❝ Well, this is awkward. ❞
'captain america: the winter soldier' starter prompts
Even though Ethan was around to help Colton along his rough path to recuperation it wasn’t in any way a paid position, it was all strictly volunteer, so when he needed to go out of town he always told him to take his time. Despite the fact that he never wanted him to leave, he just didn’t have the heart to say anything. It seemed unfair of him to request something as such, Ethan was still spry and had the world ahead of him; the world wasn’t an entity he felt comfortable with taking away in the least bit.
And now, here the cripple was, curled up in bed and staring at a picture of Ethan on his cell phone. He dearly missed the other and wanted nothing more than to curl up to the man’s back and bury his face into the nape of his neck. To tenderly kiss him and tell him how much he meant to him, to show him how much he loved him.
Ethan may have even walked in early from his trip to see him touching himself, though Colton was unsure if he knew about the picture itself.
“I uh, ‘m sorry, Et’an. I didn’, I don’–“
What could he say to make this situation a little less awkward? Was there anything he could truly offer to show that he wasn’t being one giant fucking creep?
“Ya back early…”
He offers as cheeks glow a crimson red, despite his embarrassment he’s still smiling softly just glad to have him back in his grasp. If his grasp was anything at all substantial; things between them seemed complicated, like neither of them could outright say their intentions.
“I, uh, I missed ya.”
