Way too high and reading ao3 so forgive me but I can’t stop imaging a fic where the phone Steve gave Tony just didn’t work for some reason, so after the dust has settled and Tony works up the nerve to communicate like an adult (or is dying and called one last time to confess feelings 👀) he can’t reach Steve and ends up thinking it was some kind of cosmic joke. When in reality it was just a piece of tech he could’ve fixed if he didn’t believe that Steve didn’t care about him
