The future is a scary place. That's generally the sentiment of everyone, because the future is so unpredictable. It's that unknown variable that everyone dreads until it becomes known. Tony just has a lot of confidence. The future hasn't let him down yet.

And that's true now, too. Bruce returns the kiss and Tony hums into it with a soft, needy sound that betrays that he's been holding back. Bruce isn't the only one who was trying not to loose his cool. Tony practically crawls onto the couch to press closer, encouraged by the hand on his back.

The fingers of his right hand are caught up in Bruce's hair while his other hand gropes at the folds of his shirt. He'd love to get rid of that. Just pull it off and get beneath it right there so that they could continue what they were just doing. Only he's pretty sure Bruce will really run if he tries that. Still. He can't help trying to get the buttons undone.
