[ Bruce blames himself for letting it get this far, but it's not like he hadn't not told Stark not to drink. Afterall, that's what they agreed to when they chose to advance their relationship. Because Banner has a problem with drunks. Because his father had been an abusive drunk towards him nearly every night in his childhood and there's a small fear of that towards one Tony Stark. But the billionaire hadn't stopped, so the other convinced him that they could compromise. Which didn't pan out because the drinking became more constant when parties were being thrown. Bruce, himself, had always excused himself from every event because .. well, too many people. He's a little claustrophobic believe it or not. But then he had to find out that Tony had been cheating on him more times than just the one.

And it hurt. The Other Guy was furious, he hulked out one time when Tony was away on business and hulk would have smashed his way to bring some pain to iron man if it hadn't been for SHIELD tranquilizing the big green guy before he could get away. Thank god nobody told him about that little incident.

Then he began to think on why Tony liked cheating on him so much, was it because the other was done with him? Was he just too.. boring for the life of the party that is Tony Stark? All these self-depreciating thoughts and more, he couldn't get out of his mind. As if he didn't already have enough stress to begin with.

The moment Tony perched his chin upon his shoulder, Banner tensed. They haven't had sex for over five months, he's been subtle about it, making up pretty relevant excuses not to do it with his ahem, boyfriend. But this small gesture only makes bruce uneasy. Because he doesn't want to be touched by a man that doesn't want him anymore. Or so he assumes. And it just hurts so much. ]

Tony, not now.
