goldendiie: Filing Jointly: Chapter XSarge’s overactive mind suddenly halted, as though a rifle had been shot directly through his train of thought, and he finally put his metaphorical finger on what had been bothering him. The words were flying out of his mouth before he had a chance to stop them: “Nothing’s ever going to be the same after this, is it?”Fillmore blinked back at him. “What do you mean?”“I don’t know. I can’t help but think that everything about this—about us—is going to be different, after the wedding. We’ll be married, and nobody will ever know that it was all a lie.” Sarge realized that he had been talking without thinking, and he turned his attention towards the view out his windshield. “Sorry, I just… I don’t know what it is about you, but I can’t stop myself from saying what I’m thinking, anymore.”“That’s a good thing, isn’t it?” Fillmore replied, a smile clear in his voice, “I mean, if we’re going to be married, I’d prefer if you’d communicate with me.”When Sarge finally looked at him fully, Fillmore was giving him that adoring look again. For a moment, he was utterly beautiful: graying hair falling over the tops of his shoulders, thick eyebrows raised, brown eyes warm in the afternoon sunlight. For a brief, sudden moment, everything made sense.AO3 -- source link
