"I'm not!" definitely sounded angry this time, and it would probably get angrier if Tony had to hear himself say it another six times. It did break the seal on those 'I' statements again, so maybe Tony should get them all out before Steve made good on that threat and left him. "I've been here without you for years feeling like the only good I've ever done is because of you, and I'm just getting worse and no one can stand to talk to me and my--Jon--doesn't even want me in the house, and then you're here and you come into my--no one's supposed to be in here, and I don't have any armor, and I feel like if you breathe on me wrong I'll fall apart."

Jesus christ.

"I'm not angry. I have been trying--so hard...I never had to say any of this stuff, not with you. Maybe we do have to start over." Every fit and start was an aborted flick of his hand, bouncing off of the barrier of Steve's crossed arms and leaving Tony feeling like he hadn't completed a single thought, and still raw for it.
