THE DINER ON THE CORNER PROMISES SALVATION  in their sweet tea. it tastes metallic    —    almost like copper, but still strangely sweet. when you ask the waitress what it’s made of, she smiles. her irises are as black as her teeth. you haven’t gone back to that diner, but every once in a while, you can still taste that tea.

the roadside ads only ever talk about god. you’re driving    (   do you remember getting in the car  ?  )    and they read, REPENT, and HELL IS REAL. next to you    —    a peeling billboard with a phone number on it, promising to tell you where you go when you die. you realize that, actually, not one sign mentioned god himself. you don’t call the number.

there is a house down the road    —    nobody’s lived there for years, but the lights are always on. night comes, they shine through your curtains    ;    a neon red spotlight, looking for you, always looking for you. when you ask your friends about it, they say it follows them, too.

               peggy knows her body — how much she can TAKE, how the ache in her bones waxes and wanes depending on the day. she knows each scar, each bruise, each scratch, rather intimately. her trained muscles and scarily fragile skin knows how much it can take, and this –––– this was something it didn’t know how to handle. peggy stumbles, catches the edge of broken cobblestone, an attempt of holding on.

                they’d thought the building had been abandoned — it was in shambles, and there had been no activity for MONTHS. but it was rigged — the second peggy went in too deep, something EXPLODED. not violently, a ––––    ❛  gas, there was ––– there was a –––  ❜    peggy works on finding her voice. it’s SLURRED, and highly unfocused. still, she tries.    ❛  breathing is…difficult. strange taste on the back of my tongue ––– fresh. like, like grass. pulse ––– mod-moderately high. adrenaline. it’s ––– i’m dizzy.  ❜    she’s UNSURE what it is, but the world spins, tilts off its axis, and peggy feels herself slide down the stone. sitting helps, but only barely. 

              her explanations are oddly calm for someone in her situation. she keeps trying, but peggy can’t focus on him. it’s frustrating.    ❛  tell ––– no one is allowed in. we don’t know what it is, tell them –––  ❜    she can’t get enough oxygen to keep herself comfortable, but she IS breathing. peggy’ll take it, at this point.

“You. Me. Cuddle. Now.”

“Don’t move, I just got comfy.”

“I’m scared, hold me!”

“I bit my lip. Will you kiss it better?”

“Tickle war has been declared!”

“Bunny pyjamas, really?”

“I’ve never seen so many kittens in one place.”

“Come on, just one bite.”

“How do you accidentally buy sixty birthday cakes?”

“I never imagined you were so… ticklish.”

“You’re so huggable.”

“You’re under arrest for being too cute. Put your hands where I can hold them.”

“Have you fallen asleep on me?”

“Am I dead?”

“Another one?”

“And what if I don’t?”

“Are you afraid of God?”

“Are you crazy?”

“Are you lost?”

“Are you really that shallow?”

“Are you sure it’s okay?”

“Are you sure there were no…

“How do you really feel about me?”

“Can’t you pretend to love me this once?”

“Would you care if I was gone?”

“Don’t you know the hell I go through to keep you safe?”

“I can’t take this any longer. Help me.”

“Deep down, you’re scared. Aren’t you?”

“You’ll stay alone if you push others away.”

“How many lives have you taken with your own hands?”

“Just for today. Please.”

“You’re the only one who’s never called me that…”

“We can make it work! Let’s run away together, you and me!”

“I… have loved you this whole time.”

“Treat me as you see fit. I’ll still protect you. It’s my role after all.”

“Maybe it’s too much for me to expect kindness.”

“You give me meaning, even if you take it away.”

“Please… hold me. Don’t say anything, just… hold me.”

“Woah, when did you get that?”

“Who did this to you?”

“How many time have I told you to be more careful?”

“You’re saying this was an accident?”

“What a shiner!”

“If you look like this, I’d hate to see the other guy.”

“I’m not buying it, you don’t walk into a door and get a bruise like that!”

“Does it hurt when I touch it?”

“Let me kiss it better.”

“If you don’t rest, you won’t heal.”

“Another fight?”

“What happened to your face?”

