Notes: The best things about dating a fellow veteran (title from The Sweetest Thing, by U2)


The best part about dating a fellow veteran, John thinks, flipping the eggs, is she gets the early morning thing, how Reveille is bone-deep now and you're never sleeping in. (The best thing about dating a fellow veteran, he tells nobody, is that she never asks in the middle of the night why you're shaking.)

No, the best thing, John thinks, aiming directly at Carter's body, is the trust. At the last minute, he shifts slightly and the shot goes over her shoulder into the mob heavy who thought John was his ally. She knows John has her back, always.

Notes: The worst things about dating a fellow veteran (title from The Sweetest Thing, by U2)



The worst thing about dating a veteran, Joss thinks, running hard to get ahead of John on the track, is the competitiveness. She's gonna be sorry tomorrow.

(The worst thing, she doesn't say, watching Taylor drive away with his prom date in the passenger seat, is you both know exactly how ugly the world is, and that you can't shelter your loved ones forever.)

No, she realises, adding another face to the board in her closet, the worst thing is that you'll both run the mission to the very end, which means one of you gets to bury the other.
