The corridor reeks of damp concrete and old arguments. Bucky stands framed in the doorway, his hoodie plastered to him by the downpour, his knuckles raw and discolored from a conflict he waged within himself. The air is dense with the echo of your last shattered conversation, yet his fist found the wood anyway. When you opens the door, any resolve disintegrates. He steps inside, boots discarded, the lock engaging with a sound like a sentence being passed. "One more night," he murmurs, his gaze shadowed and intense, holding a hunger that refuses to be reasoned with. The beautiful, destructive cycle begins anew.
