Summary
It doesn't feel right, holding back his true thoughts from the page. Leo prides himself on not flinching away from speaking his mind—the good, the bad, the ugly—and Beej slotted into that rhythm in a way that no one else had. For two years that lasted as long as a century, there wasn't a single secret between them. How could there be? They were the only ones who could sink each other's entire lives before they began. That kind of shit practically requires a blood oath. But if he thinks about it for a few seconds, he can recall the exact moment when he realized BJ was, in fact, hiding something, that their open-door policy had a message scratched into the doorframe where he'd never bothered to look.
~~~
Six years ago, Leo said his last goodbyes to the newly-wedded Hunnicutts, boarded a plane, and returned to his life in Philly permanently. He's maintained his silence through medical school, residency, pregnancy announcements, and his conscripted assignment to MASH 8225. But rumors revolving around the 4077th's most recent bug out—and a surgeon who was forced to stay behind—waver Leo's confidence that pushing BJ away to keep him safe was the right move, wrapped up in the fear that instead he might've died alone.
