I'm glad I was wrong - Hancock

Story request for @LiveLong-Prosper

Another day in the commonwealth.I saw the sun rise from my hotel room, i wish i had my own house, but i don't have those kind of caps, but everyday i know i need to keep going so i can make that possible. I got up out of bed and stretched. My head felt a bit weird, possibly because i wasn't on psycho or jet. I know it's not good for me, but i promised myself that in the future i'm gonna quit and get better. I have been hooked on it ever since i was with the gunners. I know i left that past behind me but i need chems to keep me going for now, it's the only way. I grabbed some psycho and injected it into my arm. Damn it felt good, but i know the effects are gonna weaken me afterward, but i don't care i will just take more to feel better. I put on a white ripped up t-shirt , my jeans, my combat boots, and grabbed my bandana. Before i put on my bandana i looked down at it. I remembered the days where it used to be black and white with a skull, the gunner days. I'm glad i left those inhumane psychos. The memories still come back to me though. I put my red bandanna and metal armor on. I went to grab my scoped laser pistol at the side of my bed, but it wasn't there. I immediately freaked out and looked everywhere. I looked under my bed and there it was and i calmed down, "it must have fallen over and somehow gotten under there" i sighed. I was ready. I walked out of my hotel room and locked my room, i've been staying here for 5 months but feels like i'm living in an apartment instead of a hotel. It's always the same faces i see, and the same routine every morning. Today i want to break free and change. There's something i'm missing from my life. I wouldn't say i was at rock bottom but i'm definitely not going any further up. Before this i was in diamond city, i tried to help anyone there and buy the house home plate but i didn't exactly like how diamond city was directed to the more richer common people who don't exactly take more than they give. I wasn't getting enough caps there so decided to move on to somewhere that might need me more. I always believed in life you have two hands, one to help yourself and one to help others. I moved onto Goodneighbor, i'm not gonna lie there was a lot to fix before i got here. Now everyone knows who i am, especially Mayor John Hancock.

There's something about him that stands out than the rest of the others, and i'm not talking about him being a ghoul. I love his views on the people of the commonwealth and Goodneighbor. I respected him because he doesn't put himself above everyone. Which reminds me he asked me to go see him today he wanted to talk about something. When i got to Goodneighbor he said he liked my attitude; After we talked and had some jet in his office that night he told me he wanted to have a break from being the mayor, and seek for more people in need in the commonwealth. We decided to travel in the commonwealth together for about 2 months, during that time we became really good friends, we still are but i don't see him as often as i would like to. He knows almost everything about me there is to know. He's a good person so i knew i could trust him with anything. I knew a lot about him to, like i said before we were really good friends, hopefully we still are.

As i walked out of hotel rexford i decided to do the hard stuff on the list of things to do today. Daisy wanted me to return a book to the library and clear it out from the super mutants. I wanted to talk to hancock first but i promised Daisy that i would do this by the end of today. So i went to Kleo and stocked up on ammo and left Goodneighbor to help the commonwealth.

