The fuck, I haven't--? Shit Steve, that was just the truth of the matter. That isn't a compliment.
[ and he means that, the confusion is clear on his face at the thought that some version of him hasn't told Steve that he is a good man, hasn't told him that he is the better half of him in so many ways. sure they argue (fuck do they ever argue) but for Steve to not know-- for this to be new for him.
there is something a little broken in Tony when he looks over at Steve. really looks at him too. sees how he is younger, softer, a less jaded and confident man than the one that he left behind. he adores his Steve, loves him truly, but there is something about this one that makes him want to protect him. no matter how long he is here, be it a few days or more than that, Tony vows to do what he can to lift that weariness from him.]
Yeah, yeah I know that about you. Always having to be truth and justice. [ a smile, soft, as he wraps his arm around Steve's shoulder's and pulls him close despite the pull on his ribs.] C'mon Steve, you gotta get some rest too yeah? You went up against Thanos and that-- fuck, that isn't a walk in the park.
