They both bring important elements to the team, both in their skills and their relationships, and without the other, the machine wouldn't happen. And yeah, I know, Tony's lying to Steve while he stares at him with pure love in his eyes, but I find something oddly romantic in the fact that even in betrayal, Tony is still providing something for Steve. It's like the world's most confusing prenup--Tony's already making sure Steve has a family when the divorce comes."
616-07 : "I remember." — Avengers (Vol 5) #29
Steve discovers Tony's betrayal, and it hurts for both of them.

MA-11 : "Let's get that burger." — Marvel Adventures: Avengers #27
While the rest of the team are at the fair, Steve and Tony decide to spend time with each other playing basketball and making plans to grab a bite.

Marvel 616
616-01 : "I'm not half as good at anything as I am when I'm doing it next to you." — Avengers Prime (2010) #5
SR: You were amazing up there. I'm sorry about the things I said before this happened. It's--it's just so hard to put away all the things that happened between us.
TS: All those things...All the things I said and did--I'm--I'm so, so sorry. I know it's not enough, but I hope you will allow me the chance to earn your friendship back. I don't deserve it...I just hope you let me. I'm not half as good at--at anything as I am when I'm doing it next to you. And that's the truth.

TS: It isn't personal, Steve. [...] I'm sorry your feelings are hurt.
SR: My feelings?! You think this is about my feelings? [...] We do this, but after that, you're out. You're done. And if something happens here that you have to account for...you're going to. No more favors. No more special treatment. You pay for your sins, Tony. Like everyone else.

616-04 : "You've got me watching over you." — Captain America & Black Widow #636
TS: Famous last words. But at least you've got me watching over you.
SR: Thanks...but don't think I've forgotten that I was right about Kash. You owe me a steak.
TS: I never back out of a bet. The best steak on the Sizzler's menu is all yours.
SR: Don't knock the Sizzler.
TS: Wouldn't dream of it. Although, to be clear, if I had been right, you would've had to pawn your shield in order to afford the meal you'd be buying. And, if you want, we can go double or nothing on whether or not you sit this one out.
SR: You're on.

616-05 : "Wake up, old man." — Avengers (Vol. 5) #1
TS: So...this idea has been running through my mind. It's overwhelming--all-consuming--and I can't shut it off. The exact same thing happened the day we found you.
SR: You remember that?
TS: Oh...I remember everything about that day. We started something that mattered. Because of you, the world changed. I changed.
SR: You remember that?
TS: Oh...I remember everything about that day. We started something that mattered. Because of you, the world changed. I changed.

"I know every thought he had about you, for instance. He loved you. He loved you, and he admired you. Even when you fought. All those times you thought you outsmarted him? Those times you thought you beat him? He had you. Every single time. He could've beaten you, and he chose instead to go easy on you, to spare you. You'd probably smile and say that made him the better man--but I'd say that made him weak."
At the end of Civil War II, 'Captain America' tells a unconscious Tony Stark that "[Steve] loved you. He loved you, and he admired you." and ultimately confirms that Steve's feelings for Tony run deep.
616-09 : "I wanted to save you." — Secret Empire #6
TS: I'm sorry. I know it's not really you in there-- I know it can't be, but-- I still want to say it. When we went to war, and I stood over your body, I knew I hadn't won anything. All I'd done was fail you. I said it then, it wasn't worth it. And when you came back? I told myself I would never make that mistake again. Until I did. Over and over. [...] Just please know-- I wanted to save you so badly. Because I wanted to be to you what you always were to me--my hero. I'm so sorry I keep letting you down, Cap.

3490-10 : Civil Union — Dark Reign: Fantastic Four #2
Case Study: Earth-3490.

SR: You sure you're okay, Tony?

SR: Can I at least get you a glass of water?
TS: No, if you just give me a hand up, I'll be fine, Cap. My legs are a little shaky, but otherwise I'm as good as I've ever been.
