Life. Sometime it's easy - smooth and happy and putting a smile on your face. Justice stroked a calloused thumb over Garrett's cheek. "You make me wish I was a better man, butterscotch." Garrett closed his eyes and leaned into Justice's hand, "How could you be? You're already perfect in my eyes." Sometimes it's hard - rough and angry and making the tears fall. "You're going to get through this babe," he whispered into JD's hair. "How do you know?" Brent squeezed his eyes shut as pain lanced through his heart at those words, "Because," he whispered as he pressed his lips to JD's neck, "because I'm going to be here. I'm going to hold you when you can't stand on your own. I'm going to fight for you when your demons become too strong. I'm going to love you when only darkness fills your heart. And I'm going to keep you here, safe, when the storm inside of you is trying to sweep you away." And sometimes it's brutal - vicious and cruel and feeling like it's trying to knock you on your ass. "Yeah, I know. Forgiveness is a heady thing, Cole. Even if it can't bring two people together it can still set you free." These men have been through it, they've experienced all life has to offer.....and then some. They go on, they pick themselves up, dust themselves off and carry on - even if their hearts are empty. They all know that this is the hand that fate has dealt them - to be alone for the rest of their lives - and they've accepted that. But what if they're wrong? What if that bitch, fate, has one more surprise up her sleeve? What if love is what's waiting for them after they fall? What if life has one more surprise for them......a happily ever after..... Join the strong, yet vulnerable men of Black Ops Heroes as they continue on this incredible journey of discovery, some heartache and a whole heaping of love.
