A/N:
In this story the character names belong to Stephenie Meyer but the chapter titles come from William Shakespeare's epic tale, Romeo & Juliet. The slash is all my idea.

Chapter 11. Pursued my humour not pursuing his.
-Garrett-
Working closely together day after day was agony and ecstasy combined. I thrilled at the close contact, my body only truly alive when around him, but my heart was savaged at each and every reminder that he was not mine.
I'd known I was gay since senior year at school, but with a father in the military and knowing his views on homosexuals, there was never a time I considered outing myself. As expected of me, I too joined the army, and instead of relationships I resorted to out-of-town clubs and meaningless encounters in dimly lit corridors. Effective but unsatisfying.
