Somewhere along the way the sun had gone down. He and Natasha had stayed, not quite ready to be apart, they'd got through it though. They always did. Steve was strong for her, what she'd been through wasn't something to be taken lightly, to die and everything that went along with that, well Steve might be the only one to really understand what it was like to come back from that. He'd been through it, the PTSD, the feelings, all of it. But eventually they'd parted, slowly on their own terms, knowing tomorrow would come and they'd both still be there.
Steve had intended to go back home, but as he'd got close his feet had taken him away and he'd walked, he'd walked the way he ran, feet silent on the soft ground. It was a lot to come to terms with, to try to understand and he felt like an absolute jerk for the way the news of Tony and his slice of life made him feel. But it left him aching, they'd never fixed it, not really. Tony had moved on and let go and Steve understood. But that didn't mean it didn't send him walking.
By the time he got back hours had passed and the dark had settled into his cracks and wrinkles. Their house was quiet and dark, the only light from the coals in the fireplace. Steve hadn't been expecting that, Tony had been up and busy for so long it had seemed like it wouldn't ever end. But end it had and Steve could see the outline of him there in the bed. He stood in the doorway, watching for a moment and feeling a lot like the worlds between them suddenly felt endless.
