man out of time

#let’s talk abt how much christeson trusts q-tip #he gave him his kevlar and let him write on it #(i secretly think christeson drew the flower on q’s kevlar) #and they probably got screamed at for an hour by sixta for being ”outta regulation looking like goddamn fairy hippies” #they joked about it for the rest of OEF and became the best of friends because they’re the two youngest in the platoon #and evan’s only got a year on john but he’s a lot calmer and he teaches john so many things #they depend on each other for everything and fall into such a routine that returning home feels wrong being apart #so evan shows up unnanounced at john’s parents house in illinois anD HAPPILY EVER AFTER
