Short #2
Part #2
Part 1
Hero turned their back to the bathroom door, a beam of light peeking through the cracked door, the faint, almost muted sound of running water disturbing the idle radio-filled ambiance from before, a jazz song, some they had never heard before playing.
Villain had arrived then, and the routine would follow: silent steps for their blood-stained shoes were left at the door every night, shower, dinner, and after they would pretend to fight the want to lay besides Hero, only for a few minutes of play-pretend, of false stoicism before giving in, opening the covers an settle in bed.
Hero would take their arms in their own grasp after a while, feeling the embrace of the other tighten. To admit the fear they had both felt was senseless, it was only to make themselves look vulnerable and there was no point on that, they could communicate perfectly well though only touch, Hero huffed.
A hand on their shoulder.
"Are you awake?" Villain asked, Hero grunted in response "Come, join me in the shower."
With an opposing grunt, Hero walked behind them to the bathroom.
Hero had had a hard time keeping up with daily tasks after the event, they knew Villain was aware. Eating, showering, getting out of the room were then not so optional suggestions.
They did not think that as per their enemy's words, allowing Villain to do whatever they wanted was going to get them bickering about something as simple as eating an carrot. But it did.
When inside the room, it was apparent that the dirty clothes were already placed away, the steam from the hot water fogging the mirror.
"You already showered," they said.
"I wanna do it again,"
"How convenient."
Yet, despite their protests, Hero allowed themselves to be undressed, clothes two days old thrown to the designated basket.
Water was lukewarm, a negotiated middle ground from Hero's ice-cold showers, and Villain's burning-hot ones. Hero's muscles did distend at the touch of the water, and Villain's hands on their skin felt as a reassurance.
A rough hand, though with a soft touch, brushed over the scar dangerously close to Hero's heart, the middle of their chest, just slightly turned to the left.
"I'm sorry," Villain whispered.
"You’ve already apologised, it’s okay."
"It’s not, I could have lost you, you could have been dea…”
“Villain,” Hero interrupted, the concept of their very close encounter with death was still upsetting, they, some night, were still afraid “it’s okay.”
“What if one day is not, what if one day you wanna go back there, if you want to leave me and go there, what will I do then?”
“Maybe,” hero said, stopping to think about their answer, they did not know, then and there they could not imagine an scenario where they wished to go out, to get further from Villain than arm's length, yet, they knew a wrong answer could condemn them to stay “maybe then we’ll have healed, and you’ll be able to let me go.”
“Will I be able?” Villain answered, turning Hero’s face around with a firm grasp by their chin “Will I want to?”
And then, with Hero’s heart beating faster, abnormally so, why would it? if they knew Villain so well.
Then, they reciprocated a kiss.

Henry shifts in his seat. Crosses and re-crosses his ankles, expels a sigh. There’s a shuffling somewhere behind him even though most of the cabin is asleep by this point, and Henry knows what’s coming before it happens, hates the way his heart still skips several beats anyway.
A sea of dark curls. Warm, kind eyes. A slanted, smiling mouth, a dimple carved into the side. One hand holding a tall, steaming coffee, the other a mug full of Henry’s favorite tea. A whisper, a brush of fingertips in the trade off. The more important details.
“Hey, sweetheart.”
It’d be something out of Henry’s most treasured fantasies if he didn’t already know they’d be the last words this man ever says.

Seven Sentences Sunday
Nobody tagged me but I've finally been writing in the buddie longfic and wanted to share. This isn't the last thing I wrote in it but whatever
Eddie knocks on Buck’s door for the third time, waits for a few seconds, then shakes his head. Still no answer.
“That’s it.” He says, then fishes out his keys from his jeans pocket. He shows them to Christopher, who in turn gives him a bright grin. “He did give me this for emergencies and his low mental health is an emergency.”
Chris nods seriously.
After learning more about mental health issues with Shannon and Christopher going to their own personal therapies and the three of them having their own family therapy, Eddie was worried about Buck’s decline since he heard that he had wholed himself inside his apartment after quitting the fire department. At first Eddie wasn’t gonna tell his son, worried about Chris already dealing with a lot with the divorce being finalized soon, the baby coming, and watching Buck puke up blood and almost die. But Chris had been worried about him already since he didn’t show up for movie night, so Eddie had told him and they hatched this plan together.
After all, what’s better at beating darkness than a burst of sunshine?
“Can I do it?” Christopher asks, giddily.
Once they open the door, his son loudly exclaims, “Buck! We’re here!”
They’re answered with a noise coming from upstairs.
Chris giggles. “He snores loudly.” He then sniffs. “And something smells funny.”
All around the kitchen island are takeout boxes with leftover food and drinks while the sink is filled to the brim with dishes. Yikes. It’s worse than he thought.
Another snore reverberates throughout the entire apartment.
Looks like he’s going to have to do some tough love.
Tagging: @wh0re-behavi0r @honestlydarkprincess @saybiwithme @bidisasterevankinard @watchyourbuck @monsterrae1 @wildlife4life @hoodie-buck @eddiediazisascorpio @parva-noctua @steadfastsaturnsrings @insecuregodcomplex @confetti-cupcake and anyone else who wants to do this!
