Tagged by @wildehacked for snippet Saturday! Here’s something from uhhh untitled bad weather fic:
Bobby drove like shit most of the time, rain didn’t really have an effect on it. Well- not like shit, really, he knew what he was doing. He just cut sideways through 5 lanes of angry traffic and took corners going 50, and smirked at you in his smug midwestern way when you grabbed for the oh shit handle, the bastard. But he never hit anything. Never once even skidded in a puddle. They were on a grocery run once, Eddie and Bobby, back years ago, sometime after Shannon when things were still rocky with Buck and Eddie hadn’t almost drowned yet. It was raining, they hydroplaned, Eddie said “Oh, fuck!” but Bobby had stayed calm as anything, gently kept his foot on the acceleration, coasted till they hit solid ground. And he’d laughed at Eddie’s face when they’d parked. That old asshole.
He was always perfectly happy in the wet and cold. When Buck’s fingers turned a little blue and he’d start to teeth-chatter Bobby would tease him, merciless. These Californians I’d understand, he’d smile, a thumb jabbed back at a booing Hen and Chim. But you grew up in the snow, kid, what’s the matter with you?
And Buck would pout and roll his eyes and say I ran away and went to Peru for a reason, and Bobby would make hot chocolate and just so happen to do the upstairs laundry so the blankets from the couch would be all drier hot. Never tucked him in or anything, but as far as gestures go it was clean glass transparent.
