Summary
Those are the times Gale feels like a younger sibling. Other times, he— doesn't, and there really isn’t any one word or phrase that encapsulates how he feels then.
Technically he's known John for almost his entire life. Hard not to put someone like that on a pedestal.
-- Gale has nowhere to go, except maybe his ex-best friend's older brother's place

Summary
“It’ll be fun,” Marge says to him over the phone as he’s unpacking another box in his tiny, studio apartment. “I’ve been to a few other classes, it’s a good environment.”
“It doesn’t sound like my sort of environment, Marge,” Gale says, picking up an astrophysics textbook that pushes the bounds of what a single-handed grip is capable of. It strains the tendons in his wrist as he tries not to drop it on the way to its new home in the built-in bookshelf. The edges of it are bloated, almost rubbery with how many times it’s been painted over in the same shade of white, a few spots chipped away to show rich brown wood underneath.
“Your sort of environment is on a hill with a telescope, with nobody around.”

Summary
The dark of the night finds them shoulder to shoulder on the balcony of the handstand, watching as the enlisted men shoot off red flares around a bonfire right into the midnight sky. A color that once meant blood spilled on the deck of a B-17. A man screaming for morphine, for their mother, for God. Now, it’s fired not in a signal of death but in celebration. Deliverance from evil.
Or, The Clegan Spin-off to "Here I Am (Right here with you)".
