  Summary

  What a fucking idiot he had been, to think that him and Ford could have a future together. But how was he supposed to know he wanted something else? Ford had promised! He had fucking promised he’d be there, that they would both be there, together against the world! And now at the drop of a hat —a fucking pamphlet, that’s all it took—, he was willing to give up his (their) life’s dream just to join the very same people who had always looked down on them!
