Summary
They’re a lot of things. They’re men, they’re soldiers. They are brothers, and they are sons. Sons of broken families and warfighters in every war. Born rotten, taught violence, stripped of their warmth.
But they remain warm for each other like pieces of the sun that flicker to life in the presence of one another. In each other’s presence, they are vulnerably human. Johnny’s never met another person he wanted to be so vulnerable with. And for Simon Riley, he is nothing but exposed.
He hangs his heart up from clotheslines, writes his love in the sky. Bared and exposed for all to see just how devoted and committed he remains to a man that is deathly afraid of committing to him. But something in the way they kissed that very first time, and how those whiskey eyes turn to look at him now… it speaks of a crashing tide full with trust and faith, devotion and adoration. The weight of every ocean, held back in Simon’s eyes. Always warm for him.
Their eyes meet, and Johnny feels that their fates have become intimately tangled together along the way. Johnny isn’t sure of much. He’s not too sure of them, what they are, and what they’ve become. But he thinks they might just be alright. Heaven isn’t too far away.
