"I don't really get thoughts about me and anyone until I get hit over the head with it." Which is half true. He has thoughts, but he suppresses them as soon as he realizes they're there. "Up until a few hours ago, it would have been dangerously unfair to both sides of the equation." And that is entirely true.

Last time - not counting Kiara - had been very recently on his personal timeline and Steve had had to be the one to hit him over the head with the truth. It had gone off the rails so hard that even Hulk had known they had to go. Would that make Tony his rebound, too?

"So you're getting over someone and I'm finally in a place where I can think about being with someone who gets me." He glances down at the hand fisted in his shirt and reaches up to wrap his fingers around Tony's wrist, holding him there. "We're probably crazy if we go anywhere with that."

Because that's one thing about Bruce - he's not a no strings attached kind of guy.
