βMy name is Gale, Gale Cleven.βΒ
He says it firmly, as if he might be able to convince John not to travel down the path he was headed.Β
Heβs got skinny shoulders that pull at his uniform awkwardly, a scattering of freckles across his tanned cheeks. He looked like the heroes from Johnβs stories. Fair-haired knights that rode white horses and donned golden armor. Who were good all the way through, honorable and kind and always got the girl in the end. He was all man, with a womanβs looks and a working manβs gruff. He was, to John, utterly fascinating.
John smiles at him, tosses an arm around his shoulder and lightens the weight of the limb when he feels the other man flinch just slightly, βWell, Iβm sayin you look like a Buck.βΒ
Itβs a bit like pulling a girls pigtails. Gale sighs at him the same way, like he was more angry at not being angry than truly irritated. John finds he likes it just the same.
βYouβre John Egan, right?β
βCall me Bucky.βΒ