I returned to Goodneighbor at 6 in the afternoon, and i was extremely exhausted. I needed a shot of psycho or jet, maybe hancock would like to get high with me in his office. I remembered i need to see him for this "talk" he wanted to have. I walked to the front of the building telling the guards i was going to see hancock.I didn't need to get approval by the guards, i was going to get into this building whether they like it or not, but i just didn't want to pick a fight, i was too exhausted.They guard nodded his head in approval to walk in and so i did. I walked up the stairs hearing Hancock talking to himself, i remember he told me he does that when he's nervous about something. He must have seen me walk into the building from the window in his office. That's another thing about Hancock that i like, he still gets nervous to talk to me. This meant whatever he wanted to tell me was important. He has no reason to get nervous to talk to me; i remember i asked him once why he does that and he flat out told me he doesn't want to say something that might throw me off, or look at him any differently. He could never tell me anything like that unless it was "i hate you and i'm gonna murder you" but i really don't think Hancock would tell me that unless he was joking. I got up to his office and noticed he was sitting on his red couch in his office about to take a hit of jet until i yelled " WAIT". Immediately stopped what he was doing and looked up at me. I smirked " what happened to waiting to get high with your best friend?". He looked down at the jet in his hand and looked up at me with a smile. He scooted over on the couch and picked some jet up on the coffee table and threw it to me. I walked over and sat next to him and nudged his arm and took of my bandana. We both have this tradition when we take jet. We wrapped our arms around each other and count down in unison, "3, 2, 1, GO!". We took a hit of the jet we both had in our hands and laid our heads back on the couch. I laughed and he turned his head to me, "damn i really do miss that" he said. I smirked. "Well you could have just told me to come have jet with you and i would have ran as fast as i could into your office". He laughed considering he knows that's true. " i really need to get something off my chest though, and it's not the jet speaking". I know when he said that he meant one of his rambles he says only we he's high. I sat up on the couch and ask " is everything alright?". He smirked " Oh yeah, better than that. This is just, tricky. It's just being out here with you it's made me realize, most of my life to this point, i've running out on the good things i've got. I skipped on my family, my life in diamond city. Took up with you just to get out of Goodneighbor. Hell running from myself is what made me into a damn ghoul. But being here with you for the first time in my life, things have just felt..right. And running, It's the furthest thing from my mind. I mean, i left Goodneighbor thinking i was gonna just gonna sharpen up the 'ol killer instinct. But whether it's fate, or destiny or just a goddamn coincidence i ended up with someone like you. I turned one of the nastiest settlements in the Commonwealth into a refuge for the lost. I thought i done something i could hang my hat on. But being out here with you, it's just made me realize just how small time I've been thinking. And maybe all my running, from my life, myself..... Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing after all." i was so interested into what he was talking about, but yet i was still a little confused. " Running from yourself? What do you mean?". He snorted at my question and smirked. " Well... i mean i haven't always looked this good. The drug that did this to me, that made me a ghoul, i knew what it was going to do. I just couldn't stand looking at the bastard i saw in the mirror anymore. The coward how let all those ghouls in Diamond city die. Who was too scared to protect his fellow drifters from Vic and his boys. If i took it i would never have to look at him again. I could put all that behind me, I'd be free. Didn't seem like a choice at all. Turns out it was just me runnin from somethin' else in my life". I knew what he was getting at. " You may have run, but you always ran for a reason, Hancock". He smiled knowing i understood what he was telling me " Been trying to convince myself of that for a long time, but hearing that from someone like you... I don't know if you understand what that means to me. So let me get to the point. Throwing in with you has been the best decision i've ever made. It's like i found apart of myself i never realized was missing. Which happens sometimes when you're a ghoul. If i hadn't taken up with you, i'd probably be in a gutter somewhere getting gnawed on by radroaches. You have been one hell of a friend". As he was saying what he said i realized me and him had a strong connection between us, and is was something way beyond friendship. So i decided to step up and tell him how i was feeling to. " have you ever thought of us maybe more that just friends?'. His eyes got bigger in shock and he smiled back. " Heh, is it that obvious. Common you don't want to wake up to this mug every morning. I never wished that on anyone i cared for-". I cut him off. " Who i fall for is my decision and i've fallen for you". He was blushing like crazy, but so was i. " Wouldn't expect that kind of lapse in judgement from you, But i guess that works out for me then, doesn't it? Heh, moments like this i know all that karma stuff is bull because no one like me should be getting this lucky. Common love, let's get this freakshow on the road". I smiled big and blushed like crazy. Both of us had finally found what we were looking for. For the first time for a long time i'm really happy. He smirked at me " Well damn i just realized i can do this". I was confused at first. " what do you mea-". He cut me off and pinned me down on his red couch. Looked into my eyes and kissed me passionately on the lips. It was an amazing feeling. He let go of my wrist he had pinned above my head but still kinda on top of me> " I've always wanted to be more than friends with you, but thought you would never want to go further than friends. I'm glad i was wrong". I got up and he had a puzzled look on his face, i went to the doors and closed and locked them. " oh i can prove you wrong on that with more than just a kiss." he grinned back at me understanding where i was coming from " then why don't you come over here and show me?". I slowly walked over and straddled him. " can do".
