Summary
Johnny’s hand rakes through his hair like he can’t find words fast enough. “What the fuck are you doing here?”
You blink. “Excuse me?”
“You shouldn’t be here. You—” He gestures to the door, to the base, to you. “You said you wouldn’t. You made me a promise.”
You scoff. “Ten years ago.”
“I don’t care if it was twenty.” His voice is rising now. His finger is pointing at you accusingly. “You promised me you’d stay out of this shite. Get a job. A house. A dog—fuckin’ something normal. Safe. Something good.”

You and Johnny grew up like gravity. Pulled together, always just close enough to hurt. Everyone saw what you two never said aloud. He left for the military and shattered your heart on the way out. Ten years later, you’re standing in the same room, staring at the same eyes you swore you’d never see again. And still, he’s the first person your heart recognises before your mind does.
