Bruce Banner- Sleeping (c)

Something shook you to consciousness. You didn't like whatever it was, you liked sleep, it was peaceful and serene there. Reality was a pain and it was very stressful.

You spent every night alone. You were happily married and you loved your husband dearly, officially you shared a bed with him, but he worked every night and most nights you never got to go to sleep with him by your side.

Not only did he have to work a lot, but he was so scared he'd hurt you, he tried to keep contact for a minimum. It hurt you that you didn't spend as much time as you'd like with him, but you knew he loved you, and you were doing your best to get him to be comfortable around you without fearing your life.

The shaking continued until you let out a strangled groan, and your eyes opened letting the dreaded light in. You looked around. The light was brighter than usual, painfully bright. As your eyes scanned the room you saw that you weren't in your bedroom. You were at the desk in Bruce and Tony's lab where you did your paperwork during the day.

Last night, you went to bed alone but couldn't sleep. You went to the lab and Bruce wasn't there, but the growing pile of paperwork was, so you decided to start doing it, but you must have fallen asleep.

"Y/N, you okay?" Bruce whispered resting a hand on your shoulder.

It took you a second to get your bearings.

"I can to look for you last night, but started to do work. I must had fallen asleep here," you yawned.

"It's an unusual difference to be waking you up in the lab, isn't it usually you who has to wake me up when I am working in the middle of the night?" He smiled softly.

You smiled tiredly at him.

"Maybe you should come to bed more often at a normal time rather than working at all hours," you frowned.

He sighed as you stood up. He wrapped his arms around you pressing his lips to your forehead.

"I am so sorry dear, let's go to bed, and we can both sleep, and tomorrow... well technically tonight I'll come to bed when you go to bed," he smiled.

You nodded resting your head lightly on his chest, as he hugged you.

"Let's sleep, I am very tired," you whispered into his chest.

"Of course, Y/N," he stated, pulling his arms from around you.

Once he stopped hugging you he laced your fingers with his, leaning down to kiss your shoulder, before both of you made your way to go upstairs to bed.
