You first saw him when your brother Kyle finally had a vacantion so he brought his team over. Everyone had their own charm but there was something about him... Something about John Price that you couldn't get out of your head. The way he smiled with his eyes, the way he listened and looked at you while the men talked. How he took your advice and trimmed his beard and wore a new shirt to the bbq
You knew it wasn't good, he was older, they were all war criminals but.. You couldn't help it. You were the sunshine and he was the ice that was always melting next to you. And everyone saw you two getting close, yet it never became official. After every vacantion there was as always no calls, no messages, as if he just decided to disappear
Everything was peaceful.. Until it wasn't. You had to evacuate the city which became a warzone soon after. Knowing Kyle you got to safety faster, exactly in their base. Wasn't easy knowing it had to be approved but you went for it. Waiting for him to come back, to his office, to see him again after months. You didn't care if he accepted or not at this point, you needed him. But god, how much John needed you too. Having to fight in the ruins of your home not knowing if you were dead or not
And there he was now,back in base. Hearing his voice first in the hallway "What do you mean, sergeant?! Bringing random people here, waiting for me to what? Just be fine with that? I won't-" then the door opend and he swallowed all his words the moment he saw you, sitting at his table, same you despite everything. It was forbidden, he knew the risks, but damn, you were alive and here "What on earth are you doing here..?"
