Bruce could tell Tony was struggling. It worried him, and he made a mental note of it. He couldn't do much for him at the moment. If Peter knew that Tony was struggling, it would devastate him. He would just keep an eye on him for now.<br/><br/>Peter returned Phil's smile with a small one of his own. “Thank you, mr Coulson.” He took the offered plate and nibbled on the cookie as suddenly Bucky was there and talking with Phil. He lowered it as Bucky turned to talk to him with one hand on his shoulder. “Thank you, mr Bucky.” He appreciated that Bucky didn’t tell him any of that. He had hated hearing it as well with uncle Ben, and he knew now wouldn’t be any different. Especially the ‘better place’ one. The best place May could be was alive and with him, not dead.<br/><br/>“Buck’s right,” Steve said as he walked into the kitchen. He walked over to stand next to Bucky, a sympathetic expression on his face as he looked at Peter. “Words like that don’t help when you’re sad.” He looked tired, and Peter suddenly remembered it hadn’t been that long since Peggy died. Not to mention ofcourse that both Steve and Bucky were from a completely different time, and everyone they knew was already dead. They never got to say goodbye to them. Peter couldn’t imagine what it was like to wake up in the future and find out that everyone he ever loved was dead. “I’m sorry for your loss.” Peter swallowed as he nodded. “Thank you, mr Rogers.”<br/><br/>Peter appreciated all of them coming to offer their sympathies, he really did. It was all just a bit too much, overwhelming him. Tony, Happy, Natasha, Bruce, Phil, and now Bucky and Steve. It was too much for his fragile state, and he was barely holding back a fresh wave of tears. Every offered sympathy was another painful reminder of what he had lost. He didn’t want to cry in front of everyone. He knew the others wouldn’t judge, but it still felt wrong. That was when Bruce caught his eye, and the understanding and kind expression on his eyes were almost like a silent permission to cry. That seemed to do it, and Peter let out a small sob as he started crying again. Bruce took the plate from his hands and put it on the counter before tugging Peter into a hug. Peter clung to him, and Bruce tightened his hold on him. The kid was always smiling and joking around, and it was heartbreaking to see him break down like that.
