Tony looks away again. His expression is still troubled and uncertain.
"...Okay. If you're sure."
He doesn't think he's opposed to Gene doing this too, but it's not making it any easier for Tony to figure out how he feels about Gene's confession. Is this penance he can accept? Is this the apology he's looking for?
He sighs and runs his fingers through his hair, and quietly adds, "It would... be nice not to do it alone." That much is true, at least. He's not scared, exactly - the possibilities have been festering in the back of his mind for too long for any of them to be frightening anymore - but he is jittery and a little anxious. Even if he's not sure how he feels about Gene right now, he doesn't want to be alone.
