    Summary

    Fists shoved deep into his pockets, Steve glimpses the front door and makes a beeline towards it, shoulder-bumping anybody in his way. There's nothing waiting for him when he gets home but an empty house and possibly more alcohol, and that's all he wants. He wants quiet, and he wants to be alone. From here, the door looks like a beacon of light sitting amid black, bottomless water, and he strides towards it, one hand withdrawing from his pocket to reach out towards refuge, and he's close, so close, when a strong grip snags him by the elbow and yanks him back, pulling him away from safety and bringing him to drown.

    Summary

    Steve hates lies. Steve hates bullshit. Steve hates when the two coalesce into something heart deep and painful.

    So he doubles down after the fiasco of Tina’s Halloween party and thinks what better way to move on than revel in the pain that chains him.

    -

    “But why?” Hargrove watches him smoke like it’s a gem he’s just unearthed, new and his to appreciate. “It’s gotta hurt like a bitch, making them lie to feel good for a while.”

    Steve shrugs. He’s tired and wants to go to bed. He wants to finish this smoke and grab another cup of something bitter and stinging to forget the rest of the night. He’s still hard, and he’s annoyed he couldn’t get off with Carol. Annoyed more that she couldn’t come up with a reason to want him.

    Annoyed that Hargrove, of anyone on earth he could have told this to, seems to understand it at its baseline.

    “Sometimes you gotta lie to feel good at all. Sometimes nothing else works, because pretending now and then makes the rest of it feel a little less fake.”

    Summary

    Asterius is no impatient man, and he would be happy still if his king never made a move towards him again, content to be by his side - yet, he misses the moments of quiet borne of contentment rather than whatever thing has been troubling him, the way Theseus rides him and looks at him as though he were the only other man in the underworld.

    He prays, sometimes, to Aphrodite - for Theseus to find his way back to him.
