You know what I like about their friendship (I'm talking about the movie-verse because the comics is... err... well, they're not even friends in Ultimates) is Tony doesn't walk on eggshells around Bruce, isn't afraid that he'll hulk out at any moment, because Tony trusts him enough that Bruce's got this and wouldn't actually hurt people.
I can so see the whole team sitting down to some proper dinner post-movie & post-shawarma, Tony wheedling Bruce and teasing him about it while the rest of the Avengers look on horrified, with Clint saying "Stark, do you have a death wish or something?", Natasha having flashbacks of the Hulk in the Helicarrier, and Steve will be like "Tony, stop bothering Dr. Banner. We're in the middle of dinner." because Steve is the responsible team leader of course, which somehow translates to being the responsible Dad in the room. But Tony of course doesn't listen, scoops up the green peas from Bruce's plate (Tony has the worst concept of personal space ever), and munches on them, saying "Hmmm. Tastes like small round baby Hulks." And Bruce, who couldn't hold it much longer, laughs.
