Summary
It was good, overall, that no one had ever managed to break Buck of his impulsive, hothead ways completely. Bucking the lead, Bobby thinks fondly. It’s the thing that’ll save all of their lives again before the end finally comes, he's sure of it, and one day it'll make Buck the best kind of captain, the kind his team will follow to hell and back.
But it must be said that Buck’s learned the value of listening, too, over the years. The deeper rewards that discipline can bring, and that can only come from surrendering. Letting yourself turn towards the guidance of a steady hand, instead of flinching away.
Bobby sighs, rolling his neck from side to side. The only light is a soft warm glow from the lamps on either side of the bed, the ones he and Athena had picked out together at IKEA, five weeks and a dozen lifetimes ago. His eyes meander over the chiaroscuro of Buck's bicep, and his wife's shapely calf hanging over it, and Tommy's big hands, holding Buck firmly by the hips, so that his thrusts stay exactly the same length every time: slow and deep, exactly what Athena needed in order to really let go.
