John was a soldier, but he wasn't just any soldier. John went behind enemy lines to destroy them from within. He was damn good at his job.
Harold was a tech guy but he wasn't just any tech guy. Harold wrote and designed computer programs, and he'd written the most important strip of code in the entire world. He was damn good at his job.
John took a bad job and was nearly killed for it. He lost his partner in the fire and chaos.
Harold tried to share his code to the world and was nearly killed for it. He lost his best friend in the fire and chaos.
John had been in love once with a girl. She was gone now.
Harold had been in love once with a girl. He had to leave her though.
John had begun working with Harold and they had slowly begun to accept their differences were actually similarities. And with that respect and admiration for each other, they'd come to love one another.
Harold had been damaged but he was fixed now. He'd been glued back together with awkward smiles and good work to fill his time. He was in love.
John had been damaged but he was fixed now. He'd been taped back together with each limp and every case he'd worked, never lacking for something to do. He was in love.
So late at night they went to bed together, one smelling like gun smoke and the other smelling like old books. They forgot their collective pasts and just lived in the moment, lived each second for the other, filling their time with the other and love. And they were happy.
