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.

Summary
John had never needed to consider what came next. He had no concept of an after. Looking forward was a fool's errand, a waste of precious time. Every shout of laughter lingered, every sip of beer was savored. He lived the years he thought he wouldn’t get in the minutiae.
Or, how to build an after.

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
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
“What are you doing here, Buck?” John asked, pulling his hand away.
“Came to see a friend,” Gale said, putting a toothpick in his mouth. “Haven’t seen you in six months. Been three months since I last heard from you. Wrote you a few letters. Called a couple of times. You’re a hard man to reach.”

Summary
“John,” Gale reprimands, removing John's hand more forcefully this time, opening his eyes.
“‘s cold,” John’s eyes are still closed when he mumbles his reply, and he can feel the tendons in his wrist twitch where he’s holding it against the mattress. Gale scoffs.
“Don’t care. Keep your hands to yourself.”
