Work Text:
In another life, John makes a polite excuse to avoid meeting Mikes' flatmate seeking colleague. After all, who'd want to live with him?
He returns to his single room and his Browning.
As the weeks pass he leaves less and less often. His leg aches constantly.
He strips and cleans his gun obsessively.
He terminates his therapy. He doesn't eat or speak for days on end.
He strips and cleans his gun over and over.
And one day, maybe six months after meeting Mike in the park? John puts his very clean gun in his mouth and pulls the trigger.
