Gladio was confused when Tony dropped his shovel and stormed over. He honestly though Tony intended to hit him... and didn't lift a hand to stop it, should the punch come. But instead of a fist he was pulled down into a kiss that was even more surprising. At least, until they parted and his friend spoke.

He smiled and wrapped his arms around Tony to pull him into a hug and a much gentler second kiss. "I'm not depressed. You'd be the first person I come to if that happens. I've learned my lesson there." Dealing with those feelings along had been hard. It had been so much easier once he'd admitted he wasn't okay. But right now? He was okay. "I'm better than I've been in a while."
