Chris became a school teacher.

-

"You want to teach?"

"Dad, I love to teach."

"Teach then."

-

And realized he was homosexual.

-

"You ever date a guy?"

"No."

"Try it some time, Chris. I think you'd enjoy it."

"Maybe you want to go on a date then?"

"Thought you'd never ask."

-

He met another school teacher – Bill – and fell in love.

-

"What do you think about becoming partners?"

"Permanently?"

"Yeah, Chris."

"I think so."

-

And told his parents.

-

"Mom, Dad, I'm gay."

"Where's the lucky guy?"

"Dean! He's just telling us. It doesn't mean he has someone-"

"He's telling his parents about me."

-

They lived together and taught at neighboring schools.

-

"Ever live with a guy before?"

"No, but I'm willing to try it, Bill."

"Me too."

-

One day there was a school shooting at the high school Chris taught at. He sacrificed himself for his students.

-

"RUN!"

"Mr. Winchester, but-"

"Dear God. It's like fire."

"Put pressure on the wound! We've got to save him!"

-

His funeral was televised, he was such a hero.

-

"Mr. Winchester was a great teacher. He understood us and taught us in ways so we could understand him. God bless 'em."

"Thank you, River. Next to speak about my partner is Greg."

"Mr. Winchester died so we could live a full life. He's a hero to me and the rest of the world. Thank you, Mr. W."
