His voice softens when Bruce tenses up. He's not backing down, but he's not yelling at him, and he doesn't want Bruce to feel that way. Tony leans over him, one hand moving from thigh to shoulder, sliding behind it and up to cup the back of his neck.
"I'm not going to let anything happen to you. Promise. Sometimes you have to trust people, Banner."
But talk is cheap, Tony knows that, so he decides he probably needs to back up what he's saying. He leans down and kisses him. It's quick and not invasive, but it's there. A warm brush of lips against lips and his fingers curled in the hair just at his neck. Bruce isn't the only one wanting things he can't have. It may seem stupid, but this is important to Tony as much as anything is.
