what doesn't kill me makes me love you more

@london-cowboy on tumblr and @london_cowboy on AO3 no (they/them), 31, UK; this is an outlet for my fictional frustrations

Behind the blindfold, Gale shuts his eyes so tightly it hurts. His feet are unsure on the ground, but he has to remember he’s safe here. He’s safe with Bucky, and he needs this—without knowing exactly why.

“The—” he tries. God, he might cry. “The flight.”

Behind him, the subtle sound of a belt unbuckling, the slide of leather through denim loops.

“What flight?” “The…” He swallows. “The day of the crash. The crash that killed him. The day I—"

He can’t. He fucking can’t. He shakes his head, nods, shakes his head again. Bucky steadies him with a hand on Gale’s back again.

“Do you want me to do it, Buck?” he asks. “Do you really want me to punish you like that?” Gale opens his mouth and begs, a whole litany of pleas sliding off his tongue.

“Then I need to know what for,” Bucky says. “I won’t do it unless you tell me what happened.”

It makes sense. Cruel and kind. Like Bucky himself.

Several Sentences Sunday Tuesday

tagged by @pinenutpbj wheeee thank you thank you exc ited to see where that bad boy goes

for me we've got some Dom John todayy

It takes a minute for Gale to remember his hands are free to take it. Cool down his throat, soothing in a different way to john’s touch. 

It’s different with just the two of them or so it feels to Gale. The air less charged– and more so. 

“I appreciate you being a good sport,” John says conversationally, shuffling papers, body in constant, necessary motion. Like a shark. He had the same toothy grin. “Even if it’s not your thing,” he goes on, “most people won’t approach it with an open mind.”

“I called it a pervert class,” Gale rasps.

It gets a chuckle from John, rather than any offense, air puffing from his mouth with in a quick rush. 

“Well,” he says, “yes.”
