There are lots of reasons.

[manofiron]

Name one that isn't based on a fear of what might happen with the Hulk.

[uninsurable]

I don't want to get in the way of your life.

[manofiron]

I'm sorry. How is wanting you to be in it getting in the way exactly?

[uninsurable]

I don't see how I'd fit into it. At length. It's been years since I wanted to stay anywhere.

[manofiron]

If you want to stay, then stay. There's room, Bruce. It's this big empty space that's just been waiting for you to show up and fill it.

[uninsurable]

What am I supposed to do with that? When you say it, you know you're only making me want to go home with you even more.

I don't know how to react to wanting that.

[manofiron]

Good! I want you to come home with me!

Accept it. Let yourself want it. It's okay to do that. I want it too.

[uninsurable]

I appreciate that you like me for who I am, I do, but you have got to understand my blood is toxic. A single accidental drop of it could ruin your entire life. I'm a walking fallout. This isn't even self-deprecating, it's the truth.

[manofiron]

Well, it's a good thing I'm not a vampire then, isn't it?

[uninsurable]

[ Silently mulling things over, chewing his lip. ]

[manofiron]

It's your call, Bruce. You don't have to make it right away. There will always be a place for you if you want it.

[uninsurable]

Let's say a couple of weeks for now. Is that okay?

[manofiron]

Sure. A couple of weeks is fine.

[uninsurable]

You sound a little put out.

[manofiron]

I'm trying to be neutral and understanding, so that I'm not pushing you too hard into anything. I get that I'm pushing. I'm just trying not to do too much.

[uninsurable]

I can't wait to see you.

[ To give up something both true and hopefully cheering, he cuts through the Dos and Don'ts Tony is forcing himself to tread. ]

[manofiron]

[ He can leave the seriousness behind, and in fact is more than happy to do so. ]

I bet you say that to all the guys who bring you pants of the non-purple variety.

[uninsurable]

There was this one guy after I fell from the sky last time, he threw me some clothes. He was kind of a timely hero.

[manofiron]

Someone beat me to it, huh? That's okay. I can live with coming in second.

[uninsurable]

Yeah, this whole Sweep The Doctor Off His Feet thing, this isn't working at all. Try harder next time.

[manofiron]

What do I need, roses and a guitar so I can serenade you? Because if I do, I'm going to need like, I don't know, a month to learn how to play it.

[uninsurable]

I'm easy to serenade, you don't even have to say anything if you do it right.

[manofiron]

You're assuming I'd do it right. That's where you're making the mistake.

[uninsurable]

There aren't a lot of ways you could go wrong, to be honest.
