‘i’ll help you. don’t even worry about it – i’m an expert. and val and i are here to help! you don’t have to do anything– uh, alone, you know.’

[gammaslamma]

“You know I’m, like, here for you, right?” HEHE

‘PLEASE LIKE ME’ SENTENCE STARTERS. accepting. @battlefall.

        he’s shaking. everything is; the floor, the walls, his hands, his heart. everything feels jittery, off-kilter, on the edge of tipping over and giving into that hot green anger bubbling at the back of his mind. everything quickly becomes too much. it starts in his throat, green veins protruding, flashing in and away from sight. his heart pounds to the quick sequence of bad memories that come to mind. the relief of being no one, nowhere, at the price of whatever destruction the hulk may bring, is almost irresistible. ( bruce you’re being stupid you’re – ) 

         and then thor’s big hand plants itself down on his shoulder. he’s grounded, snaps to attention, cereal box held in his crushing grip. he’s smashed captain crunch’s face in. aw. sorry, captain. bruce looks around, wide-eyed and lost, then just smiles weakly, registering the reassurance; thor doesn’t step away, and bruce doesn’t want nor ask him to. he gently sets the box down and pats the god’s arm, resolute yet grateful. yeah. he really, really likes having thor around.‘thanks, buddy. i’m alright.’

where are my glasses

[gammaslamma]

battlefall.

‘  huh  ?  what’s gone  ?  ’  a second passes as he finally absorbs the statement and  …  he touches his face gingerly.  ‘  oh  !  my eye.  did it fall somewhere  ?  ’

        oh holy sh --

         bruce has seen some weird things. some really out there kind of stuff. aliens, gods, wizards, space rocks. somehow, thor’s eye falling out is just a little more alarming than all of it combined. ‘you...uh. you dropped it, i think, behind the table. there.’ a pause. ‘are you..okay?’

[gammaslamma]

“We’re just two buddies having a nap.” TWO BROOOOOOOOOOOOOS SITTIN IN A HOT TUB FIVE FEET APART CAUSE THEYRE NOT GAY !

‘PLEASE LIKE ME’ SENTENCE STARTERS. accepting. @battlefall.

        oh, this is really gay. really really gay. (not that that’s a bad thing. bruce is gay. that’s great.) what felt like just a couple minutes ago they’d been sitting on bruce’s king bed – the living room sofa was too far away – side by side, watching reruns of bruce’s favorite earth tv shows. thor seemed to like house-hunters well enough. friends was also a favorite. bruce personally liked seinfeld the most. still; it’d been a long day and despite things winding down, bruce wasn’t any less exhausted by the end of it. so he’d barely even noticed when their heads leaned against one another, noticed even less when he ended up draped across thor’s outstretched arm, and only now registered the fact that they were dangerously close to spooning. as bros do. (not bad, bruce.) he considers his options. 1, roll off the bed and backwards onto the floor. ouch. 2, be weird about it. 3, just go with it, he’s exhausted. he ends up resorting to an uncomfortable mix of the last two. 

           he glances up at thor. he looks equally sleep-deprived, but his smile is calm and bright as ever. bruce huffs and frowns. physical proximity with anyone isn’t really his…thing. but maybe it’s an asgardian custom not to mind platonic touch so much. he’s comfortable in his masculinity, and so is thor! it’s all fine. he sighs. ‘uh, yeah. usually. just buddies don’t do this kinda stuff. not that i really care. we’re friends! we’re friends. napping. it’s fine.’ 

[gammaslamma]

battlefall.

‘  i’m sorry for drunkenly throwing a spoon at you and then laughing.  ’  /  texts from last night starters  !  @gammaslamma

      ‘thor mean.’ he looks pissed. were he not the hulk, he’d probably have a spoon-shaped bruise right on his forehead. ‘angry girl get drunk. not thor.’ 

[gammaslamma]

battlefall.

‘  no  …  anything but that,  banner.  i don’t think  …  no,  i definitely was not ready for  …  for that.  ’   wait for it.  ‘  it was a contagion,  wasn’t it  ?  am i correct to assume i contracted it from you  ?   ’  burn.  yeesh.  

@gammaslamma /  hehe.  based on this ^_^

         alright, maybe he was being a little too mean with that one.           -- scratch that. now thor’s the one being mean. asshole. why’s he so hard to stay mad at? the guy’s like a giant, beefy puppy, no matter what he says or does. bruce is stuck somewhere between an offended gasp and an unwilling giggle. ‘i-- hey, that’s. yeah, you got me there. it probably did rub off on you.’ 

       he scrambles for payback. ‘that must be why you’re so rude. too much exposure to your little brother.’
