⋆˙ john figuring out where bob came from before anyone else does

Floridian lifeguard Bob x divorced dad on his first vacation alone John.

When John almost drowns at a pretty late hour, Bob drags him out of the water and gives him the most awkward mouth to mouth breathing ever seen and a definitely concerned round of questions about why he has decided to go for a swim while reeking of alcohol.

John will never admit to him, or to himself even, that he drank and drank just to numb himself, and that as the current pushed him under, for a moment he had felt something akin to peace.

But Bob seems to read between John's snarky deflections a little too easily and insists on not leaving him alone.

Even if John's ashamed, he enjoys the long lost company a little too much. Even if Bob feels like he's out of place, he doesn't want John to leave.

They stay up talking until the Sun rises far up in the sky.

After that night, the two inevitably run into each other every day. Each time, their gazes are glued to the other, even from afar.

Bob is so distracted by his lust for that man he can barely do his job.

John suddenly feels the urge to act on the instinct he's repressed for 40 years.

They will meet every evening, with a new excuse every time, sometimes from Bob, some other times from John, the outcome won't change and their attraction won't stop growing.

Bob RIGHTFULLY gets his gay flowers for gushing at John's praise in this scene, BUT what about John praising him to begin with??? The eye contact and little nod and the soft sincerity in his words??? Taking a moment after a fucking traumatizing experience to make bob feel good about himself???

This acknowledgement means EVERYTHING for John, who struggles to externalise his genuine care for others, doing so only when he trusts them. His relationship with bob wasn't great and he wasn't sure of how Bob would've reacted and he STILL exposed himself.

named robert but goes by a nickname that starts with b, underestimated as the token nice guy, curly hair, adorkable, suicidal tendencies and a dark side fueled by trauma/anger/etc that can destroy everyone and everything! :)
