    Summary

    The distinction between Steve’s face scrunched in pain and Steve’s face scrunched in anger is minimal. Peña notices it, nonetheless.

    “Fuck you, Peña, my fucking wife left,” he bites back, grunting as he pulls himself up into a sitting position.

    Javier’s had enough of Steve’s bullshit, and taking another long drag, he retaliates with just as much fight. “Maybe your wife fucking left because she had to deal with this goddamn bullshit all the time!”

    It’s unfortunate how quickly he regrets those words. Almost as quickly as how the fire lighting Steve’s face fizzles out to anguish.

    Summary

    “You’re staring again.”
    “Sorry.”
    Bucky drops his gaze fast, down and away from the man currently reading the news on their shitty motel bed. He stares, he’s well aware, because every time he does, Sam calls him on it. It’s not like he minds Sam calling him out, but it’s also not like he can help himself.

    Summary

    Sam reaches out a hand and slowly, so very, very slowly, traces a finger along the seam on Bucky’s shoulder, where flesh blends into metal.

    ‘You gonna tell me why you keep wincing every time you put pressure on it today?’

    Bucky stays. Very, very still. Doesn’t shiver. He doesn’t. ‘’s nothing.’

    ‘Right,’ Sam drawls, sounding like he doesn’t trust a word coming out of Bucky’s mouth. Which. Fair enough. ‘So whose face met your nothing?’

    or; five times Bucky doesn’t give in, and one time he does

    Stede comes back.

    Ed does too. It just takes a little longer.

    Summary

    “Well then let’s make a deal, shall we?”

    “What kind of deal?” Ed raised an eyebrow, as showy as ever.

    “I’ll teach you to read, and in return, you finally teach me how to swordfight properly.”

    “I have been!”

    “Edward.” Stede rolled his eyes. “You let me stab you, that’s hardly the same thing.”

    “Good a skill as any.”

    “You’re ridiculous.” Stede huffed, but he put his hand out anyway, because it was Ed, and he couldn’t resist his charms if he tried. “So, is it a deal?”

    “I think we have an accord.” Ed grabbed his hand in a firm shake, his calloused palm burning warm. “It’s gonna be fun.”

     

    Sometimes your co-captain teaches you to swordfight and you teach him to read and you don't fall in love even a little.
