Part 10
-Seven months later -
The first six months came and went by so fast I hardly even noticed it. After West Point, Brian returned to Pittsburgh for a couple of weeks, but then had to leave again because he received his first official placement as an Army attorney in the largest base in San Diego, which meant we would still be on a long-distance basis, but would be able to see each other and make up for lost time when either of us had a week off. It worked for a while – the rest of the time we relied heavily on Skype and more intimate methods. But then one day, not long after he arrived in San Diego, he told me something came up. I could feel my heart sink, and even though I kinda expected him to tell me at one point that he could no longer continue with our long distance relationship, I DEFINITELY didn't expect the announcement that followed. It wasn't as shocking as I thought it would be – I mean, he didn't say we should call it quits or anything, but it was something totally different. He was offered an overseas deployment to one of the U.S Army's largest bases in England, and was inclined to take it. He said that's what he'd always wanted. He said he needed the challenge. He said he was still young and that it was his chance to see the world, to go places, to feel he's making a difference.
'I’ll miss you,' was all I was able to say. I didn't want him to think I was some whiny, needy kid, even though I think he knew all too well I wasn't. I didn't want him to give up on his career just to be with me, but then…I couldn't help but feel I'm missing out on something. I couldn't help but feel we're BOTH missing out on something. Something that only comes along on rare occasions. Something very special.
"I’ll miss you, too," he replied, mentioning it would only be a limited, twelve-month deployment.
"Twelve months? You mean a WHOLE year?" I had exclaimed, unable to contain myself. Certain scenarios began running in my head. Maybe he's taking this deployment because he wants something more? Something I can't give him? Maybe he doesn't really believe in us? Or maybe it's him? Could it be that he feels he can't be in a committed relationship any longer, and this was his way out?
"Lots of people do it, Justin," I could hear him explaining his decision in a calm, quiet voice as if he were talking about some everyday occurrence.
"Well…I'm NOT other people,” I had responded a little more sharply than I had intended. “I don’t want to be some kind of Army wife – or a husband, for that matter," I had answered, keeping silent for a while after that and letting everything sink in, especially the whole 'husband' reference. Did I really mean that?
"Are you proposing?" came the inevitable comment from my partner.
"What if I am?" I couldn't help but answer back saucily, my heart pounding at the thought. What would it feel like to go to bed with him every night, and wake up with him in my bed each morning?
His face lit up and filled my computer screen with his shining beauty. "Maybe it's because I wanted to do it first," he says, leaving me totally breathless.
"Are you serious?" I gasped.
"I’ve never been more serious about anything in my life," he answered softly.
"Don't you think we're too young?" I asked him, silently berating myself immediately afterward. What was I thinking?
"Fuck, no" he reassured me, tucking his tongue into his cheek. God, I missed him so much at that moment. "Besides, we're NOT getting married just yet…" he added mysteriously.
"When are you coming back?" I demanded to know, physically aching to feel him holding me again.
"I'll be back in couple of weeks. I'm coming back for a few weeks to sort everything out before I leave for England. Will you be home on leave from St. George by then?" he asked.
That's when I knew I couldn't hold it in any longer. "Fuck St. George, Brian! I've had it! I'd been meaning to tell you this a few weeks ago, but since we're only talking by Skype I didn't want to waste our time. But I might as well tell you now, because I really don't give a fuck anymore," I lashed out.
"What is it, Sunshine?" Brian's voice softened, clearly noticing the angst in my voice.
"My parents have been having their own issues for quite a while," I began. "Long before I even came out to them, it seems. But now my dad has apparently moved out of the house, and they're getting a divorce. My mom told me it won't be long before she sells our house as well. She needs to downsize and find a new place for herself and my sister, so I figured it's about time I stood on my own two feet, too. I'm dropping out of St. George at the end of this semester. I've decided to do what I've always dreamed about even when I was in high school – I'll be moving back to the Pitts, and I'll be enrolling in the Pittsburgh Institute of Fine Arts. I'll be applying for a scholarship and will work at this diner in town I used to go to while I was in high school. Oh, and I'll be sharing an apartment with my friend Daphne. We'll split the rent so it will be easier on us." I paused and took a deep breath once I laid out my plans to him, relieved in a way that it was out in the open. "So… what do you think?" I asked after a slight hesitation.
"I think it's crazy…,” he began, making my heart fall before he added, “…but cool. That's actually what I love about you. I wouldn't have it any other way. That’s the reason I want you in my life," he answered and I could really see the heartfelt emotion in his amazing, moss green-hazel colored eyes as my own watered in reaction.

-18 months later-
Brian had promised he'd be on deployment for twelve months, but one thing led to another and he's been gone for a year and a half now. It's been really tough. Excruciatingly tough, really, but at least we weren’t just a couple in a long distance relationship any longer. We did get engaged once Brian returned to the Pitts before leaving for England.
But… that's all in the past now, because he's finally concluding his overseas deployment and he'll be coming home to me.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
He's HERE! Brian is finally here. It feels so good to have him in MY bed, in my OWN apartment – I moved out of Daphne's a while ago once I could afford it – but we're still best friends.
I can now inhale his unique scent, hug him, and snuggle into him; not to mention get fucked by him and do all those things we waited for so long to do.
We sit side-by-side at the kitchen table on Sunday morning, having our coffee and just chatting away.
"I think we should move in together, have our own place," he says.
"Sounds great," I answer him with a smile. "But wouldn't it be difficult for you with your Army deployments and all that?'" I lift my eyes to gaze at my fiancé.
"No it wouldn’t be difficult at all,” he answers to my surprise. “I’ve decided I'm leaving the Army. It was interesting and challenging while it lasted, but now I don't need that anymore," he explains.
My eyes widen in shock. "But… it's your job, it's what you love to do. I would never want you to give up your dreams,” I tell him.
He smiles at me. “Yeah, it’s been a hell of a ride,” he agrees. “But there’s something else I love to do, and it's way more important to me right now.” He leans over to press our lips together.
I let him envelop me in his arms, his lips on mine, our breaths, tongues, fingers, limbs and desires intertwining as he literally sweeps me off my feet and carries me from the kitchen into the bedroom.
He slowly and sensually peels my clothes off, and then gets rid of his own before we both sink into the mattress, face to face, bare skin against bare skin, the same way we've been doing it from the moment we decided it was the right time after our engagement.
He thrusts into me with long, smooth motions as I just let go and think of nothing else but him. Afterward, when he turns to face me in bed with his dick still inside me, I smile at him and close my eyes.
It's so reassuring to know he will still be here with me when we wake up.
Now that he's really here by my side forever, I know he is my distraction, HE is the color that paints my world. He’s my heaven. And I couldn’t be happier.
