Because I'm willing to run pants out to you in the desert at the drop of a hat?

[ The grin is audible in his voice. ]

Me too, Bruce. Me too.

Well, I'm not going to deny that it's a perk.

[ Just as audibly pleased over here. ]

I haven't known many nice people, so you're setting up shop as the only guy worth remembering.

Oh yeah? What do I gotta do to make me really memorable for you?

You're that worried I'll forget about you the next time I head off?

I'm just a man, Bruce. A brilliant man, but I know that even I can't compete with the rainforest.

I like you better than the rainforest, Tony.

Then why don't you stay?

There are lots of reasons.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

[ Silently mulling things over, chewing his lip. ]

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.

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

Sure. A couple of weeks is fine.

You sound a little put out.

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.

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. ]

[ 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.
