No matter how angry he is at Tony (and he is), and how ugly their confrontation got, Steve isn't past caring. He's probably not capable of being past caring. There are no circumstances under which he was going to let Bucky be hurt, and the chances of him ever signing the Accords, even with revisions, were slim to none, but...
Yeah. Tony was his friend. Maybe he can be again some day, if they can forgive each other.
But none of that is Spider-Man's fault, and Steve isn't going to lay it on him. He just knows Tony puts too much pressure and guilt on himself, and he needs all the people--all the family--he can get around him to make him ease off. He's a little like Steve that way.
He follows the kid patiently to the lockers, and he doesn't have much of anything on him just now so he doesn't need one of his own, but it's good to know they're there. He's not going to question the costume. It's okay if he doesn't merit seeing the young man's face yet. Either he'll earn his trust eventually, or he won't and they can still work together under wraps.
"So if this works, are you going to open a local PINpoint repair shop?" he jokes mildly. "I could design your business cards."
