That trailer from Civil War got to me, Tony's expression and response to Steve telling Tony that he's sorry but Bucky is his friend and Tony's simple. "So was I." I loved their dynamic, starting out on rocky territory with each other upon first meeting, and then growing to admire and respect each other.
There are just so many telling moments between the two of them. Tony doesn't let people tell him what to do, he is notoriously argumentative with authority figures. He doesn't let just anyone play the boss of him. We see Tony openly admit that Steve is the boss, the leader of the team. That coming from Tony is him showing his respect for an individual. We only see Tony do this with Pepper. Additionally he does back down from Senator Ross, but only because he knew what was at stake and being stubborn wouldn't have helped the situation. His main worry was getting Steve back and getting on Ross' good side was the only way to ensure that Tony himself would be allowed to do so.
We also all know, Clint's little quip to his wife when she states that their guests would have to double up, implies that Tony and Steve were gonna have to bunk together. A shame that it was never confirmed, that could have been for a good moment.
The ending of Civil War shows that Steve genuinely cares about Tony. Of all the people that Steve could have written that letter to, of all the people to give that phone to he chose Tony. Yes it could be argued he wanted it in the hands of someone who could rally the Avengers, but the letter held deeper meaning than just that. He states specifically. "If you need me." Steve could have sent that phone to Sharon seeing as she had helped him in getting to Bucky, she never doubted him from the very beginning. All in all it would have made sense for him to write to her, but Steve contacts Tony instead and ensures that there is way that Tony can reach him.
