[for Bruce]

It's only weird if you make it weird. Don't make it weird.

With that thought firmly in mind, Wanda took a deep breath and knocked on Bruce's door, jacket slung carefully over one arm. She'd put the task of returning it off for as long as she could because she'd secretly been hoping that it might disappear with the rest of Manhattan and she'd be off the hook, but it was apparently native. No such luck there.

Not that she wanted to avoid him forever, of course, but she really had no idea how it might go, and as far as she was concerned, New Year's had proved that her judgment was apparently weirdly impaired where he was concerned. Still, as long as she didn't make a big deal out of anything that had gone down (which was pretty much nothing, anyway), she was fairly sure it would be fine. Why wouldn't it?

"Anyone home?"

Not weird.

"It took a little persuading - and several of SHIELD's most heavily armed," Bruce quips, redirecting his gaze to her face.

"No one can say I'm not an accommodating guy."

"It feels like a lifetime ago now," he admits, raking fingertips against the back of his neck and scrunching up his expression slightly along with it.

"Had a lot of people show up since then. Lost more, I think. I don't know enough people to know when every disappearance happens, but there are some I'd definitely notice." He slowly lets his hand fall, and his eyes find hers again.

"True, but how many almost shut-ins do you know around here?" he jokes, gently leaning into one of the shelves, his hip notched against the sturdy frame.

"This is probably the longest time I've been away from my own place aside from New Year's. What kind of influence are you having on me?"

"Case in point," Bruce responds, with an idle gesture between the both of them.

"Do you think any good could come from a repeat offense?"

It took a fair amount of self-control to not let his gaze drop to her mouth when she hooked her lip with her teeth, a place he had done a fair amount of thinking about in recent days.

"Probably not," he echoes, stepping in. "But didn't we just get done talking about how we're both lacking in good these days?"

The anticipation is that it'll be a mirror of last time, potentially - soft and slow and seeking, but the way she approaches it immediately ratchets up the level to ten and beyond, breathing something out loud seconds before she kisses him, her lips strong against his own.

The Hulk might be dormant now but there's still those instincts there, the ones that call for him to claim, to possess, to mark, and he has to will himself to take her into a warm embrace instead of a rougher one even as a groan rises deep in the back of his throat and he pulls her tight to him, fingers tangling in her hair.

That sound, from her lips to his ears, is intoxicating; the taste of her lips similarly draws him in. His other arm winds low across her back, palm pressed flat between her shoulderblades, and he gently flexes his grip in her hair, enough for her to feel it without pulling. It's the exact opposite of their conversation earlier, stiff and distancing. He sways with her now, kissing her long enough that it feels hard to breathe.

His first instinct upon her drawing back is that it must be too hard, too forceful and that's the reason she's pulling away. Yet he doesn't want to completely relinquish his hold on her, even as he slowly relaxes his grip in her hair and eases his arms to a looser embrace around her.

"I'm sorry, was that - are you okay? Did I hurt you?"

"Oh - " Bruce gets out, but only just barely, because then he finds his mouth very thoroughly occupied again, his arms encircling her a little more when she steps forward, close enough for him to feel the soft curve of her shape against his own. His hand smooths down her back, tracing her spine slowly, and the only reason he breaks away this time is to kiss her jawline and the side of her neck, nuzzling over the softness of her skin.

She's intoxicating. How could he have missed this for so long? She's in his arms now and he doesn't even know how he never realized what was right within his reach. That gasp of hers is the exact reaction he's hoping for, and he nips against her pulse point as it flutters to the touch with every heartbeat. She's breathless, and he's not faring much better as his fingertips press into her body and he loses himself in her scent, her responsiveness.

He wants to say something, wants to tell her so that she knows she's incredible, amazing. But he's drowning in her and he's worried any words are just going to snap them out of this haze they continue to fuel by giving in to each other's touch. He can barely curb a shudder from the sensation of her fingers in his hair, and his mouth finds hers again, hungry and wanting, his hands anchoring low on her hips as he pulls them into his.

His heartbeat is a constant rush in his own head, only broken up by the sounds she makes, the ones that make him want to lean in to hear them as close as he can so he's the first one there the second they tumble from her lips. She's in his head by the way his body is starting to respond to her - stirring in ways he'd long been convinced he wasn't able to experience without serious risk.

There's nothing to bring him back to a reality - no heart monitor on his wrist, and the only dizzying sensation he has isn't at all like the feeling he gets before he slips into blackness, before the Hulk takes over. It's just the headiness of her warmth, her scent, her hand trailing against his skin, and he's fumbling behind her for purchase before guiding her up against a shelf, pressing her there needfully yet gently.
