[There's something to that statement. Something that makes him feel somehow uneasy and settled all at the same time. There's more hiding there, beneath the surface, he's sure of it. Except Steve's often not like him, talking behind high walls. He's always been pretty forthright.
The problem is the discussion Tony thinks they're both talking around is one Steve has tried to have with him a few times now and he's always shied away. They've always shelved it.
But...
Steve did pick him. For better or for worse. A single-day baby crisis doesn't make him feel like he's capable of being a parent, but it has awakened a lot of other things in him. Things he might have otherwise been trying to keep out of his head.]
Feel me watching you?
Is that too much? It sounds creepy on second read.
That bodega needs higher quality cameras, by the way. You should tell them to upgrade.
[So he does what he always does. Moves on and jokes around. He'll have a lot to think about tonight.]
