(Mom and dad, and a sister. We were eighteen when we enlisted.) [ There's a smile in his mental voice as talks about him - more sweet than bitter, though it hadn't always been that way. ] (He dated off and on, same as me, but nothing took. Probably don't gotta tell you it's hard to date civilians, and we were more than enough for each other.)
[ He knows exactly how that sounds, and doesn't temper it. No, he and Riley were never a couple, and no, they never wanted to be - their intimacy had nothing to do with sex, and everything to do with the rush of wind in their ears and the beat of metal wings. ]
(Him and me and the sky, there was nothing better.) [ So it fits that Sam lost both Riley and the sky at the same damn time, but that's not what this is about. His mind opens a little bit more - not that he's ever really closed to her, but this time it's more purposeful. ] (You wanna see first hand?)
