[With every argument, John was becoming more and more convinced his dog-tags were in the trash somewhere. Why would Poe keep them? Guilt? John regrets putting that decision on him, especially at that ugly beautiful moment, but he wasn't thinking straight.
John had waited what felt like forever to hear Poe say "I love you". Of course it happened then, when they were both certain they wouldn't see each other again. Because almost as soon as John loves something, he loses it. Always.
Now it's his turn to struggle to swallow, looking away from Poe's eyes. Staring at the dog-tags. What do they mean? What does any of this mean?]
Didn't think you would. Didn't think I would see you again, either. So that's two things I got wrong.
[His eyes flit up to Poe's face, the corner of his mouth quirking upwards into a shadow of a smirk.]
See. I don't think I'm right all the time. Just most of the time.
