Strawberry Vodka, Bathroom Sex and Bad Karaoke

Summary:

Bruce: If we don't go it just looks like you're still bitter about the whole thing.
Tony: I AM still bitter about the whole thing
Tony: My ex is marrying my ex I am allowed to be bitter
Bruce: If you come I'll buy the first round
Tony: fiiine
Tony: but I'm leaving as soon as possible

It's Steve's bachelor party. Tony and Bruce get very drunk. Then Bruce gets lost, and Tony chats up the snarky doctor at the bar...

Notes:

Written for the prompt "record" for Science Bros Week 2019. Chatfics are fun to write.

This is an AU in which there are no superpowers. Tony is a robotics tutor at the local university and Bruce is a physics tutor.

Obviously warnings for drunkenness, referenced drunk sex and general alcohol-fuelled shenanigans.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Tony: My ex is marrying my ex I am allowed to be bitter

Bruce: I survived Nat's birthday party so you can do this.

Tony: I'm going to stay at home and watch Star Wars til I pass out

Bruce: You're really going to leave me at a bar on my own, trying to make small talk with Steve?

Bruce: Or maybe someone will take advantage of a poor, shy physics tutor, alone at the bar...

Tony: you wish

Tony: it's going to be a shitshow and you know it. Bucky's coming so you know someone's going to get arrested

Tony: you know what? I think I have a fever coming on

Tony: yep, definitely a fever. I can't go, what a shame

Tony: That's cuz you know it doesn't get any better than this ;)

Tony: I think he's trying to debate the causes of the civil war

Tony: i used to find it sexy when he went full history teacher on me. Now it's just annoying

Bruce: He looks familiar...

Tony: Must be one of Pepper's friends. Steve doesn't have friends that hot

Tony: HE JUST SAID "STEVE IF I GAVE ANY LESS OF A SHIT I'D BE ASLEEP"

Tony: who is this man and how did he get dragged to Steve's shitty bar crawl, he's way too cool to be here

Bruce: He teaches at our place, some weird branch of metaphysics. He's a bit of a dick actually

Bruce: You'd like him. His name's Simon Odd or something like that.

Tony: I want to buy him a drink... but I don't want to interrupt this delicious steve roast

Bruce: Must have if I hooked up with you.

Tony: ouch

Notes:

Whaddaya know, some Thor/Bruce snuck in there! *whistles innocently* IronStrange is really growing on me lately, it's just maximum snark.

Fun fact: As of today, there are only 12 fics of Bruce/Stephen on AO3. The rarest of pairings.
