Summary
Gale broke off. He was close, too close, already ashamed at his anger. John grimaced.
“It’s not…” He ran a tongue over his teeth, and Gale was surprised to see a flicker of something almost rueful in his face. “It’s not a drink I’m craving.”
Bucky needs to relieve some frustration. Buck keeps watch.

Summary
He would try to forget, to return to how it was. He would almost succeed.
But unavoidably, in the quiet moments, in the dark of his bunk, his mind would return there, to that moment. Phantom breaths ghosted his palm. Something roiled in his gut. He clenched his nails into his fists until they left marks and waited it out.
Buck is on edge. Bucky helps.

Summary
He had felt, in the moment - in that shared moment - his brain skittered over it, shy, refusing to replay it - he had felt a moment of perfect clarity. It had retreated, now, as quickly as it had come. He felt like he’d been set adrift. The ground beneath his feet was unsteady.
Something was flaring white hot in his chest.
Buck and Bucky clash. The aftershocks reverberate.
