Steve couldn't deal with the fact that Tony had said he loved him. He had dealt with lovers telling him that in the past, but of course he hadn't reciprocated those feelings. But for some reason, he was at a loss for words. Was it possible that he had feelings for Tony?
Steve looked up, into his friend's eyes, which were filled with a terrible sadness. He tried to form the words, but they wouldn't come.
"Let me guess," Tony said quietly. "You don't love me back." His voice sounded tight, as if he was trying not to cry. "I could see this coming...I really could."
"It's not like that," Steve said hurriedly. "I'm still trying to come to terms with my own feelings...I have no idea how I feel, or how to deal with any of it."
Tony just shook his head. "We might as well leave, as soon as the snow melts...return to our normal lives, forget any of this ever happened."
"How can we forget?" Steve asked. "I know I'm breaking it off, but how are we going to forget? There was something there...won't it be awkward to work together?"
Tony shrugged. "I can always just request a transfer," he said matter of factly. "But first, Steve Rogers, you need to figure out what you want."
