Halo smiles sweetly, kissing his forehead as the other relaxed into him. "I love you, John." He whispers. "More than anything." He kisses the others forehead and sighs, leaning back as he held John in his protective grasp.

Brennan entered John’s tent a second time -a half hour after his first visit- when he needed to relay more news. This time he was quieter at least, “I was sent to inform you two,” Brennan glanced at sleeping John, “that we’re heading home in two days time. And that I’ve taken over the leadership role for John until then, unless he feels up to it.” And Brennan highly doubted John was in a state to lead -he looked so much smaller when he was curled up in Halo’s arms like that- the camp as they cleaned up the carnage Ojag had left them with. “We can you two more water if you wish to bath,” Brennan added, eyeing at the crusty blood on the clothes.

Halo looks up, his eyes glancing at the other before returning his gaze towards the man huddled into his lap. "I'm afraid we won't be able to join you on the way back home. John and I will never be accepted by society. And like the rest of our kind, we have to go into hiding. I don't wish pain on anyone. But we have been experimented on. I do not wish that pain for John." He whispers, running his hand through John's hair gently. He smiles softly and looks up at Brennan. "That would be appreciated." He says softly.

Brennan frowned slightly, “How am I supposed to tell them that? It was easier to spin the last thing into a miracle, but that? What about his family? How will someone tell them? Mr. and Mrs. Ford will be worried sick!” He shouted, then immediately quieted his voice again as John turned a little in his sleep, “I want to hear it from him the next time he wakes up,” Brennan said, looking at John then turning back towards the exit, grumbling, “Water will be on it’s way.”

He nods and smiles a little. "Thank you, Brennan." He says softly, looking down at John as he slept. The poor thing was in no condition to return home. Yes his parents would be worried, but he had to go off the maps. Halo had tried reaching out to his friends and they had called the government. He sighs and runs a gently hand through Johns hair.

Three soldiers came with the water a little bit after, one of them pausing and staring at the sleeping captain before the second man ushered them out. He glanced at Halo with a hint of fear in his eyes as he said, “There’s your water, sir, if Captain Ford needs anything, all he has to do is call…”
John peeked open one eye -the use of his title wakening him from that light sleep- but the soldier was already gone. He looked at the water the soldiers had left. Getting clean for once would feel nice…

Halo looks at the men, his crimson eyes flashing with surprise before he narrows them and nods. "Thanks." He continues running a hand through John's hair. "Do you want to wash?" He asks softly. He smiles, kissing his forehead gently. "I can wash you so you could continue sleeping." He offers, kissing John's forehead.

John hummed leaning towards Halo more as he replied tiredly, “I wouldn’t mind…” John trusted Halo completely, enough so that he let his entire guard down when he was with the angel. He wrapped both arms around Halo, selfishly mumbling, “You should carry me…”

Halo smiles softly as he holds the other. He kisses John's forehead lovingly. "Sure thing, love." He smiled and stood before picking John up and carrying him towards the water. He kisses John quickly before getting the water and warming it to a comfortable temperature. He helps John remove his clothes, and begins to clean the other off.

John closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth of the water. Normally, even as a captain of the army, he wouldn’t ever get a heated bath, much less someone else bathing him. He blinked lazily at Halo, “I really love you, Halo.”

Halo looks at the other, washing the dirt and grime off him. He smiles softly and kisses John gently. His gentle hands move to scrub off the dirt, smiling at the other. "I love you too, John." He says softly, running his hand along his cheek, smiling sweetly.

John turned a litlle to get a better look at Halo, yawning a tiny bit as he asked, “What do you want to do, when we’re out living on own own? Do you have any hobbies or anything like that?” John leaned his head into Halo’s hand, loving how much they loved each other.

Halo smiles, kissing his forehead. "Not much. I mostly focused on learning medicine." He hums in thought, running a hand through John's hair as he washes the soft locks. "Anything is welcome." He nuzzles the other. He loved how affectionate the other was. "Tired still, baby?" He asks gently.

“Yeah, a little bit,” John smiled at Halo, reaching both hands up to wrap them around Halo’s neck, “Is this how you felt after you fell? Tired all the time?” He started drawing little circles with his finger on the back of Halo’s neck.

Halo nods and smiles. "That's expected." He mutters, leaning into John's grasp. "Yes. When you fall from heaven, you grow tired and weak for a little while. Your strength will return after a little while." He kisses John gently.

John returned the kiss lovingly before murmuring, “Do you think I’ll be ready enough for when we have to go?” John loved it when Halo gave him the kisses, it just made him feel happy. Halo was probably the happiest moments of his life.

"Most likely." He says gently, smiling at the other. He holds the other gently as he carefully finishes cleaning the other off. "You won't have to worry about it though. Demons have stronger wings than angels so I can carry supplies and have you rest on my back if you feel weak when we start to fly."

Flying… The entire thought of flying sounded like foreign concept. John sat up more, bringing half his body up out of the water, “You’ll teach me, right? About flying?” He tilted his head slightly to the side, mesmerized for a second by Halo’s crimson eyes. John loved him more than the world…

Halo smiles a little when he sees John's eyes light up. He gently washes the others hair and smiles, "Yes. Everything and anything you want to know about flying, I'll teach you." He chuckles and kisses his forehead. "You won't have to worry about that." He loved John desperately, seeing him like this made him a very happy person. He smiles warmly at John. He loved every inch of John, as a person, personality wise, everything.

John smiled at Halo, closing his eyes when the other had washed his hair. He loved the kiss on his forehead, this little warm feeling inside him came on, making his smile turn into a grin. Halo was perfect in every way possible. John whispered as he sat of farther to kiss Halo, “You’re mine. And I’m yours.”

Halo smiles faintly as he watches the other react to his gentle movements, kissing back when John sat forward. "Yes." He mutters in reply. "And it will always be that way." He whispers, smiling at John. He's so cute like this. And these wings… they're gorgeous. He runs a gentle hand down John's back and across his wings. Flawless…

John arched his back at the touch, swatting at Halo’s hand playfully, “That tickles!” He ran one of his hands down Halo’s wings teasingly, a playful smile on John’s face.

Halo chuckles softly as he watches the other. He shudders when John ran a hand down his wings. "I… wouldn't recommend doing that to a demons wings…" He mutters, shutting his eyes. He takes a breath before looking at John. "The consequences would be… difficult."

John frowned slightly, “What do you mean?” He started subconsciously chewing on his lip, leaning on the rim of the water tub as he studied Halo’s face with concern. His voice turned into a whisper as he asked, “What would happen?”

Halo peeps one eye open. He bites his lip before leaning forward. "In an essence, I get… needy if you do that to much." He chuckles, shrugging a little. He kisses John gently, before pulling away. "I'm simply warning you before it happens."
