[ When he sees those tears, it feels like a stab in his chest, and Steve is surprised that tears aren't showing up in his own eyes. They're waiting, just beneath the surface, but they haven't made their way out yet.
Instead, when Tony says he's too late, Steve stares at him for two seconds, with a determined kind of sadness in his eyes and the lines on his forehead. Silently and gradually, Steve stands, but he makes no motion to leave. Instead, he takes a breath before putting a hand on the metal handles on the side of the bed — and slowly leans forward.
Part of him expects Tony to hit him before he can get too far, he's certainly going slow enough for Tony to be able to.
But if he doesn't — and in some cases, even if he does — Steve's temple will gradually make its way next to Tony's, just as his nose gently presses against Tony's ear. ]
I'm so sorry Tony. [ He whispers, as he closes his eyes. ]
you should definitely feel free to have tony hit him
