   Summary

   They had been dancing around each other for a bit now, neither of them crossing that line turning flirtation into more. Bob stood there with an innocent enough look on his face before taking a step towards him. Then another. John was unable to move, didn’t want to move. It was like he was stuck in a trance.

   “Yeah, you’re definitely not an asshole right now,” Bob whispered.

   Or: After living in the tower for a while John Walker finds he and Bob's relationship becomes as taut as a rubber band, one move and the tension will snap it.
