vintagecaptain: ([army] mourning)

The anger he expects. He's the only person in the room. He's the only person who could let it hit him and roll away. It hurts a little. Tony knows him best. He knows where to hit and Tony Stark doesn't pull his punches. His own anger surges up but Steve banks it down.

He walks around the table, heading for Tony's side. He fully expects Tony won't let him get close but he's going to make it very clear that he's not going out there, back into the field. He's here for a reason because that's where Tony is.

"Okay, you caught me. I don't want you going after Bucky," he admits it, leans hard into the truth of that. "Should've known I couldn't hide it from you."

Steve stops himself from saying that Bucky's as much as victim as Tony's parents. Now is not the time for that. Tony's hurting and Steve doesn't want to make it worse. This isn't a time to compare the grief and the suffering.

"But I'm not done here. I'm not going to leave you alone in this." He reaches out for him, fully expecting to get smacked away, maybe even thrown if Tony's really in the mood for a fight like he seems to be. "I'm not going anywhere."

Because his place was here right now with Tony. They're going to get through this. Steve doesn't know if they'll ever be the same because God, Tony's so mad. Steve might regrets this forever but telling him was the right thing. He knows that even though his heart hurts so much.
