Short end of the stick (John Price)

In the bustling city of London, where the rhythm of life seemed to never slow down, Y/N lived her days quietly, almost unnoticed by those around her. She was always there for others, offering warmth and comfort without hesitation. Her heart was gentle and giving, yet no one ever paused to consider her own desires or needs.

Y/N worked in a quaint café tucked away in a corner of the city, where she served customers with a smile and brewed coffee that seemed to chase away the chill of the city's grey mornings. But behind her warm exterior, Y/N carried the weight of being taken for granted, her kindness often met with indifference.

It was on one such ordinary day that John Price walked into her life. He was not like the others – a soldier, disciplined and resolute, with a gaze that could pierce through walls. John had a presence that commanded attention, yet he carried himself with a quiet strength that intrigued Y/N.

John frequented the café, not just for the coffee, but to see Y/N. He noticed how people treated her, as if she were merely a convenience rather than a person with feelings. It didn't sit right with him. Unlike others, John saw Y/N for who she truly was – a rare soul deserving of admiration and love.

As their interactions grew, John made it his mission to brighten Y/N's days. He brought her small gifts, flowers picked from gardens on his missions abroad, and always took the time to listen to her thoughts and dreams. Y/N, initially hesitant to believe in such kindness, found herself gradually opening up to John's sincerity.

It wasn't long before John introduced Y/N to his team – a loyal group of soldiers who shared his commitment to duty and honor. They quickly saw what John saw in her – a beacon of warmth and compassion in a world often cold and harsh. They embraced her, treating her with the respect and care she had long deserved.

John's devotion to Y/N knew no bounds. He surprised her one evening with the keys to a small house he had purchased, a place where they could build a future together. For Y/N, it was overwhelming to be cherished in such a profound way. John would rush home from missions, eager to hold her in his arms and share stories of his adventures.

Their love grew deeper with each passing day, John viewing Y/N as his own goddess, worthy of every ounce of affection he could offer. She became his muse, his inspiration in moments of doubt and darkness. And Y/N, for the first time in her life, felt truly seen and loved.

Together, they forged a bond that defied the odds, overcoming challenges with unwavering support for one another. John's team became their extended family, celebrating milestones and offering a sense of belonging that Y/N had never known before.

In Y/N's presence, John found solace and purpose beyond the battlefield. She was the calm in his storm, the anchor that kept him grounded amidst chaos. Their love story became a whispered legend among those who knew them, a testament to the transformative power of unconditional love and genuine connection.

And so, in the heart of London, amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Y/N and John Price found their own sanctuary – a haven where their love could flourish, and where Y/N, once overlooked and underestimated, blossomed into the cherished queen of John's heart.

On the morning of their wedding day, Y/N stood before the mirror, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted the veil that framed her face. She couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and nervousness swirling inside her. This day, the culmination of their love story, meant the world to her.

As she took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves, Gaz entered the room with a small envelope in his hand. He smiled warmly at Y/N, knowing the significance of this moment. "John wanted me to give you this," Gaz said gently, handing her the letter. Y/N's heart skipped a beat as she took it, her eyes welling up with tears even before she opened it.

In John's neat handwriting, the letter expressed his deepest emotions, his gratitude for having Y/N in his life. He poured out his love and admiration, promising to cherish and protect her always. His words wrapped around Y/N like a comforting embrace, easing her nerves and reaffirming her decision to spend her life with him.

Gaz, sensing her emotions, offered words of reassurance and encouragement. "You're meant for each other, Y/N. John's a good man, and he's lucky to have found someone like you." His sincerity touched her, reminding her of the bond she now shared not only with John but with his team as well – a family united by love and loyalty.

As Y/N walked down the aisle later that day, all eyes turned to her, but her gaze was fixed solely on John. She saw him standing at the altar, his eyes glistening with tears of joy as he watched her approach. In that moment, surrounded by their closest friends and family, Y/N felt a profound sense of belonging and contentment. She knew she was exactly where she was meant to be.

Their wedding ceremony was a celebration of their love, marked by laughter, heartfelt vows, and moments of pure joy. John and Y/N exchanged rings, sealing their commitment to each other amidst cheers and applause. The day continued with a lively reception, filled with music, dancing, and heartfelt toasts honoring the couple.

For Y/N, it was more than just a wedding day – it was a symbol of a new beginning, a life filled with love and happiness. Surrounded by people who genuinely appreciated and valued her, she realized that she had found her place in life. She was no longer the one with the shorter stick, but a cherished queen in John's heart, supported and adored by their extended family.

As they danced together that evening, John whispered in Y/N's ear, "You've made me the happiest man alive." And Y/N, her heart overflowing with love, knew that she had finally found her forever in John, in a love story that would continue to be written with every beat of their hearts.
