Summary
Ocelot could’ve called a taxi, could’ve stayed the night here and regrouped in the morning– the mission was ruined now anyway, so it didn’t matter if it took him a little bit to get back to his apartment. But he knew a guy who lived close by (ish) who had a truck. And maybe that person happened to be the same one he’d been pining after for almost a year, who he hadn’t seen since April and had sworn up and down that he was really, truly, over with this time, but that was just kismet.

Summary
“I like the sweater,” John said, snapping him out of his thoughts. His hand slid underneath the fabric to get at the rest of the buttons on the shirt Adam was wearing underneath. “No cowboys allowed in Switzerland?”
“Cowboys get cold too,” Adam pointed out. “Besides, if you’re going to be schmoozing academics, may as well look the part.”Adam and John reunite a few hours before it all falls apart.

Summary
"Really? Because if we don't count that as our first date, then it's the fundraiser party where we made out in your truck afterwards,” Adam said, smirking. “Which was then immediately followed by you throwing up on my shoes because you drank seven strawberry daiquiris to avoid talking to politicians.”
John laughed, blushing a little. “It was eight strawberry daiquiris, you’re the one who gave me half of them, and that wasn’t why.”
Adam raised one eyebrow. “Don’t be stupid, I saw you-”
“You, uh, you looked really nice that night,” John said quietly. “And I kind of didn’t know how to handle it.”Series

I submit my incentive is romance / I watched the pole dance of the stars / We rejoice because the hurting is so painless / From the distance of passing cars
+++
"Hedonism?"
"Would you consider yourself a Hedonist then, John?"
He likes America, he likes that John brought him here to show him the allure of capitalism and the beauty of the south western corners of his country. It's all like Ocelot had seen in the spaghetti westerns and spy thrillers back home with less glamour and more grit.
He feels out of place, in that way - a pantomiming Russian cowboy in an American city. But it’s not like he’s a stranger to living lives that aren’t his.

Summary
This is all that really matters, John thinks. He wonders how he didn’t see this earlier, wonders how he didn’t think about this as he watched nuclear debris streak across the sky in arcs of gold. Something about him is vulnerable and wounded, easily exploited. He knows this. The only thing he can do now is staunch it. That, and stay out of the fucking war. This is all there is.
