Takes Place: Near the end of Halo 3
A/N: I swear, Johnson knew more than he was letting on.
If there was one thing that Sargeant Avery Johnson knew how to do, it was keep a secret. He'd kept a lot of secrets in his time serving the UNSC. He'd kept the secret marraige of his commanding officers, he'd kept the secret of a war that was more hidden than the war they were fighting now, and he kept the secret of the Flood from his family, no matter how much he'd wanted to warn them. But there was one other secret he kept, and this one meant the most to him. This secret belonged the only man he'd trust to watch his back, and that mans soulmate. John and Cortana were deeply in love with one another, and Johnson had seen it all from a distance. He didn't think that they knew he knew, and that was a good thing.
It would mean that this secret would follow him to the grave.
A/N: Johnson's death made me tear up, and what he said to Chief made me tear up even more.
