he’d kept a lot of things, mostly happiness, from himself for the longest time. called it penance or just some strange, roundabout way that he wanted to give back to the universe. it was a strange manifestation of guilt and grief that drew’s had to come to terms with for years, leaving him with a lull sensation to things that can and does give him joy. it had only been recently, sprung on by his final year at gallagher when a lot of things didn’t go right did drew finally take the plunge and claim his happiness. he hums, eyes closing for a bit before opening them back up and staring into clem’s own. “let’s give ourselves these years to work while we can. then let’s find a really good place to retire in.”
“Sounds like a deal to me” pressing a soft kiss to Andrew’s forehead, Clem closed his eyes. Would he be willing to throw away years of hard work to get to this point in his career? Yes. Because he would much rather pick love over the possibility of getting himself killed. It was strange how everything had changed since the two of them became official. Now he could actually see a future where he settles down with someone. Now he can see himself not married to his job. Andrew gave him perspective and he could never thank him enough for that.
