Lost and broken was the only way he could describe it. For the both of them. Tony came back to nothing and he lost everything. He was there; waking up every morning wondering who would be next until there was no one left to take away. That was when Steve gave up.

Until that morning.

Steve said nothing. His own emotion tightened in his chest, and only burned more when he felt the weight against his side, and before someone could change their mind and take the Tony away again, Steve's hand came to rest on his back.
