Steve swallows hard, audibly, compelled to meet Tony's gaze, feeling the same knot of anticipation coil tight in his gut.
"I dunno."
He knows what he wants to do, what he'd like to think Tony is implying he can ask for. It's hard not to infer SOMETHING from that look, the lowered lashes, the faint pull of a curious smile at the corner of Tony's mouth.
And now he's staring at his mouth, fixated again on a whole new part of Tony, feeling the disorienting rush of anxiety and desire clawing at each other for space in his chest.
There, for the first time, he draws a comparison to Peggy and the nervous flutter he felt when she'd look over at him from beneath her bangs and he felt he'd had a glimpse of Peggy the lady beneath Peggy the officer. There was something in the gentle curve of her smile that just made him feel light and warm.
There's something in the quirk of Tony's lip, and the spark in his eyes that makes Steve feel just like that all over again.
The 'flutter' is more of a 'thrash' now, but Tony makes him more anxious than Peggy ever did just by virtue of being who he is...
