[ It’s amazing how much things can change in a week. When he had first arrived from being stranded in space, even in his weakened state, Tony wouldn’t have accepted this embrace so easily. He would have tensed immediately, would have almost tried to pull away within moments.
But here, now, when Steve pulls him in he moves close and buries his face in the crook of his neck. He both still can’t believe Steve doesn’t hate him for not finding a way to bring their son home, and he’s thankful for it all at the same time. He doesn’t deserve it, he doesn’t think, but he just wants to get lost here for a moment. ]
I love you, Steve. [ Some part of him is still afraid he’ll leave again, he can’t help that after a two year absence, but... ] I love you, so much.
