[He doesn't like punching people that aren't fighting back. He would throw the man off, provided he wasn't really hurting him, but Steve is trying to keep from making a scene in the new place. After all, he doesn't have any authority, and this jerk isn't a criminal. (And he's right, isn't he? Steve is a good target because he never could figure things out.)
His hand slips from Tony's shoulder at the lie. It still hurts, that they can't get along, and it has nothing to do with fake dating. Steve ruins the act by walking away, but at least he does withdraw from the salesman, who seems upset that he's losing his mark. He chases after them, still trying to pitch them some of his special deals--and this time, trying to rope them both in as a couple. Steve winces.]
