He leans forward until their foreheads can touch, and he closes his eyes, gently running his fingers through Tony's hair and onto the back of his neck. Bruce doesn't think his words get through to Tony so much as his actions do, so here he is, in Tony's embrace, not running, and honestly, no longer that afraid that Tony's going to bite him. They've gotten over that hurdle, and maybe sex will be a different one in terms of Tony and his urges, but Bruce is confident they'll get through that one too.

"You're not losing me. I'm here, and I love you just as much as when we went to bed. I signed up for you, and you're still you, just a little different." He kisses him softly and pulls back.

"Thriller dance and all. We'll work through this."
