The one thing this conversation was proving to Tony the longer it went on was what an idiot he was. Somehow between the Academy and winding up here he'd forgotten how to talk to people? Or maybe it was just people who weren't Jan? He didn't really know for sure but what he did know was that every conversation he was having these days was leaving him scrambling for the right words and feeling less like the actual genius he was and more like some fumbling weirdo.
"Steve is just.... he can be very serious sometimes," And incredibly sarcastic at others and it left Tony feeling off center when they talked never totally sure if they were teasing one another or if Steve was actually being serious with him and maybe he cared just a little too much about what Steve thought about him to know how to handle that. "We haven't always seen eye to eye on things and so I guess I'm just really aware of how things could go bad again?"
"And I just, would like him to like me. It's all complicated, and I don't know what I'm doing around him. Every time I open my mouth I say something ridiculous." He admitted, this was not the conversation he thought he'd be having with a complete stranger tonight, a complete stranger whose name he still didn't know, but here he was spilling his guts.
