Five years ago

"Are you telling me that you and John have been in a relationship?" Said one of Randy's superior.

Randy nodded and looked down. "Yes sir we are."

Dave got up and walked over to Randy. "And how long have you two been doing this?"

Randy shrugged. "I don't know about four years."

Dave nodded "And are you in love?"

Randy slowly nodded "Yeah."

"You know what this means, don't you?" Randy nodded and Dave continued. "Harris!" He yelled "Get John in here now."

Present

Randy entered his apartment and dropped his keys and jacket on the table. Going to the fridge he grabs a beer and goes to his bedroom. He was about to flip on the TV when something caught his eye. Sitting on his dresser was a picture of him and John in the army. He hasn't seen John in six months since they left and the memory soon flooded his mind.

Six months ago

Once the plane landed and they were allowed to leave John grabbed his bag and quickly left the plane.

Randy grabbed his own and followed him out and into the crowded airport. "John wait!" He said grabbing his arm.

John yanked his arm away. "No how could you do that Randy. Everything was perfect until you ruined it."

"No it wasn't." Randy yelled "We were both tired of hiding our relationship. I mean you said it yourself."

"Yeah but I didn't want this." John said Because of you my life is over. I got stripped of everything I earned because of you. Randy you ruined my life and now I want you to do me a favor and stay out of it." He turned to leave.

"John what about us?" Randy asked.

"There is no us anymore." John yelled.

Randy looked down "But I love you John."

John sighed and turned around. "Randy?"

"I'm sorry for doing what I did but I didn't know what else to do." Randy said "Please don't walk away from me."

John looked down "My whole life all I ever wanted was to be a solider, to make me dad proud. Now how do I tell him that I got kicked out of the army because my gay lover outed our relationship?" He looked back at Randy "We're over Randy." With that he turned and left Randy standing there.

End

Randy picked up the picture and thought of how much he missed John. He wondered what John was doing. Not speaking to John has been torture for him and he really missed him. After taking a quick nap he headed back out to his night job.

After a hard day on the streets John was glad to be home. He was a police officer and a good one. His father was able to get him a job on the force because he knew everyone. He thought back on how much his dad did for him. Ever since he came out his father has been there for him through anything and he was glad he still had him in his life. Thinking of all that made him think of Randy and how much he missed him. So to try to get his mind off of him he decided to go out.

Joe's Spot

John decided to go somewhere he's never been before. When he entered the bar the smell of beer hit him hard. He made his way through the crowd and up to the bar. "Excuse me can I get a drink?" The guy slowly turned around and John nearly fell out of the chair. "Randy?"

Randy's never been so shocked in his life. "John hi."

John was at lost for words but managed to get them out. "What are you doing here?"

Randy shook his head. "I work here at night, what about you."

John smiled "Well I wanted to go out somewhere I never been before."

Randy nodded "So how have you been?"

"Good, I'm a cop now actually." John said "It's not the army but its close." He didn't miss the hurt look that flashed across Randy's face so he decided to change the subject. "My dad helped me get this job you know."

Randy looked confused "You didn't tell him?"

John shook his head. "No I told him as soon as I got back. He was shocked at first but he came around and told me he loves me no matter who I love and he always will."

"That' great." Randy said smiling.

"So what about you?" John asked.

Randy's smile faded "I haven't spoken to them since I came out. They want nothing to do with me."

John looked down "I'm sorry."

Randy sighed "So can I get you something?"

"Um I'll just have a beer, thanks." John said.

Four beers later

"You know I remember the first time I kissed you." John smiled "The look on your face was pure funny to me." He sat his bottle down "It's really good to see you Randy."

Randy nodded "You too."

"So what time do you get off?" John asked.

"I still have a while here." Randy said.

"I don't have anything else to do so I guess I'll keep you company." John said.

"Well I have to get back to work." Randy was about to walk off but he stopped and turned back to John. "If it's not too much trouble can you give me a lift home?"

John smiled and nodded "Yeah sure."

Three hours later John was sitting in front of Randy's apartment building. "You know I don't stay that far from here."

Randy smiled and looked down. "Well I'll see you later."

"Wait!' John said. "Maybe tomorrow we can get together and catch up if you want."

"Yeah!" Randy said a little too quickly and loud. "I mean that's cool."

John chuckled "Cool."

Randy gave a small smile. "Bye." He got out of the car.

John watched him until he went inside and he started to think that he made a mistake by walking away from Randy six months ago. His love for Randy was still there and now it was stronger than ever. Now only one thing was in his mind and that was Randy. Somehow he needed to get Randy back before it was too late.
