✂ "Now. Before you fall down. Thirty-six hours on your feet is too many hours."
✂ - point sternly at a chair and tell my muse to sit down // in which malakh writes while sleep deprived, like some kind of method actor
"Don't be an old lady, I'm fine. You know my record's four days?" Stark's eyes are fever-bright in the way of the desperately sleep deprived. Too long with too little sleep and you stop feeling tired and start feeling kind of like a god. Tony doesn't feel like a god yet, but he's getting there. He could do anything.
But Banner is still looking at him and there's only so long Tony can ignore those eyes of his, so he does exactly what he doesn't want to do, which is start closing down the billion holographic tabs he has open.
He knows if he sits down right now he's going to want to pass out in a heartbeat.
"You," Tony says, leaning his hands on the back of the chair instead, looking at Bruce with bright-eyed interest, "are bad for productivity, you know that?"

⁂ Tony's back hits the wall. There's a fist knotting up his collar.
"Quit. Fucking. Pushing."
Banner's eyes are like reactors. His voice has dropped ten stories and out through the bottom of the earth, dragging out from between his teeth. The vibrations make the reactor buzz in his breastbone.
"You don't want this."
The animal part of his brain is shitting itself a little, because that's just what a mammal brain does when something stronger than it moves it suddenly against its will. The rest of him, though--
Tony is excited. Jittery with it, and shouldn't be, because this is dangerous and he's pushing Banner too far this time, he knows, but if Banner can just see it's okay, he wants this--
Banner's voice drops. Tony's bones rattle, the reactor buzzing uncomfortably in his chest; he's never more aware of how fragile his heart is than when he's reminded of its presence. Banner--at least one of him--could destroy it if he tried hard enough. Literally and figuratively.
"Kinda do, though." He hasn't moved. Banner's fist is tight in his collar and Stark can feel the cold press of the wall against his back, and he doesn't move. "That's sort of the point, I don't go poking bears if I don't want them to bite. You need to learn how to let loose."
And, sure, he isn't Hulk-proof. Who is? But he's at least Hulk-resistant.
