Bucky's change in body language and quiet admission caught Tony's attention briefly, but then Rogers had to open his big stupid mouth.
"I've given him about five more chances, Rogers," he barked. "And how many of those has he wasted? Oh, yeah, that's right--all of them."
Once on his feet, he stretched a bit and flinched. Damn it, why did every single super soldier and super soldier knock-off want to beat his face in? And why did most of them nearly succeed? Tony eyed Barnes and gestured irritably at the floor, edging back towards the kitchen to get a drink.
"Since I'm such a nice guy, though, and since you seem to be getting serious enough to not make Captain Puppy Dog Eyes do your dirty work, you get the minute it's gonna take you to pick up your pieces off my floor to list all the reasons why it benefits me, personally, to put Humpty-Dumpty back together again."
