Bucky fell in love with Steve millennia ago.
He was dreaming, but it felt real.
A head, cracked on stone, blood flowing through the soft dirt
A pair of hands, tossing figs in the air gently, so as the fruit wouldn't be bruised
A lyre, carved of smooth wood, beautiful to look at, beautiful to listen to
Anything his hands touched was beautiful
A cold, distant woman, eyes cold and unimpressed, a red mouth turned in a sneer
A kiss on a beach, and a wave of want
A cave of rose quartz, and a roof of painted stars
A feverish night, filled with moans and trembling hands
A council room filled with discussions of war on a far-away city, and a cold fear
A ship, a sense of desperation
A man in woman's clothing, and an unexpected pregnancy
A woman's warm body, but it felt wrong, odd, uncomfortable
A man with a pink scar on his leg
And then war; heavy, desperate, blood filled.
A Trojan woman, and then more
A medical tent, where hands flew quickly across arrow-pierced limbs and swollen gashes
A beautiful face, drawn sourly in pride and outrage
A hostage who did not deserve to be so
A pair of familiar, steady hands fastening armor
A spear flying, and a sense of frenzied need for more
A wall, and a god with an unwavering gaze
A spear, and a plead
A man wrought with grief, killing mortals and drawing godly blood
A confrontation- "There are no bargains between lion and men. I will kill you and eat you raw."
A burial, and a boy with bright hair refusing a name to be carved on his father's grave
A goddess, eyes sad and resigned, and words on a tomb: Achilles and Patroclus
A pair of hands meeting in the dark
A bright light, more godly than Zeus himself
A man's face, this one different and yet familiar, a halo of artificial light 'round his head
A name pops into head, and then another: Steve; Achilles
You and me, dear, 'til the end of the line
We are Achilles and Patroclus reborn, and our time is now
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So basically this was me fucking around with an idea I've had since I read the pain that is The Song of Achilles that Steve and Bucky are reincarnations of Achilles and Patroclus. I might do something of the same idea later but meh.
