title: a (broken) man admired
summary: —and maybe this is why she looks up to him.
note: uhhhh kennex and stahl are cute. i had to (try to) write something. very short. maybe pointless. and probably not that great either but here it is...er ;;;;;
—hero, [n.]: a man admired for his noble qualities; one that shows great courage.
Valerie is an awe of John Kennex, since the very first time she lays eyes on him.
She knows it's silly and naïve to be so starstruck by him, especially since a lot of people would (and do) say he is nothing to look up to.
He's flawed and broken. He messes up, really badly sometimes, but he doesn't let it stop him. He falls but stands up strong. He is kind, under his prickly exterior and seeming indifference. He spends most of his time ignoring orders and disregarding protocol, and risks his own safety in order to help people.
He does a lot of things wrong but he does all of them for the right reasons.
And maybe this is why Valerie looks up to him; because at the end of the day John is a hero.
endnote: i'm sorry for writing this at midnight and i'm also really sorry if my characterization is bad (SWEATS PROFUSELY)
