[Writing is messy and his responses are slow since he's writing blind.]

Hey if you're not too busy could one of you get my second pair of glasses from on top of my drawers for me?

I

He kind of smashed my usual pair last night.

[greenmoonrising]

[Shakes head.]

I'm good for another hour. If you're bored you can go back to the castle...

[Don't go don't go don't go Tony you're warm and smell nice.]

[arrogantalloy]

[He raises an eyebrow and looks at him. Still in his sulky cross armed position.]

Who said I was bored. This is me trying to get you back for all the times you demand that I eat or sleep. I'm not going anywhere.

[greenmoonrising]

Yeah except in your case you never sleep properly. I only have this nonsense once a month.

[arrogantalloy]

[He heaves a big sigh.]

Hey, look. I'm actually trying to look after you for a change. Will you just be grateful and accept that I'm trying to look out for you?

[greenmoonrising]

I appreciate it. [Sliiiiiiiiiiiiightly leans more against Tony's side, still working on homework.]

[arrogantalloy]

[He glances at the lean but keeps quiet about it.]

You know the best way to appreciate it? Is to actually sleep. Because if I can't get you to do it, then obviously I'm not as good at looking after you as you are looking after me. And, well I don't like that, so sleep.

[greenmoonrising]

[Snorts and shakes his head.]

Just lemme do a couple more subjects and I'll take a nap, okay?

[arrogantalloy]

[Frowns at him.] Bruce.

You do better when rested then tired when it comes to homework. You don't even have to get off the couch, just sleep here.

[greenmoonrising]

[sighs]

I know that but... homework.

[arrogantalloy]

It will be there when you wake up. Now get comfy, or I'll stop eating fruit and vegetables.

[greenmoonrising]

Jerk. [HUFFS and grumbles while putting his things away carefully before hunkering down and leaning more against Tony, blanket slipping from a shoulder as he yawns.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Shifting a little so both he and Bruce are comfortable, Tony watched his bare shoulder, licking his lips.]

Yeah well, I'm a loveable jerk, right?

[greenmoonrising]

[Snorts, yawning more and slowly succumbing to fatigue and nuzzling into Tony's shoulder, blanket slipping more.]

Whatever.

[arrogantalloy]

[He looks at him nuzzling]

No, wait, that's going to get uncomfortable. Here.

[He pushes his shoulder back as he lifts his arm and rests it on the back of the couch.]

It might not be much, but my chest is comfier than my shoulder. Less pointy angles.

[greenmoonrising]

[Blinks blearily and just nods and curls up against his side, cheek against Tony's chest.]

You can shove me off when I'm asleep and go later if you want.

[arrogantalloy]

Not happening. Now sleep.

[Ignoring his better judgement he reaches up and plays with Bruce's hair.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Shivers a bit and makes a soft happy noise, leaning more into Tony]

[arrogantalloy]

[Flushes at the noise, but keeps playing with his hair. Slowly smiling after a while.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Dozes off after a while, curling up comfortably against Tony and tossing an arm over the younger boy's waist.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Pausing, he stares at the arm, Tony lets out a deep sigh.]

Oh boy.

[He goes back to playing with his hair.]

You don't make anything easy for me, know that?

[greenmoonrising]

[Shivers as Tony keeps playing with his hair, curling up more comfortably against Tony and nuzzling his chest.]

[arrogantalloy]

[Swallowing herd, Tony then realising he's alone in here with Bruce, breaks out into the stupidest grin. Because normally it's him snuggling into Bruce like a child. Feeling safe enough, he kisses the top of his head fondly.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Makes a soft noise, lashes flicking against Tony's collar as his eyes start to open.]

Mm...?

[arrogantalloy]

[Tony inhales at the feeling of the eyelashes, going still as he feels him waking up a little.]

You should be sleeping.

[greenmoonrising]

Wasn't I...? [Blinks and yawns, nuzzling collar sleepily.]
