It had been a heck of a time recently, ups and downs, with a few more downs than seemed fair. It had put a real dampener on things, on Tony's birthday, on so much of the start of what they were sharing. But Steve was still grateful, to have Tony there beside him, to finally have him in a way he'd dreamed of for so long. But this? It was impossible to wrap his head around. How could there be a future where Tony wouldn't survive and he would? Where Tony would leave behind a family and Steve wouldn't be able to stop it?
He couldn't imagine what he was going through, but he knew that they needed to do it together. This future where they never found their way to each other was hard enough to imagine, but now he lived it alone. Tony deserved his future, deserved to raise his daughter and it killed him to imagine that he hadn't and the guilt mixed horribly with the pain.
But it wasn't about him, it was about Tony and he didn't need to see him to be reassured, he needed to be there to be there. Because it was Steve's first instinct to pull away, to be alone and he knew now that Tony needed him and that he needed him right back. The front door opened and Steve looked up to see him standing there, looking the way that he felt.
As soon as the door closed Steve had him back against it, mouth on his in a fierce kiss. He wasn't dead, he was here and they both needed the reminder.
