    Summary

    Maybe Steve was selfish to take it personally. Maybe it was his punishment to keep reliving what he’d done — to know Tony could save the universe beside him but couldn’t bear to meet his eyes.

    Love, Tony discovered, fails scientific examination. It’s not a pure substance—it’s a synthetic mix of attraction, devotion, trust, respect, and countless micro elements.

    He only trusts Steve 41%.

    Only respects him maybe 53% on a good day.
