Daniel Sousa was not as excited as he should be to start his new job. He’s lucky to have been recruited by the S.S.R and is honored that they chose him, a cripple, over any other perfectly normal man. The war permanently left its mark on Daniel and in his life, ensuring that he would never ever forget his service and the horrid things he saw and experienced. But the S.S.R looked past that and saw the dedicated soldier that he was and still is. Also he was unattached, having not met his soulmate yet so that made the S.S.R want him even more. It would be easier for him to go on high risk missions without someone worrying about and waiting for him at home. But Daniel would like to meet his soulmate, he would like to know what it’s like to experience color.
With a deep breath, Daniel walked into the S.S.R New York offices. The telephone ladies outside show him in and none of them comment on his leg, which was different. Nearly everyone he spoke with asked him about his leg or his crutch. A woman with red hair and glasses named Rose lead him to Chief Roger Dooley’s office.
“Come in” The chief says a few moments after Daniel knocked on the door.
With a deep breath, Daniel opened the door and swiftly, or as swiftly as he could with his leg, walked inside of the chiefs office. The chief stood from his desk and approached Daniel, sticking his hand out for a handshake. One that Daniel accepted after a moment. Out of the corner of Daniel’s eye he could see that there was another man in the office. All he could see were black suspenders, a white shirt, and a grey tye. But those descriptors could be used to describe nearly every man on the planet due to his inability to see color.
“It’s great to finally have you here, Sousa. This is your new partner, Jack Thompson” Chief Dooley says.
Daniel turns to face the man and both of their eyes slightly widen as they look at each other. Color had flooded both of their eyes and now all they wanted to do was look at each other for hours, absorbing all of the other ones different colors.
“N-nice to meet you” Jack says, sticking his hand out for a handshake.
Daniel accepts the handshake almost immediately and electricity flows up both of their arms. They let go of each other almost instantly and they turned back towards Chief Dooley.
“Jack why don’t you show Agent Sousa around?” Chief Dooley says, obviously trying to get the pair out of his office.
Jack gulped but slowly nodded his head. He started to move and left the office so Daniel followed him as fast as he could. Jack lead Daniel past all of the desks without saying a word despite other agents trying to get his attention. He lead the other man down a series of hallways until he pushed him into a relatively large storage closet.
That’s when they openly stared at each other directly in the eyes. Jack notes that Daniel’s eyes are absolutely perfectly and Daniel thinks that about Jack’s. Daniel is aching to kiss Jack and the blonde is feeling the exact same way. The two men just stand there in silence for a few minutes before Daniel breaks the silence.
“Are we ever going to say anything?” Daniel asks with a small chuckle.
“Can I kiss you now?” Jack asks bluntly.
“Yeah” Daniel responds with a laugh.
Jack nods and moves closer to Daniel. He cups the brunettes face and brings their lips together. Daniel lets his crutch fall to the floor as he grabs Jack’s hips and pulls him closer. Their noses bump a few times and the kiss is nowhere near being perfect. But it’s a good start.
A perfect start.
