❝ god no !! you’d have to knock me out and drag me back there, never been so happy to be gone from there in my life … so of course i’m happy. i guess it’s just kinda setting in, we’re really doing this, we’re starting OUR life together away from all that back in philly. ❞ hand reached out to hold onto bucky’s, fingers lacing with opposing ones in a tightened, warming embrace. the last thing connor wanted was for his other half to think that he didn’t want this anymore, that he was regretting the sudden need to up and get the hell out, because he definitely wasn’t ; if anything, he had never been happier in his entire life. ❝ this is what i want … it’s what we both need. ❞
⟦ SMILE BEAMS, GLAD that happiness radiates from his boyfriend in immense waves, a far contrast to several weeks prior whilst back in philly, the looming cloud of his lecturer causing misery & torture to latch upon connor like vicious leeches. bucky hated to see such expression upon beautiful features, now beaming & aglow with the fresh start that lay ahead of them, smile of his own unable to become shifted. after all ---- it was a change for the former asset too, even if he had to leave his best friend behind . . . again. perhaps a worthwhile sacrifice when all that matters is the man in front of him, fingers squeezing affectionately upon the hand-hold taking place. this, with connor ?? is undoubtedly HOME & if the other male is happy, then bucky follows suit; contentment flourishing for the first time within veins, once thought never to be experienced again. ❛ —- NO MORE LOOKING over our shoulder, worrying, for both of us, huh ?? we can just ---- be ourselves, together ---- right ?? ❜ ⟧
