* play out the sequences relevant to that of a married lifestyle.
1. proposal {
1. park - you've been planning this proposal for awhile and have taken your sweetheart to a nice secluded area in the park. are they going to say yes or leave you in the dust?
2. house - dimmed lights, candles, home made dinner. it's obvious you've fixed yourself up for something tonight. let's see if your lover catches on before the question is popped.
3. public event - perhaps you're one who wants to gain a lot of attention; maybe your significant other doesn't as much. either way, this goes from writing their message in the sky with an airplane to something like a flash mob ensemble with others involved.
4. restaurant - nothing romantic like taking them out somewhere ritzy and hiding the rings in that glass of expensive wine.
5. car - you've driven them somewhere nostalgic or meaningful either to you or each other, or perhaps just a good view overlooking the city cause maybe you had no other idea how to do it or couldn't afford anything else.
2. marriage {
1. traditional - both parties have agreed and said yes, and everything goes well just like in the fairy tales you've always dreamed of.
2. arranged - you had no say so in this but somebody else like your parents did. you've never seen this person before until you walk down the aisle. what are your thoughts? are you nervous? what if you two don't get along? looks like you have to deal with it either way. enjoy?
3. elope - nothing fancy. you know, they do make drive thru chapels or perhaps you're just going to experience the excitement of meeting up at the court. all and all, it doesn't matter, just so you have your sweetheart to yourself.
4. shotgun - congrats, somebody is pregnant. there's only one more thing left to do now..
5. disaster - looks like somebody forgot the rings! never mind the fact the maid of honor is having a wardrobe malfunction or that soon to be father in law is causing a scene of some sort.
3. after marriage {
1. honeymoon night - self explanatory! come on, you know what this means. it just wouldn't be the same without this option.
2. new addition - it could be a pregnancy or bringing home a new child, or something as simple as a new pet goldfish.
3. house purchase - after months of living in a trashy apartment, you're both about to sign the dotted line and move into your new place.
4. argument - deep, relationship sort of arguments or something petty like who drank all the milk; it's up to you!
5. divorce - somebody has had enough of this and is ready to move on. how will it all go down?

[He says, moving forward fast, taking the seat next to him and reaching to touch his hand without thinking.]
I've backed off you lately, but it wasn't anything you did, and it isn't that you're not enough to satisfy me. I know you've got... stuff, obviously, with your heart rate and your big green, and I knew going into this that the fact that I want to throw you over every lab table in this place was going to have to take a backseat to the fact that you need to find your zen, and in particular you needed to find your zen around me, but that doesn't mean anything bad about you. It means I'm an asshole who apparently- can't keep it in my pants when I drink, but the last little while without... I just. I thought you wanted it, I guess. I'm not easy not to want to punch in the face, so I thought I just wasn't pushing.
Apparently I sucked at that, and this is coming out wrong because in no way shape or form are you responsible for my choices, I am, but. I want you more than anyone I've ever known. Pending divorce and all. I don't know where this got so screwed up because I saw, I still see, you here with me for the rest of our lives. Maybe I don't deserve that any more, that I can see, but I don't not want it. This isn't on you, it's on me.

And everytime he feels like he's losing the other because Bruce himself takes so damn long and most times he doesn't know why Tony bothers with him.
As Tony adorably babbled on, Bruce nodded every now again when he agreed with some key points of what his spouse said, tony even managed to make him break a smile at the comment about wanting to do him in this very labroom. But other than that, he remained silently listening to Tony. It's really tony's fault, he's not really leaving any room for him to speak much. But when he finds that window to do so, he takes it. Bruce allowed the other to touch him this time and he slid his hand on top of the others own.
Out of all this talk and Bruce has noticed one thing. Tony still hasn't apologized, sure, the billionaires words are an aplogy all together but it's almost like Stark's weaving his way around to not have to say it. The doctor pressed his palm firmly against his own chest as he said these,next words because already his heart was beginning to speed up. Not yet in danger of hulking out but still. ]
Is this all true? Because I did try to stop you. From .. you know, but you only pushed me away and said .. -
[ Bruce found it difficult to finish his words and if you paid attention, you could hear his voice crack for the slightest of seconds as he summarized- ]
You said I .. I'm not enough. I know you were drunk but it still.. There's still some truth into what drunks say and now I realize that it comes from your heart. I'm .. I need to leave. This is just.. too much.
[ By now, Banner has already carded his fingers into his hair, lightly pulling at it in frustration as he bowed his head as a means to stay in control. He wasn't losing it yet, contrary to this clutching-scalp-manner. ]

It's finally what gets him to nod.]
Yeah. No, I get that, I do. I'd leave me too if I were you.
[The joke is weak, a little quiet.]
I've never believed that, you know. That there was truth in what drunks say. Maybe. Maybe it means I wanted to hurt you, but you need to know, I have never thought anything but highly of you.
[It'd felt like borrowed time, in a way. The months together before Bruce realized exactly what Tony was worth. A snatched little story before the other shoe dropped.]
What do you need from me tonight? Space, more talking- anything. Whatever you need.
no subject
He loved Tony so much but .. He couldn't keep living like this. Maybe he should've listened to himself when he said he couldn't stay in new york. Then maybe.. None of this would've happened. He knows it was just the inner anger talking but it was the hard truth. Buring his face in his hands, he whispered- ]
I need to be alone right now.
no subject
[He agrees, quietly.]
I'm going to get out of here for tonight. I'll have my phone on if you want to talk. If you need, JARVIS will help you find a place out of here. Our finances are pretty enmeshed right now but we'll- I'm going to make sure that as much as possible you're okay. I love you, and I'm sorry this happened, and that I didn't do better.
[One brief, familiar brush of his hand through Bruce's curls.]
I'll be sober. If you do call.
