A/N: Oh geez guys. I am sorry this took so long to get out. I had a trip that I took this weekend and then I started my new job. Dang life getting in the way of fanfiction. I will continue this story no matter what and I will not give up. :) So look forward to the next chapters. Even though they might be out a little later than promised.

Disclaimer: just like in the previous chapters. I still do not own them. TT_TT

Chapter 4: Stay

Tony had followed Bruce to the little girls house in complete silence. He didn't want to say anything that would scare the little girl.

Both of them stood in the little girl's mom's bedroom. Bruce was taking the temperature of the sick women, while Tony stood in the farthest corner and watched.

"Well, your temperature is 101.5, I think your body is trying to fight off a serious infection," Bruce said, looking at the older women. "I will start you on some antibiotics tonight and you should feel better in no time." Bruce smiled.

Tony couldn't help but to smile. Bruce was so kind to his patients. It felt like his arc reactor would melt from Bruce's kindness.

Bruce looked back at Tony. "You sure are being quiet Tony."

Tony shook the smile off of his face and blushed a little. " Sorry. I was thinking."

Bruce raised an eyebrow. He noticed the blush on Tony's face. "Well, you shouldn't think so hard, doesn't look good on you."

Tony chuckled at Bruce's remark. Bruce turned back around and dug through his medical bag. As he did, Tony couldn't help to notice how muscular the Doctor's biceps were. His blush turned a deeper red at the naughty thoughts Tony had imagined in his head.

Tony snapped out of his fantasy when Bruce spoke once more.

"All right. Here is your prescription. Drink plenty of water and make sure you finish the antibiotics. You don't want the infection to come back. If for some reason the infection does not get any better, Contact me and I will be right over." He smiled warmly at the older women.

She reached up and took a hold of Bruce's hand.

"Thank you very much Doctor. I don't know what this town would do without you."

They all said their goodbyes and Bruce and Tony were off, heading towards Bruce's house.

A few minutes later Bruce noticed that Tony was walking at a very slow pace and still being abnormally quite. Bruce stopped and Tony walked past him, lost in his own thoughts.

"Umm, Tony?" Tony stopped and turned around towards Bruce.

"Oops. Sorry. I didn't see you stop." Tony said with a small smile on his lips.

Bruce looked at him with a blank face. "Tony, your not acting like yourself. What is really going on?"

Tony looked down at his fee. "Ok. To tell you the truth. I came here to ask you to live at Stark tower with me." He looked back up at Bruce, who had a confused look on his face. Tony continue. "But, now that I'm here, I can't ask you to stay with me. I won't ask you to stay. Not after seeing you work tonight. I see that your patients need you and you are so kind to them." Tony chuckled. "I can't ask you stay, even though I was working on a surprise for you at the tower."

Bruce walked over to Tony and put a hand on his shoulder. "You really want me to stay at Stark tower with you?"

Tony looked surprised at Bruce's question. "Yes. It gets very lonely there."

Bruce smiled, "I'll think about it."
