Summary
In which Natasha bullies Steve into treating his chronic pain through massage, and he meets someone in the waiting room whose body is even more fucked-up than his own. (And eventually things get happier, I promise.)
"Steve Rogers had never been healthy, even before long-untreated childhood Lyme disease had fucked with his immune system and wreaked havoc on his joints. He was deaf in one ear, comically nearsighted, terribly asthmatic, and he had a heart murmur. He'd been in and out of hospitals all his life; been poked, prodded, penetrated, prescribed. His body wasn't ever comfortable, was never a home or a place of pleasure – it was a collection of graphs and charts and diagnoses."
