If this is supposed to be one of those moments, then I couldn't. It wouldn't be considerate of what you've endured, why it's difficult to think past at all, and I don't want to make it okay for you to feel bad about reasonable fears coming from your past experiences. It'd be hypocritical, considering my own past, anyway.

I love you. I want that to be enough, right now. Can it be?

[lawyerbyday]

Yeah, it can.

[His hands slid up along Bucky's back, then down to that small dip at the base of it, a soft sigh leaving him as he moved to tuck his head against his shoulder.]

I did miss you. Like fucking hell. And worried. So I'm going to want to make sure you're all in one piece. I can do you the courtesy of returning the favor, but I'm pretty sure I still have a bruise on my thigh from a few days ago.

( his breath shuddered alongside the shiver brought by the run of matt's hands. a quiet hum settled into the back of his throat as he leaned in closer to rest his head gently against matt's. )

It's okay, darling. I. I understand. I'm all here. I'm not going anywhere. There's time.

[It was the way he leaned into him, the fact he accepted that he was being an overprotective, needy jackass, and hadn't gotten up and left. Matt felt something that had been clenched tight around his heart loosen up a bit, and he let out a sigh of relief.]

Yeah... there is. Are you staying the night?

[counterstep]

I'd planned to. If that's alright.

( his right hand found matt's hair, carded gently through in careful appreciation. )

I know you've said before, but it's, ah, polite not to assume. Force of habit, maybe. Trying to be polite. Obviously, I'm not always polite.

[lawyerbyday]

I don't mind so much when you aren't. Usually means you're caught up in it all to remember manners.

[Not a bad thing, either. He liked making Bucky forget himself. Liked when politeness and civility between them was left at the door. It made it feel more real.]

And yes, of course it's all right.
