DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN DOWNTON ABBEY BUT BY JOVE I WISH I DID.

A/N - This is just short Johnbert fluff. If you're a homophobic bastard go away. Also pretending Anna & Cora don't exist because I refuse to break up that shit. I love it.

Chapter 1

John hobbled along the path, his feet disturbing the settled gravel. It had been years since he first injured his leg, but the pain was still prominent. He was a proud man, he never liked to admit that his leg continued to hurt him. He just got on with it. Like he did with everything else. But in a few moments, he will have started his new job. He knew it'd be difficult, the house was huge. The thought of it made him slightly anxious, new people to please, new surroundings. Then he remembered what made him come in the first place; he was able to see Robert again.
