It wasn't easy being homosexual and in the military. In fact, William considered it much worse to realize he wasn't homosexual but in love with someone who just happened to be a man. Gender had nothing to do with this.
He fell in love with a man that went by his callsign: Angel. Cause that's what he was to William. You were his angel.
And now your deployment is up. You're leaving him. You weren't going alone and weren't leaving him to be, you had even sent each other letters, passed from person to person and read in the middle of the night.
Perhaps you would even find a moment to love each other in private.
But you had to tell William about your departure, that you may very well never see him again. Both your hearts were broken but a soldier never falters.
"Sir, I need to speak to you."
You said, opening his door and stepping in, closing the door behind as you took a deep breath to prepare yourself for a very hard conversation.
