    Summary

    “Missed you the other night,” Bucky says, cheek resting on the handrail, peering up the stairs.

    Gale hikes his bag of groceries up a little higher and looks back. The other night was two and a half weeks ago, and Gale’s not seen Bucky since. He stays in instead, reading And Quiet Flows the Don and eating mac and cheese emptied from a can. He talks with his cousin on the phone about her upcoming wedding and Gale tries not to think about how he wishes her fiance would die.

    Summary

    The invitation was lovely. Thick and smooth paper, printed in blue cursive.

    Together with their loved ones, and in bigger font under it, Marjorie Spencer and Gale Cleven. 11.11.45

    But below it, in Gale’s straight hand, Would love to see my best man. Come as soon as you can. An address below it.

    Bucky would go wherever Buck asked him to be. Be it in Wyoming or in fucking space, he would have made it there.
    -

    Buck wants to do his wedding right. Bucky wants to do right by him.

    But also: Bucky wants Buck to be happy. Buck wants Bucky to be happy.

    And that is a little more difficult to get done.

    Summary

    “Jesus Christ, Buck,” Croz’s voice beside breaks him out of his almost trance.

    Buck looks over to his friend, it’s not that he forgot he was there - more was temporarily uninterested in his presence. He raises an eyebrow in question of the statement.

    “You officially have the worst taste in men.”

    He lets out a small laugh, and takes an inconspicuous sip from his glass of ginger beer.

    “What?”

    “I mean come on, that guy?” Croz nods back to the bar.

    Gale shrugs, “I didn’t say anything.”

    “You didn’t need to. You haven’t stopped looking at him since he walked in.”

    Sucking in a breath Buck leans back in his chair casually.

    “So what?”

    “So… That boy is nothing but trouble.”

    It’s not like Buck doesn’t agree, trouble is practically written on his forehead, but what so wrong with that? He seems fun, and Gale isn’t opposed to a bit of fun, it’s not like he needs to marry the man.

    ***

    or, bucky is running from life. on the road to nowhere, he stumbles into buck’s bar. things change.

    Summary

    Gale makes it over the wall. That's about how far he'll ever get.

    John goes back home, makes coffee, buys flowers, loses his mind, collects letters, and then sets out to find Gale himself, since no one else seems to be able to.
