I do not own Halo in anyway. Just had to write other John x Cortana story for the heck of it! Enjoy!

During End of Halo 4.

Floating out in deep space was John, also known by a few other monikers such as Master Chief, Spartan 117, or the Demon (by a certain alien group called the Covenant).

It was so quiet out there, with a good view of the billons of stars constantly sparkling in the surrounding darkness. It was hard to believe what had happened, with a love lost in a battle won.

Given John's present state of being, he had plenty of time to think about her, a petite blue lady that had been working with him to help save humanities butt from various aliens for the past eight years.

Little did he know back then, that their hearts would grow so close, and it was not because she was literally living in his head tracking his vital signs. Even though she seemed to be just another "smart AI" to most people, he had always thought Cortana was something extra special.

In a strange way, she made him feel human. After taking down the Flood together, she had unknowingly become his first true love. John wanted to be there for her always, to protect Cortana from anything that dared try to hurt her.

John felt his heart beat slower as he watched the rubble of the starship that had blown up around him float past.

"Why did you have to leave me?" whispered John letting a few tears he did not know he had fall, as the last of Cortana's hard light faded into the darkness of space.

There were so many things he should have said to her before this. When Cortana was with John, she had his heart in her hands giving an impression of a love he had never felt before. It was almost as if she kept him together. Now that she was gone, he felt a big part of himself go missing. Could he go on living with a broken heart like this?
