Notes: This is a part of mine and Suruberry's headcanon verse that we've created. Continuity-wise, it's a mishmash of comics, cartoons, and movies. We've basically gone about cherry-picking what we like and leaving out a lot that we don't, so things are probably not gonna line up right with any one singular canon verse since there's bits from a lot of different places. Hopefully, someone else enjoys this just as much as we have.

it's been a year
Tony has never actually wrapped a gift in his life. He’s also never really shopped for gifts for other people either; mostly because the only people who are in his life who have stayed are Pepper and Rhodey. Pepper usually handles the shopping, otherwise Tony buys them something ridiculous and frivolous.
But he knows exactly what he’s going to give Bruce. It’s just a matter of giving it to him. There’s a lot of questions that Tony doesn’t have answers to – and asking Pepper is out of the question, she’ll give him that look she gives him whenever Bruce comes up in conversation.
Which leaves Tony sitting on the floor of his lab, weighing an arc reactor – twin to the one in his chest – in his hand. It’s bright white light glares at him, as though it’s accusing him of something. Of what, Tony’s not sure.
It’s something that he knows that he’s been wanting to give Bruce for a while. Pepper’s jokingly referred to it as proof that he has a heart; Tony isn’t entirely sure about that, but what he does know is that Bruce owns whatever heart he has.
He trusts Bruce completely. Bruce is so much better than him – and yes, that is a little weird to be saying about a man who dresses like a bat and fights crime, but it’s true. Bruce is a better person than he is, than he could ever hope to be, and he loves that about him.
There’s a lot more that he loves about Bruce, but he’s trying to keep it simple.
Stroking the surface of the arc reactor with his thumbs, Tony watches the light flicker between his fingers and stares at it. It’s hard to believe sometimes that this little thing is all that’s keeping the shrapnel from his heart, keeping him alive, and he wants to give this to Bruce. It’s a lot like giving away his heart.
He’s cliche and stupidly, ridiculously in love with Bruce Wayne. Tony’s kinda accepted that this is the truth and there’s no getting away from that. And this is the only real way that he can show Bruce just how much he trusts him, just how deep this love for him that he has goes.
Tony stares at the arc reactor in his hands for several long minutes, until the bright light is making his eyes burn.
He has absolutely no idea how to wrap it. Should he wrap it? Or should he just press it into Bruce’s hands with a kiss and try not to run away? Tony’s shit at this and he knows it.
What he does know for certain is that Bruce will know what this means. Tony might not have told him everything, but Bruce is smart and he knows a lot.
Maybe it’s about time that Tony tells him everything.
FIN.
