"So how did Mona take it?"
"Fantastically. She was so happy. Remind me I owe you a new caregiver for the Mytheries... Don't tell Ray I said that."
Sarah laughs at her girlfriend. There's a pause. "How's Gary?"
"Not good. He's been in a slump ever since".
"John didn't ask him out yet?"
"You didn't know?"
The captain of the Wave Rider shakes her head.     "Although, I haven't seen him today". Panic attacks Sarah's voice. "What if he was kidnapped? That's my crewmember, for crying out loud!"
"Babe, relax" the clone takes her lover's face in her hands. "He loves Gary, he's probably got something planned."
Sarah smiles and kisses Ava.

"Why? Why John? I finally found someone and you chase her off!"
"Gare, please".
"Don't". Gary is pacing back and forth at the Bureau. Everyone else is home and sleeping. Hopefully - what agent would be up at 12 AM when there's work in seven hours?
"I mean, you sent her back to nearly the beginning of time!"
"Yes, but Gare -"
"No!" He stops pacing and points at him. "I gave you my heart, and you rejected it. It was kindly, but come on! Do you not want me to be with anyone? Because it's pretty damn hard when you're not buff, or you like 'Dungeons and Dragons', or because you don't meet a lot of people! You rejected me!"
"I know, Gare-"
"No you really don't! If you did, you wouldn't have gone and did that! I mean, I'm glad she's happy, but I know you did that on purpose! It's because you don't like me, right? Oh dear Lord, you did this because you hate me!" Gary takes a deep breath. John stands up from the desk he was sitting on. John grabs Gary and turns him to face him. He looks at his lips and takes his face in the hand he grabbed him with. Gary's now breathless. John bites the right side of his bottom lip and stares intently at Gary's perfect lips. Heart pounding at a thousand mph, the two finally kiss.

Of course, the two have kissed before. But this was different. John actually means it. Gary melts into him and reciprocates- all thoughts disappearing except for 'John'. 'John John John John John John John'.
Constantine breaks after an eternity, but also just a mere millisecond. Gary stares in a bit of a daze. "Wow" he breaths in shock. "That's- that's why you-?"
"Yes".
"And you got the Legends and Nora to help?"
John nods. "I couldn't let you go. Everyone I get close to gets into trouble because of me. But I- we- have the rest of the Legends and the whole Bureau if anything goes wrong. I couldn't see you with someone else who didn't - who didn't..." The warlock's eyes drift away, palms sweating and heartbeat increased.
"Didn't what, John?"
He takes in a deep breath and looks back at him. "Who didn't love you like I do. Nobody has or ever will love you like I do, Squire".
Gary smiles. "I love you, too... I love you so much, John." The two kiss again.
"What does this mean?"
"It doesn't have to mean anything" John says. "Or it could mean everything. It's your choice, love."
Gary pulls John in by his red tie. "It means everything" he whispers.
"Then that's what it is" his new boyfriend whispers back.
