Bruce smiles at that even if it isn't funny at all. Sometimes Tony's view of things can be so... innocent? Childlike? Not in a bad way, but just, it's like he thinks he really can kiss Bruce and make it all better, like he really believes in that. Bruce almost hates to ruin it.
"Because I hate him and resent him and you're supposed to be on my side of wanting to find a way to get rid of him," he says, and then wrinkles his nose. "Or that's how I felt before. You've changed my mind today I think, Tony, but I'm going to need a while to absorb that." Not to mention the idea that if what Tony's saying is true -- and despite Tony's vision of the world, he does believe him here -- then Bruce needs to think about he's been treating the Hulk.
"When you cut the infection out of something, it hurts, doesn't it?" He shrugs and then wraps his arms around Tony this time. "I'm not saying I'm on the road to healing, but I'm better because of today. Because of you."
