Steve takes a few minutes to stare over the city. Going through every conversation since the fight. It hits him, and suddenly he knows exactly what he didn't do. He stands, going inside after Tony. He finds him in the bedroom, the blanket pulled over his head as he sits with his back to the door.
"I'm sorry," He says softly. The room stays quiet so he says it again, louder, "I'm sorry!"
The mound on the bed shifts and Tony turns, looking at him, "Finally figured it out huh?" he gets to his feet, "After everything you did…never once did you apologize. Even if you think you're right, even if you think my being upset is uncalled for…you knew you hurt me and yet it took you this long to apologize to me."
Steve swallows, "I didn't think about it…I just…." He sighs and rakes a hand through his hair, looking off to the side as he tries to compose his thoughts before saying anything more.
Tony crosses his arms, and looks away, suddenly uncomfortable.
"I wanted everything to be ok again," Steve admits into the silence, "It should have been the first thing I said, I know that…"
Tony shrugs and sits on the bed, head dropping slightly. After a while he shrugs again, "I might have been picking fights…just to hurt you."
Steve swallows hard.
Tony lays back on the bed, staring up at a dark ceiling.
Steve slowly walks over, sitting next to him, "I still love you."
"I still love you too."
"Then maybe we could just…try again. Pretend we're doing this for the first time."
He looks over at Steve, and thinks about it for a few minutes before he nods slowly.
The blond leans over him, kissing his lips tenderly.
Tony closes his eyes and lets him, enjoying the feeling he's missed. He could think about how to keep Steve safe later…for now he just wants what he's been missing since Bucky resurfaced.
