    Summary

    But Ghost didn’t seem to mind, quietly filling the kettle before setting it to boil, those dark eyes watching as John paced the kitchen, one arm flailing about in the air, the other locked tight around his half-melted pint of rocky road.

    He told Ghost he was stressed. That the entire MacTavish clan was coming into town, which meant awkward hugs, judgmental stares, and nosy questions from people he hadn’t seen in years. John could handle all of that, he really could.

    But what he couldn’t handle was the questions. Why he hadn’t settled down yet, why he didn’t have a nice Scottish girl on his arm.

    Why he wasn’t married with a child on the way, because Ethel and James weren’t getting younger, and John was already too old. For fuck’s sake.

    “Maybe I don’t want to bring home a wee lass,” John had snapped, voice cracking as he dug his spoon in harder than necessary, a brown, congealed clump of freezer-burned rocky road flying onto the floor. “Maybe I don’t even like women, has anyone considered that?”

    And there, in less than twenty words, John had completely outed himself.

    Summary

    “Two guys walk into a bar,” Ghost says.

    “Not in the mood,” Johnny growls.

    Silence.

    “The third ducks.”

    “Bleeding Jesus, Ghost,” Johnny mutters.

    “Why don’t dinosaurs talk?” Ghost asks. He rocks back on his heels, face still pointed upwards.

    “I’m not doing this with you,” Johnny says.

    “Why don’t dinosaurs talk, Johnny?”

    There’s a perfect stream of water falling off the ends of a branch a few yards off. It’s making a tiny pond in the forest floor far below, a pond that is slowly swelling out of its banks and turning into a river, trickling through fallen leaves and bracken. Johnny stares at that, refusing to meet Ghost’s eyes. He’d swung his gaze around to look at Johnny, head tilted slightly down, eyes glinting light through the darkness of the mask and greasepaint. That look turns Johnny’s spine to jello, breaks down his resolve and makes something dangerous warm in his stomach. He doesn’t know if Ghost is aware that he does it, if he knows how fast Johnny’s resolve crumbles at that look.

    “Why don’t they talk, ye fuckin’ bobber?” Johnny says through grit teeth.

    “Because they’re dead.”

    Summary

    A strange, almost glitching sound came from above, but he didn’t still his movements until he felt fingers push over his scalp, grabbing onto his hair and yanking his head back.

    “Jesus, what the f-”

    Reed froze, hand tangled in cables, looking at RK900. A deep blue blush colored his cheeks, moving down over his clavicle and chest. His stoic composure from seconds before was now completely gone, replaced by a wide eyed glare. Even his perfectly quaffed hair had shifted just enough that a few strands now hung in his face. His body seemed to be in some sort of panic mode, giving the effect of heavy breathing.

    “I told you to avoid the wires.”

    Summary

    "You always like sharing food with strange, damp neighbors?"

    Steve chewed his bite, taking his time to answer. "Only the ones who look like they'd had a long week."

    Peter chuckled. "Okay, fair point."

    They fell into quiet as they ate, but it didn't feel like silence — it felt like rest. There wasn't a need to fill it with chatter, and Peter relaxed with the reprieve. His nerves slowly settled, even with the acute awareness that he was having dinner with Steve Rogers, who Peter remembered even though Steve didn't remember Peter.

    Peter discovers that he's next door neighbors with Steve Rogers and his crush may not be quite so one-sided.
