And, as far as Tony is concerned, he would never find out about Howard. But there are many reasons why, when he attacked Bucky, his explanation wasn't that he had killed his parents. Bucky had killed his mother, the one parent that had actually cared and given a damn about him. Not that he had been glad about Howard dying, but considering the man had tormented him whenever he remembered that he had a son... The one that he truly mourned more than anything had been Maria.
He knows the story about his arm is believable, though; it's the cover story he has used for years, after all. The one that he had used with the doctors, with his mother, because no one could know what had really happened, and there's a brief moment when he's glad that Steve believes the story, too.
He even chuckles, when Steve tells him the story of when he had broken his arm. "I'm not all that surprised that you used to get into a lot of fights, actually. Even back then." Because, knowing Steve, he knows that his never-say-die attitude isn't a new thing. It's one of those things that he must have had for years, and really, it's just more of a confirmation that he had been right all along about his guess.
"I'm an excellent driver, just...one that loves to drive a little too fast." He chuckles. "You have that feeling because you'd be right."
While Steve looks at his hand, Tony's busy looking at him instead. There's a hint of adoration that is very obvious to see, because it's hard to not fall in love with this wonderful man when he has such a way of getting under his skin. "Yeah, soldering. Scratches, cuts... I've worked on engines, weapons, robots, cars, motorcycles. I think I would have made a better employee at Stark Industries as anything but the CEO." When Steve places his hand next to his own, Tony looks over then and the smile never leaves his face before he turns to Steve to kiss his temple.
