The way he watches him eat 💓

“I believe in a world where impossible things happen. Where love can outstrip brutality, can neutralise it, as though it never was, or transform it into something new and more beautiful. Where love can outdo nature.”

I'm worried there's a very distinct and real possibility that I am about to fall in love with you.

love song from a dog (Clegan postwar, ch10 47k)

“My name is Gale, Gale Cleven.” 

He says it firmly, as if he might be able to convince John not to travel down the path he was headed. 

He’s got skinny shoulders that pull at his uniform awkwardly, a scattering of freckles across his tanned cheeks. He looked like the heroes from John’s 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 woman’s looks and a working man’s 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, “Well, I’m sayin you look like a Buck.” 

It’s 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.

“You’re John Egan, right?”

“Call me Bucky.”
