"Gullible"
All the signs were there: even, shallow breaths, completely relaxed body, maintained for more than half an hour; in Jasper's experience, it meant that Phil was sound asleep, curled in his preferred position while Jasper spooned him from behind, nearly asleep himself.
"Such a pity I love you," Jasper murmured tiredly, "an' that you're so devoted to Captain America; can't help thinking how much we could do for HYDRA together, if you weren't so damn loyal," he yawned around the word, "to Nick Fury."
As he slipped into a deep sleep, he never noticed Phil's body gradually tense again as his eyes snapped open; thanking Jasper's habit of being honest when he was exhausted, and his own ability to fake sleep, Phil began to formulate plans… while he berated himself for believing Jasper's lies.
For askcapsicoul, who requested Jasper/Phil with the one-word prompt 'Gullible!', leading to Phil finding out about HYDRA in quite another way. Because how horrifying would that be? Well, just ask Skye and Agent May. They'll tell you.
Anyway! I'm asking for one-word prompts with rare pairings on Tumblr, if anyone wants to hop on over there and make a request.
Please review!
