i think i've done this one before but whatever, indulge me.

Give me one of my stories, and a timestamp sometime in the future (after the end of the story), or sometime in the past (before the story started), and I'll write you at least a hundred words of what happened then, whether it's five minutes before the story started or ten years in the future.

try not to wonder what the weather will be - 1 yr later

"Tell me you're coming back," Bucky says. They're on the balcony smoking, waiting for Steve to get home from work. It's the last time Jason's going to see him before he leaves for Gotham.

"What are you talking about?" Jason asks, and Bucky just stares him down. "Bucky…"

"You get different when you mention that place," Bucky says. "I've known you a year, and I've never so much as heard you say your brothers' names."

"Yeah, well…"

"You can lie to Steve," Bucky says, stabbing his cigarette out in the ashtray they keep out here. "I get that, sometimes… But you can't get away with that with me, Jay."

Jason flinches, uses one cigarette to light another and says, "Bru - my... family calls me Jay." Bucky waits, but Jason's halfway done with his second cigarette before he says, "You guys would do just fine without me."

Bucky moves so fast Jason almost misses it, pushes him back against the railing and gets right in his face. He slips his hand under Jason's shirt, feels the ink there, the one he knows lies right over some kind of scar. "No," he says. He opens Jason's jeans, drops to his knees and looks back up at him. "Steve's not going to beg," Bucky says. "He'd let you go if you left and tell himself it was for the best. But if you want me to, I will."

Jason and Bucky are just getting back inside when Steve comes home. Bucky's mouth is bruised and Jason's hair is a mess, and Steve takes one look at them and says, "You could've waited." Jason gets a fistful of Steve's t-shirt, drags him down and kisses him hard. "Maybe," Jason says, "we were just warming up."

Okay, there may be kneeling and begging, but Bucky is SUCH a badass in this. I love Jason, and I LOVE that last line, and how Steve would let go and pretend it's okay, how Jason would too but Bucky can't, how Bucky notices changes when Jason even talks about Gotham - all of it is so great. Thank you!!!!!
