WHEN THEY’D PARTED WAYS AFTER GERMANY, SHE WOULD HAVE BET MONEY ON THERE BEING A LONGER INTERIM BEFORE SEEING HIM AGAIN ------------ he’d had his own business to attend to, and she’d gone UNDERGROUND to avoid giving ross the satisfaction of getting to collar her himself. (   of all the names and titles she’d had since graduating from the academy, ‘enemy of the state’ is certainly one she hadn’t exactly ASPIRED TO.   ) but here she is; here THEY are after walking side by side down a busy patch of pavement in brussels ------------- in her glorified shoebox of a flat. 

decor’s a little barer than she would have liked if she’d known COMPANY was coming over, but he didn’t giver her much time to go shopping for a new set of throw pillows. but they’re called SAFEHOUSES and not COMFORTHOUSES for a reason. “sit,” she’s shoo’d him towards the sofa that doubles as her BED (   depending on if there’s a sheet draped over it or not   ) more than once already. 

her patch up kit is a little LIGHT on supplies; and what is there is more than a few years old. it’s been awhile since she’s needed not only a place like this, but the kit she keeps above the sink. so he gets treated to a string of obscenities as she rummages through what’s left, realizing she’s going to have to head back out for a few things. which of course, once she mentions it, has him making his way vertical once again. 

jack’s old  /  @heroneed .

     he happily accepts this.

     there it is again  --  that pang in his chest, where it felt like his heart was in his throat so tightly that he couldn’t catch his breath.  thumb running along the tops and dips of the other veteran’s knuckles, able to feel the body heat against his front, though they weren’t touching ;  it felt like that was how things were.  close, never together, no matter the circumstances.  someone always talked, the news always got out.  after breaking a camera and nearly punching the owner in the face for being on his property in the first place, things were getting out of hand.  

             ☽                     familiarity  was  NOT  something  katherine  was  keen  on,  considering  she  had  no  idea  how  long  she’d  really  STAY,  but  she  was  only  human,  right?  steve  had  become  a  nice  CONSTANT  at  work,  and  she  couldn’t  deny  his  friendly  smile  was  a  nice  REPRIEVE  from  the  otherwise  lonely  hours  that  filled  her  days.  when  the  bell  above  the  door  dings,  a  SMILE  etches  itself  across  her  features  as  a  familiar  face  walks  in  and  finds  himself  a  seat.        ❛   hey  there  STRANGER,  nice  of  you  to  drop  by.  you  want  your  usual?   ❜

a cliche meme  /  accepting !! send 🙊 for our muses to meet up in secret.

     given their notoriety, going on dates was absolutely out of the picture.  jack morrison and steve rogers had already had so many contrasts drawn between the two of them by the media :  sky blue eyes, sunshine hair, strong jaws, positions of power.  it made morrison feel a bit narcissistic, if he was honest.  but letting steve into his apartment at midnight, chinese food waiting for them in the kitchen and a rented movie in the player already made it feel more like they were having an affair than anything else.  the excitement was there, the adrenaline, though in reality  ...  they weren’t even doing anything wrong.
