Gatekeeper, seasons wait for your nod.

#top gif is giving me heart palpitations #i know it’s karl but i’m gonna pretend it’s bones #i like to imagine bones laughing like that sometimes #warm and open and uncomplicated #ducking his head like it’s a surprise to him #and you can tell jim is grinning a mile wide from the back of his head #’cause there it is - the sweetest win he’s ever had

#god and i bet the first time jim gets him to laugh like that it’s because of something really stupid #and probably at jim’s expense #they’re at ocean beach and it’s creeping on sunset and they’ve both just taken their last midterms #as well as what feels like their first deep breaths in weeks #jim’s got a bottle of booze wrapped in the requisite brown paper lunchbag and for once bones isn’t hogging the fucking thing #it’s not that bones drinks a lot it’s just that he’s so achingly slow about it because apparently there’s all this ceremony #like sunday mass at the fucking vatican bones god just drink and hand it over already #and jim suddenly yelps because what the FUCK was that and he’s shoving the bottle at bones and a hand down his shorts #and there is a goddamn crab latched so terrifyingly close to his balls that jim actually panics #and yanks the thing off of him around a vehement ”motherFUCKER” #so what would have left a mild dime-sized welt actually breaks skin #when bones realizes what happened he just starts wheezing with laughter like wiping at his eyes and jim’s never seen him lose it like that #he’s torn between this stupid buoyant feeling welling up in his chest and throat #and pure irritation and outrage because a crab totally just got to third base with him #maybe second and a half base #whichever base the point is bones is an asshole and jim wants to make him laugh like that every day for the rest of his life #and then find a way to take the sound and make like ten billion sweaters out of it #but with fewer crabs this time #(and yeah there were definitely crabs jokes for a while during which jim had to insist on his STD-free status one or fifty times)
