Hi, dear readers, I'm sorry what happened in the last chapter. You know, my negative energy consuming me. Sorry about that. Next time, I should be more positive.

Another song inspired oneshot. This is also requested.

"Pierson," a voice called out.

Pierson was there sleeping on his bed. The sleep made him ignore the voice. The voice was patient to tap him on the shoulder.

Pierson groaned tiredly. However, the voice made him perk his eyes up to open. He stood up and rubbed his eyes.

Now very awake, he glanced around to look for something. His shock came when he saw a man in front of him.

The man had familiar features. Pierson surely recognize the guy. It was his fallen comrade, Joseph Turner.

Awe made Pierson stand up. His comrade was dead during the Operation in Hurtgen Forest. The shots he took not only pierced his flesh, but also Pierson's heart.

Comrades to lovers were their status. Turner ignored that to save his men.

"William, how are you," Turner asked.

The question saddened Pierson than make him overjoy. His life was harder after his lover died in the war.

"Could have been better," Pierson sighed.

"Why's that,"

"You know what happened in Hurtgen Forest breaks my heart. I could have been there. Or there should have been other plans. I'm the one to-"

"Pierson, there are reasons why I did that," Turner interrupted him.

"Then why didn't we do that together, Joseph. Why does one man have to die and the other?" Pierson said, looking away.

Pierson had a point. Why did life had to be so unfair? When a sacrifice is done why one, but not the other?

Turner let out a sigh. "I knew I would end up like this while returning here. William, I know this would be hard. I heard so much regret in you. Maybe you should let me go,"

Alarm bells were rang inside Pierson. He immediately hugged Turner. This would never be so easy for the man to let go. Stuck in the past, Turner helped him a lot to battle alcohol abuse.

"No, Joseph. There should be another way." he said, tears flowing from his eyes.

He was still attached to his lover. The hug wouldn't let Turner go. Pierson remained close minded with the future.

"William, please let me go," Turner grunted, trying to free himself from his lover's embrace.

"Joseph, please don't...don't leave me," Pierson begged, sobbing.

"William, I taught you how to go on with your life. I gave you the help I can give. Now, you have to learn to live your life without you turning to the past," Turner explained. "Goodbye, William. I love you." He disappeared.

"Joseph! Joseph, please...Joseph!" Pierson called.

*****

"Joseph!" he yelled.

He realized he wasn't standing, but lying down on his bed. Realization struck him that he had been crying so much. It was already four in the morning.

The most crucial part: he saw Turner. They talked a lot, but it wasn't long enough. He missed his lover so much that he wanted to extend the dream, but it was too late.

How was he supposed to move on with his lover gone? Who would help him fly and continue with his life?

Voila!!! Here is your oneshot. I cried while writing this. Listen to the song and cry to your heart's content. I recommend listening to the song because it was so sad.

The message of the song is so nice. I even cried a lot while listening to it. Did you like the oneshot?

I think I put the line of Jack Mitchell of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare in Pierson's line. To those fan of Jack Mitchell or Advanced Warfare, you know what I'm saying.

Hope you enjoy, my dear readers. Thanks for all the support. Have a nice day and stay safe.
