John was a gentlemen. He was an absolutely sweetheart. He always greeted you warmly, and gave you the warmest hugs one could ever imagine. You've never had someone treat you this well.

You and him both knew the consequences of fraternization, hence why you both refused to cross that certain line. You wanted more, always did, but John reminded you why he couldn't.

You didn't know what to do without him when he went on missions or when he became too busy to even talk to you. He was falling between your fingers, and when you tugged at that string, it's like he'd bounce right back to how he normally was.

You wanted to convince yourself that he was still interested in you, but over time, he was spending less and less time with you.

You were falling for someone that couldn't be held on to.
