Another snippet from the MOTA 90s clubbing AU!
(This time featuring Curt/Ken and the extent to which I had to bend space and time to make the Jude Law joke work)
âLong way from home, cowboy,â Curt said as he pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and flipped the top open. âWant one?â He added, holding them up toward Gale, âtheyâre menthols.â Gale wasnât usually one for smoking but his tongue was begging for something to do and he did like mint so he agreed, gingerly taking one out of the packet and holding it up for Curt to light.
âYou wound me,â said Bucky from the opposite side of the table, holding one hand to his chest like a mother whoâd just seen her childâs first tattoo. âYou donât want my smokes but youâll take one from thisâŠthis... fiend.â âOh, fiend, is it? Thatâs a new one,â Curt mumbled as Gale said,
âYou didnât offer.â âYou donât even drink!â Bucky spluttered, gesturing far too vigorously with his burning cigarette and earning a scornful look from the woman behind him. He shook his head mournfully. âI canât believe this. I risk life and limb to get him in here and the first chance you get, you steal him away from me.â He pointed a finger from Gale to Curt. âHe smokes menthols!â Bucky finished with a huff, crossing his arms and sticking out his lower lip in a petulant show of immaturity that shouldnât have been nearly as endearing as it was. âTold you no-one wants to kiss a guy who smokes Lucky Strikes. How old are you, eighty?â Curt said with a shrug before turning to Gale. âThey have character!â Bucky exclaimed. Curt just shook his head and turned back to Gale. âThough I hate to disappoint ya Buck but I got a feeling someone special is gonna be here tonight. So Iâm afraid my heart belongs to another.â âThe guy who looks like Jude law?â Bucky said, his eyebrows buried somewhere up in his hairline. âDude, donât do it. You totally struck out last time. I saw it, I wish I didnât but I did and it was bad.â âYeah but that doesnât count because I donât remember it.â Curt said as if that made any sense whatsoever. Then he stopped dead, his eyes taking on a slightly haunted look as he met Buckyâs gaze and said solemnly. âNever let me do G again.â âItâs not my fault some people canât hack,â said Bucky before adding, âand to be fair it wasnât all bad. I think he thought you were kinda funny, even after you started talking about how much you liked âShoppingâ which he had not seen because no-one except you and me have ever seen that movie and I only watched it because you made me⊠but then you started making that weird groaning noise and rubbing your palms on your jeans like a sex offender.â He paused for a second, the two of them cringing in unison, âYeah...that was- that was rough, Iâm not gonna lie, so probably donât do that again.â âDonât have to tell me,â Curt said, shaking his head to shake off the embarrassment, âThat stuff is fuckinâ evil. Iâll be stickinâ with the classics from now on.â
