ooc: doug_ramsey used with permission. Backdated to Sat, July 2. My partner will always understand that I… will love him, no matter what or no matter who happens. John and Doug hadn't spent...closed as his head rested on John's chest. "Hmmm?" John ask. "We see JP tomorrow?" "Yeah." "Mkay, good." "Yeah. Doug?" "Yeah?" "I love you." "I know. Love you too." "I know.

...forget it," he said. He wasn't going to spend what time he had with being doped up and not understanding what was going on around him, not being conscious of being with Doug and JP and any other friends that might happen by. "But, you know." He shrugged, feeling sort of weird and unsure what to say to Sinister . "Thanks for checking me out or whatever." He looked around the lab. "Um. Can you...

... but not a sad serious. Just serious. "Okay. No moping. But I'm not getting my hopes up, Doug. I can't. I... have to accept this, or it'll crush me in the end anyway, okay?"

He thinks about them, and wonders, "How...

Title: The Death March Part: Eight - The Amazing Race Previously: Prologue | One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven Note: completed RP with the fabulous doug_ramsey...an old man's little shop.

...John visited Kara in person, she insisted on giving him a second, unsmooshed batch of cupcakes. With blue and red icing. John doesn't even like sweets much, but he liked Kara, she was one of the few friends who even acknowledged his birthday last year - aside from Doug and the Brotherhood.

And I had informed siryn_song !mun of this plan before we had Terry and Ste even go on their first date, and she gladly went along. OH THE ANGST. We muns are so evil. ;)

...went, Ste wasn’t too bad. John would rather it be… but he tried not to think about that. He had to focus. Had to make it along this stupid fucking Death March and he needed to not think about his friends back home. His Doug. It had only been two weeks. Two weeks without them.