“I don’t think your arm is meant to bend like that…”

“Let’s get you to bed.”

“Let’s get you to the hospital.”

“Why are you so calm about this?”

“You’re bleeding!”

“What are friends for, ey?”

“So, instead of helping you, they ran off the moment they saw what was happening?”

“You need to look where you’re going.”

“I’m not accusing anyone, I’m just saying it looks suspicious.”

“Do you want to tell me what really happened?”

“Don’t move! You’ll faint!”

“I’ve got some bandages, wait a sec.”

“You’re the clumsiest person I know.”

“I won’t let you be on your own, not when you’re like this.”

“How could you be so careless?”

“I can’t even look at you, you promised not to get into any more fights!”

“H-how many of them were there?”

“Do you want to build a snowman?”

“The past is in the past.”

“I’m where I’m meant to be.”

“I know you!”

“A dream is a wish your heart makes.”

“People down here think I’m crazy, but I don’t care.”

“For once, it might be grand to have someone understand.”

“Just look at the world around you!”

“Someday my prince will come.”

“If you had the chance to change your fate, would you?”

“If you cut it down, then you’ll never know.”

“But you’ll never know me.”

“Don’t you dare close your eyes.”

           her smile is warm and filling, pulls slow at the edges of her mouth almost as though she’s SAVORING it. peggy, of course, knew he cared ––– they were friends, after all, two unlikely people who met during a time of WAR. of sadness. but steve, he’s soft and kind, with COMPASSION dripping from every pore. 

                                                      she PRAYS that heart is never stolen from him.

            it’s an honor, really, knowing him. peggy doesn’t think she’ll ever meet someone like him again. to be cared about so strongly by someone so genuinely good — well. she must have done SOMETHING right.    ❛  i know, steve,  ❜    no captain rogers, this time —    ❛  but it’s a mission i’m prepared for. i’ll be ALRIGHT, i promise. do you trust me ?  ❜

           ❛    you don’t have to do that, really.    ❜       accented tongue speaks on AUTOPILOT — it’s true. peggy can buy her own cup of coffee, but she’s working on being less volatile about it. besides, she probably looks absolutely mad –––– if she saw someone like her acting odd on a bench, she’d probably try and offer help, too. peggy smiles, but it’s soft and a little bit slow. however, at the very least, it warms her — and gives her the willpower to stand. even if she doesn’t go to get coffee, peggy would have to stand EVENTUALLY.        ❛    the caramel one sounds rather nice right about now. it’s nearby, you said ?    ❜

              it ACHES, feels like everything’s on fire. the wound through the flesh of her stomach hurts in a way peggy has grown comfortably used to NOT feeling. serious injuries haven’t come her way in a long time, and –––– she’d taken it for granted. 

              the last person she wanted to see while in this state was dottie. that kind of vulnerability was almost DANGEROUS ; but peggy doesn’t have the stamina to fight. and dottie ? dottie lives for the fight. this would be too easy — at least peggy hopes. she leans HEAVILY against the doorway, knuckles white, and fights every urge to relax her shoulders. being hurt doesn’t make the problem go away. peggy still has WORK to do. dottie’s ––– questioning ? concern ? ––– won’t make a difference. 

              air is SUCKED IN through her teeth, loud and painful.   ❛  well, this is what i have to work with — i don’t see any other options, here.  ❜

               she’s EMBARRASSED, is what she is. at, what, twenty five, she shouldn’t be this RUN DOWN. peggy has no one to blame but herself. fingers sweep to push dark strands of hair from her face, and she can only IMAGINE what she looks like, right now. she’d all but stumbled to the bench. unused to feeling this vulnerable, peggy wants to be BRUTISH, snappish, snarl her way into solitude –––– but she swallows it down instead. unnecessary anger wasn’t a quality of hers.

                he’s a bit silhouetted by the sun, and it kind of hurts to look, but she smiles, half-sheepish, half uncomfortable. leave it to her to find the nice pedestrian.   ❛  i’m fine, simply — needed a moment, haven’t had the chance to find some source of caffeine this morning. you know how it is. thank you though –––– for checking. quite kind, really.  ❜
