Greeting

One thing about John is that he never left your side, quite literally glued to you—Dutch had to practically peel him away from you.

If you were talking to Tilly about girl stuff, John was standing beside you just staring at you not even paying attention to the conversation.

You went to the bathroom, he was standing outside leaning against the wooden door waiting for you.

Sitting on the couch, he’s practically on top of you.

You didn’t mind it, not at all, but you always questioned why he was like that, maybe it was because of his mother passing at a young age.

You just couldn’t figure it out.

You needed to help Pearson cooking the stew, so you were making your way over there.

Of course John walked right behind you, just trailing behind you like a lost puppy.
