Tony sat alone in his tent, feeling worthless and lonely. He stopped writing Peter, because he didn't see the point. He was the worst dad for leaving him behind, he probably hated him. He promised him he'd be back in a few months and it had been two years.

He felt broken. He hadn't seen or heard from his husband in a year, and it carved a hole in his heart. He thought about Steve, and how beautiful he was. His handsome skin and fluffy hair that he liked to play with. And how he could always make Tony smile, no matter how terrible he felt inside. He needed that right now.

He wanted to give up. He wanted to end it all right there. End the pain that was eating him up inside. He held his gun in his hand, considering taking his life.

"Steve," he cried. "I miss you."

Little did he know, Steve was at home with Peter, writing Tony a letter:

dear tony,
