Don't count on it.

In our bedroom after the war...

episode 1 // i have to tell you, dorothea grossman // episode 9

bucky egan acts like the war widow of all time in eps 4 and 5. aside from the fact that everyone was gearing up to tell john about buck going down like he was a wife on the home front, you’ve got the suicidality and recklessness, the drinking and insomnia, the need to burn down what took buck even if it reignites his own moral crisis about the cost of war, the last minute jacket switch so if he goes down it’s not in a jacket buck hates… i am gonna be thinking about this forever

MASTERS OF THE AIR + everyone knowing Bucky’s weak spot

thinking about john and gale cutting each other's hair in the stalag

blunt stolen scissors and dusty mirrors and john being so heavy handed that sometimes gale's eyes go a bit wide at the size of a clump of hair that falls to the floor but he knows that john likes it when his hair grows out so he's sure he won't butcher it too bad

[or alternatively, john being so careful and gentle in comparison to the way he usual barrels through life that gale is surprised, watching the concentration on john's face in the mirror, heart fuzzy]

gale taking it so seriously, running dark curls through his fingers as he tries to keep them neat but long, being gentle around his ears, so focussed while john yaps away at him, having to pause every few seconds with how much john shifts around so that he doesn't accidentally take his eye out

john shaking his head to shake out loose clippings when the haircut is done like a dog shaking water off its fur, gale watching him so painfully fondly and reaching up to brush a clump off his shoulder

Major Gale 'Buck' Cleven + drinks

Gale and john dancing around the kitchen table , it's 3 am and the moon is as bright as ever.

They're not really dancing more like swaying side to side , soft jazz music is playing on the radio.

They are both gazing at each other trying to capture this image in their minds , every little detail .

Gale is enamored with John dark blue eyes , the colour of the sea after a storm .

Similarly john is captivated with how the moons light bounces off of gale .

How do you think buck and bucky hug each other over time .

I think at the beginning I think they would just pat each other at the back or a shoulder hug and as they begin to be more comfortable around one another it progresses to actual hugs.

As their feelings start to grow so does their hugging and casual touching. They hug just a few seconds more than what hugs usually last and than of course bucky will let his arm stay over bucks shoulder . That's completely normal because bucky is always physically affectionate with his buddies .

And when there nobody but them , I think that bucky loves hugging buck from behind, wrapping his arms around his waist and burying his head onto the crook of bucks neck.

Buck likes hug him while laying down so that he put his head on his chest and listen to his heartbeat, after a stressful day to calm his down . I also think he likes knowing that bucky is with him alive and well .

Let me know your own opinions 😊

JOHN "BUCKY" EGAN in MASTERS OF THE AIR, PART ONE ↳ are they all like that?
