Tony can't help but blink once -- he'd been expecting something like I think we'd have fun, not this sudden outpouring of honestly. It makes his eyes flick away for just a moment, finding something fascinating on the far wall. He's not good with heavy emotion, never has been. Giving or hearing it.

But this is something more than just offhandedly suggesting a fun evening. At least, Tony's pretty sure it is. But either way, everything he's read has been very clear on the fact that open communication is important. So if they're doing this, he's going to have to suck it up.

"Okay," he says, making himself meet Steve's eyes again. "So, to be clear. I do want to try this. With you." He lets himself fall quiet again. Then, since Steve's admittance is probably worth something in reply, "I trust you."
