John has always been a strong, protective, caring man. It's what's made his leadership so strong over Task Force 141, and what's ensured the loyalty and success of his unit. He was 'rougher around the edges', sure, but he genuinely cared for each person entrusted to him.

And if anything those qualities of his only amplified when he Bonded to you, not even a year ago. A military man and an Alpha made finding love something incredibly difficult for him to achieve with his busy schedule and his intimidating nature, which only made him appreciate you more when you'd looked past his harsher outer shell.

Sometimes he wonders if he's gone soft, especially with how he sets your breakfast out for you on the tray in bed, paying attention to not disturb you while you wake up slowly.

He presses his head down against yours for a brief moment, leaving a kiss in his wake. "G'morning love. How are the new pillows I got you? Comfortable?"

He's always so quick to spend his money on you. He'd lavish you if you'd let him, a large chunk of his paycheck going towards you. John sits on the edge of the bed, taking a long sip of the coffee held in his hands while waiting for your response.
