    Summary

    “Shh,” Bob whispers again. “Just relax, John.”

    He does. He can’t help it. He’s fucking melting into the bed like Bob’s touch is magic, all of his thoughts dissipating in the sensation.

    “That’s it,” Bob continues. His touch grows firmer – thumb rubbing circles into the knots in John’s shoulder. “Just relax. You’re doing good.”

    The whimper that comes out of John’s mouth is entirely involuntary and incredibly embarrassing.

    “Just like that,” Bob murmurs as if John hasn’t made a noise. “I’ve got you. You’re doing so good.”

    It’s – he’s – John’s fucking burning up inside. He feels so warm. Doesn’t know whether to leave – to flee from whatever the fuck Bob’s words are doing to him, injury be damned – or to press back into the touch, to lean into the comfort and soak up these scraps he’s being offered.

     

    (Five times John discovers his praise kink, and the one time he acts on it.)

    Summary

    Everyone John loves leaves. He knows it’s turned him loud, sharp, and impossible to get close to—so a crush on Bucky Barnes should be laughable.
    Yet somehow, Bucky keeps showing up anyway.

    Day 1: John has a crush.
    Day 4: Touch-starved

    Summary

    To most people, John probably looks the perfect little soldier, despite some previous, minor hiccups. In reality, he's teetering on the edge of suicide. Not that he'd call it that. He just wants his death to mean something, okay?

    Summary

    The Green Mill was Bucky's. John was very, very well aware of that fact because it wasn't the only thing in town that belonged to the Barnes family. For one, the corner store across the street. For another, John's apartment.

    "Why'd you go running off, hmm?" Bucky tilted his head. His eyes were dangerously dark.

    "Not like we coulda danced," John wouldn't meet his gaze. Candles flickered orange over the table.

    "You wanna dance, doll? We can dance."
