He laughs again, softer, and at his own expense this time. His body sways a little even for how gentle Steve is and he shakes his head, leaning in on conspiracy. "So you guys are public now. And saying the B-F words. Wow. That's intense." Intensity Tony clearly approves off or he wouldn't be goofy about it at all. It's so nice to see Steve happy - he deserves that. "Is that gonna be a thing? I mean. Because you're you."
One eyebrow shoots up and for a second he's afraid he overstepped again. "I just mean... when me and Pepper came out, it was a big thing. Because I'm me." But not only is Captain America taken, he's taken by a fellow hero. And a man to boot. He's sure there will be uproar just like there was for him. Negative and positive attention both. And sometimes the positive was creepy so you kind of welcomed the boos until that got crazy too. Having fans is weird. But he knows Cap has an issue with the way his image makes him infallible and all. Tony wouldn't be surprised if he used his relationship with Sam in some cool, positive way. He likes to think he did that by making Pepper CEO, especially since SI runs so much smoother with her at the helm.
