Before what?

[God made Jack one way; his father tried to re-shape him into something else. In the end, both turned their back on him. Jack places his hand on Bucky's chest and takes a step back. The panic is starting to creep in now, making him feel the way he did when his father was whispering in his ear, telling him about the pictures that he'd kept from the press, the things he could not have if he wanted power.

Jack wipes a hand across his mouth, like he can erase the act itself. But it only makes him want more, the harps a frenzy inside his head.]

You must never tell anyone about this, James.

Before. Before Hydra. Before I was made into a weapon.

[His eyes still closed, he feels Jack step away from him, and he lets out a breath, forcing himself to stay where he is. He's alone. This is how it's meant to be. He's the tool. The weapon.

But before...

He opens his eyes in time to see Jack wipe his mouth. The order comes swiftly after that, and he straightens instinctively and nods.]

Understood.

[He wants to say something - to tell him that weapons don't kiss like that. Maybe to ask him about before. They're both broken, both lonely, and surely that would be easier to endure together.

But instead he says nothing, throat working as he swallows it down.]

You can stay here for as long as you like.

[He sighs, his shoulders slumping as he relaxes a little, not in relief, but in... acceptance. He's going to be alone again. Like he should be. He should never have tried to make relationships, he was never meant to have them.]

Okay.
