"Tony is dramatic but he's a good guy. Even if he pretends he isn't." Or believes that he's not. Eventually they'd get through to him and Tony would realize that he was just as much a hero as the rest of them.
There was no way to know if he was giving her the right answer. It was the kind of situation that he never would have believed possible even after seventy years on ice and an alien invasion. It had to be frightening to make that offer, not knowing how much he really was like her Steve or if he could look past the obvious and see more than just the woman he loved. "I wished for a chance, but I don't want to be selfish."
Truthfully part of him did. Steve wanted to ignore that there had been another Rogers that had loved this Peggy and start something new with someone who would have some understanding of what he had been through. Someone who was as bright and vibrant as his best gal. But he also knew what he'd never forgive himself if he was selfish. "I don't want to lessen his memory. You love him and I would never... I wouldn't ever want you to give that up."
But he still held tightly to her hand, memorizing that smile that made him feel like he had in the taxi, jittery and star struck by the beautiful woman who saw him instead of his differences. He tried to memorize every detail, knowing that there would be a dozen drawings in his sketchbook later so that he never forgot that he had been given this moment with her.. "Maybe we should think of it as a chance for something new that they both would have wanted us to have."
