@EhTeamCaliber @RedBearSpartan //Mostly. The last few months have been hell, but it's getting easier to cope.

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

//Suddenly miss playing Chief, and I know @RedBearSpartan is partially at fault for that. Looks like I played myself by convincing you to join the verse.

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

@RedBearSpartan //for sure! I'll see what I can do.

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

@EhTeamCaliber @RedBearSpartan //Barging in with apology tea and a bag of chips.

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

@EhTeamCaliber //I don't get them as bad on any other account but the one with 'chief' in the UN gets 2 a day. I just blocked, like, 8...

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

//Cause I'm fucking sick of these bots, and I have a small idea of why they're here...

@EhTeamCaliber "Any time." A hand rose to carefully cup the back of her head.

"I hope they won't be. If there's ever anything I can do, you know you only have to ask."

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

@EhTeamCaliber "As long as you know..." He kept his hand pressed against the back of hers.

"More than enough. I love you, thank you for talking to me about it." John leaned forward, so he could press their foreheads together.

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

@EhTeamCaliber +And I'll still be here."

He rose her palm to his lips, then pressed her hand to his bearded cheek. "Who knows? Maybe it'll be easier if you're not alone."

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

@EhTeamCaliber He pressed his lips to the side of her head as she spoke again. There was a sigh, and he leaned back enough to get a good look at her.

"We'll figure it out when we get to it. We won't know until it happens, but whatever does, I'm still here.+

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

@EhTeamCaliber +well as the highs. I'm not going anywhere, Alex."

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

@EhTeamCaliber +between them if he was around for a harder swing, as she out it.

Briefly, he wondered if she'd wanted kids, had things been different. He knew better than to ask right now.

"Thank you for talking to me about this. I want you to know, though, that I signed up for the lows as+

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

"I'm not going anywhere." He wrapped his arms around her.

"Let's sit down, then. We can talk for a while. I'm done for the day, so I'm all yours."

[𝙎𝙋𝘼𝙍𝙏𝘼𝙉 𝘾𝘼𝙇𝙄𝘽𝙀𝙍 @Spartan_Caliber]

“Don’t leave. You can always stay…” she stepped closer to just hug him.

“I know, John. I’m just… not used to that yet. I never got to tell you about the swings I get, so I suppose I should?”

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

He held her hand in his.

"Do you want to be alone? I'll go if you need me to, but I'd like to stay. You can talk to me, Alexis, you know that, right?"

[𝙎𝙋𝘼𝙍𝙏𝘼𝙉 𝘾𝘼𝙇𝙄𝘽𝙀𝙍 @Spartan_Caliber]

“Yeah. I just…” She got to her feet.

“…tend to keep to myself until I feel things come back to normal. Hell, the fact that I can feel it… damned augs didn’t help apparently.”

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

He drew her knuckles to his lips as he helped her stand.

"Is everything okay otherwise?"

[𝙎𝙋𝘼𝙍𝙏𝘼𝙉 𝘾𝘼𝙇𝙄𝘽𝙀𝙍 @Spartan_Caliber]

She took his hand, without hesitation.

“I just got back from medbay. Had to adjust my hormone injections again… was feeling off.”

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

"I see that."

He approached, offering her his hand.

[𝙎𝙋𝘼𝙍𝙏𝘼𝙉 𝘾𝘼𝙇����𝘽𝙀𝙍 @Spartan_Caliber]

She looked up to see him in the doorway.

“Just a bit… unbalanced.”

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

He paused just inside the door, staring at Cal. "What's wrong?"

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

@EhTeamCaliber "I can't argue with that." He eyed her up and down, almsot beaming at her now.

"Good. I'll see you then." He leaned in for a kiss, soft and sweet, before stepping away.

[John-117 @MASTER0FLUCK]

@EhTeamCaliber "I meant safer than me interrupting you at the range. You know I like watching you work." He smiled in return.

He was in no hurry, either. All the important things had either been done, or scheduled.

"I'll let you decide. I'm up for anything. Maybe something sweet for after?"
