Bruce noticed you stifling another yawn as the two of you worked together in the lab. You had music softly playing in the background, the kind Tony would never allow when he was in the lab with the two of you. Bruce was temporarily distracted by your humming along. He loved working in the lab with you. You were just as intelligent as he was and far more ambitious. When you set your mind on something, you made it happen.

You glanced up and caught Bruce staring at you. "What?" Bruce gave you a small smile. You still had lines around your eyes from your protective goggles and your hair was a mess, but to Bruce, you were still the most attractive person in the world and he told you so. You blushed at the compliment and turned your eyes back to your work. This was why the relationship worked so well. The two of you were happy simply by being in the same room together. There was never any need for useless chatter.

You were both absorbed in your work once again and hadn't realized that night had come and gone. That was, until you heard the familiar voice of your genius friend. "Does the word 'sleep' mean anything to you two?" Tony asked as he sauntered into the lab. You peered up at him and then the clock. You laughed a little before a yawn escaped passed your lips. Bruce looked at you, taking in your tired looking appearance.

"You should get some sleep, Y/N," he said softly. Tony elbowed him in the ribs. "No, you both should go to bed. Don't make poor Y/N go to bed alone. I'm sure you'll both feel better sleeping next to one another. Now go! Be normal for a change!" he was scolding as he practically pushed the two of you out of the lab. Once you were out in the hall, Tony locked the door to the lab. You and Bruce laughed and headed toward your bedroom. There were no words exchanged as the two of you crawled into bed. You simply snuggled into Bruce and fell asleep to the beating of his heart.
