Steve takes a few bites of pizza, not looking back at Tony for the duration. He's got that thousand-yard stare again, except that it's focused on his plate which is not that far off. It's weird how quickly the pizza goes from tasting not-great-but-palatable to sawdust in his mouth. He nods silently, swallows, clears his throat.
"Yeah. Yeah, it was always Bucky, and he knew it by the end, but it's not that simple, either. It's possible to love a lot of people at once, Tony. I loved Peggy, too. If things had been different, maybe the three of us could have made something work; I don't know."
"I guess the trouble is if you love more than one person and then lose 'em all it tears you up even more."
He shakes his head hard to clear it, takes a breath, and sets the plate aside. "I'm sorry. About Pepper. I can't even tell you how sorry I am."
