Tony looked like Steve felt. He was four months away from being there two years and every second of it showed. His shoulders slumped a little when he stood, his face turned scruffy from the days he "forgot" to shave, and his eyes weren't as bright and determined as they used to be; the way Tony might have remembered them, though one thing remained: Steve was still more worried about others than himself.
When Tony looked at him, he spared a moment to shrug and take a look around even though there was nothing to look at. Steve's eyes eventually locked onto the other man.
"Someone had to." he said, his voice low. What he wouldn't add was that despite Tony, Pepper, River, and Jane being gone, being there made the nights feel not as lonely.
