discoveredinalj | Fic: Makin' Plans

Based on

schnuffi's last word "life" I realise it's more than 100 words, for which I apologise. I tried to cut it down, honestly I did...

Life's somethin' that happens to you while you while you're makin' plans. John Lennon said that. Very clever man, till he got himself killed, but then, that's sort of what he was talkin' about. You don't plan to get shot by a lunatic. Like I didn't plan to find Doyle. And everything that happened after that.

I didn't make plans. I didn't hope. I just took each day as it came. Now I watch his back - and his front, which is even better to watch than his back - do my job, be the best I can at what we do. Learn about myself in the way he touches me, learn about him in the way he moves and sounds when I'm with him.

I'm his - what, guardian angel? Daft. He'd think that was funny. I dunno what he is to me. Never had anyone like him. He's my life. He's what happened to me when I'd given up makin' a plan.
