Bruce is trying really damn hard, and this hot tub is going a long way toward keeping him from throwing up a white flag and packing it in.
"Okay, so only you can beat the shit out of your friends. Tell me you wouldn't put on that armor and go butt in if someone else was doing it without you." Sorry, but he doesn't believe it.
If this is going to be a light vacation that actually feels like a vacation and not an extended therapy session that Bruce is entirely unqualified to conduct, he's going to have to get Tony sobered up and take him out among the extremely varied population of the city.
Just the thought of going back out into the city is enough to make Bruce want to sink entirely under the water, and his thoughts are on how they can navigate the masses without getting their asses handed to them when Tony's words draw his attention over to him.
So yes, he ends up too surprised to dodge a kiss and caught in a momentary overload of are there hallucinogens in this hot tub? or maybe how drunk is Tony? with a cherry on top of so he wasn't kidding?
It doesn't make for an enthusiastic response to the sudden press of lips against his. That's got to be for the best, but damn does this remind Bruce of how lonely he is.
