⸻⸻⸻ will always had a great timing, fuck his luck, seriously. barely walked trough the gate and boom, the news. death, problems, fucking helicopter. all he wanted was to shower in peace and sleep enough to get the week an half trip out of his system ⸻ another win for the domus spei and his own failure to find what was important to him. he knew how heartless it sound, how cold and selfish, so he kept this to himself, took very quick shower and went right back to work ⸻ look up patrols, sign up, check his weapons. so here he was, in the cave of engineers, ready to get his hands dirty again and again and always anyway
" hey, " he said as greeting to the woman with her back turned to him. his mind wander to other one ⸻ the same height, the same color of hairs, just a little shorter than this one, light eyes and hopefully still fucking alive somewhere out there.
( oh how he hated himself ⸻ so ready to give his life up for her, for his child even if she was an adult now, and yet, here he was, safe and behind walls and barricades, while she was ⸻ had to be, god and gods and whatever was there to pray to, please let her be ⸻ somewhere out there. not knowing if she was safe, if she found his messages, if she would forgive him his failure )
" i heard there is some patching to do to the walls. where do you need me? " his voice was tried and growly, even when he tried to soften it out.
