    Summary

    “What do you want to put on the pizza?” John asked, pulling an easy recipe up on his phone.
    “Pepperoni,” was Bob’s reply.
    John blinked. “That’s it?”
    Bob shrank in on himself. “What’s wrong with pepperoni?”
    “You could put anything on this pizza and all you want is pepperoni.”
    “I still don’t see an issue with that,” Bob said.

    John Walker is hopelessly starved of human connection and, despite knowing he has an absolutely heinous case of assholery, he can't help but be drawn to Bob, who is notoriously not an asshole. When Bob asks John to teach him how to cook, the two can't help but begin to intertwine. John just hopes he doesn't end up destroying his chance at a meaningful relationship before they even make it to friendship.

    Summary

    It’s just Bob. Just his hand. Just the warm press of his skin against John’s skin.

    Christ, when was the last time someone touched his skin?

    Bob’s mouth falls open, slightly, almost a gasp, like he can feel the way John’s body is reacting to him—

    John blinks— and falls into the void.

    Summary

    Desperately, Bob tried to forget finding his mother unconscious, calling an ambulance, and riding with her to the hospital, after she had become too overwhelmed to cope anymore. Once his mother was stable, the nurse told him, she would be admitted back onto the psychiatric ward. Then, his father had arrived, out of breath from rushing, and screamed at him in the waiting room about his stupidity. There was no way insurance would cover this, he said. Bob was useless…

    No, I’m not like that. I’m not like her. I’m not. He was fine. Completely fine.

    To tune the unpleasant reminder of his childhood out, Bob focused instead of the humming in his head. At first, he had thought it to be buzzing, the sound rising from a nearby hive of bees (why would there be a beehive in the middle of New York?). Listening closely, however, Bob was able to distinguish the words hidden within the noise. Deep inside of him, somewhere he wasn’t supposed to look, his duty was calling to him: becoming The Sentry.
