John absolutely loved Javier, but john was married with a kid, so he could never act on it, at least not publicly in front of anyone. So, he would often be gone for quite a while, and would just say Dutch had him go out.

But every time, he would be out in the woods or in a hotel with Javier. It felt good to be with the other man every once in a while, especially since they had to repress both of their feelings.

He was standing around, making sure Jack was doing okay. He saw a few wild flowers growing, so he semi-delicately picked them, and went over to Jack. He crouched down, whispering to his son.

“Hey bud, go do dad a favor and deliver these to Mr. Escuella, yeah?”

And Jack did so, going all throughout camp to find Javier. Once he did, he smiled up at him and held out the flowers, proudly announcing to him.

“Here Mr. Escuella! My pa had me deliver these to ya!”
