[ At the admission, Steve smiles a little too, even if its pained. But Tony should be able to feel the way his lips curl against him. ]
God, I love you. [ He whispers, before he closes his eyes and for the first time since they killed Thanos, two tears overflow from Steve's eyes and roll down his cheeks. One of them drips down onto the hoodie. ] I'm so sorry I wasn't here Tony. I'm sorry I couldn't fix it. I'm sorry that I could've had two full years with you and Pete and I wasn't there. [ He's whispering the entire time and the apologies seem to just come pouring out. At the end of this, he knows that Bucky is gone too. That it was the family he grew up with versus the family he found — and that in the end, he'd lost them both.
He'd lost everyone except Tony, who, despite everything, is still here, holding him.
Steve buries his face back into the hoodie then, and while he's not in danger of breaking into any sobs, he can feel his cheeks getting wetter, and god, he'd really like for it to stop. ]
