Yes, yes, Colbert and Fick prep for the big night (aka please oh please put them both in dress blues). But they've been uber stealth, and no one actually knew they were more than just "Colbert and Fick".

Until this year.

In the mirror they look startlingly similar, despite age and time. The uniform is designed to bring all soldiers to act together as one, and in this instance it works all too well. Nate is just a hair shorter than Brad, their white-top hats nearly even in the reflected light. Nate got a haircut for this, making him look impossibly younger even to Brad's knowing eyes ( ... )

"Brad," Nate says again, only this time he's just shy of wrecked. Brad raises his hand, straightens the brim of Nate's cover, and runs his thumb along Nate's eyebrow ( ... )

When they part, Nate's eyes are closed, and Brad allows himself a gloating smirk. He did that. He does that. No one gets to do that to Nate but him, and by god Brad is a lucky fuck ( ... )

MEEP. So goddamn perfect. The details in this take my breath away.

"I have never not wanted to do this," Brad says before Nate can even finish speaking.
I definitely made an undignified noise when I read that. *G*

"I'll dignify you later," Nate says nonsensically, but with a hot look on his face that says he means it.
NNGGGG. Never has nonsense been so hot.

Thank you so much! I'm so pleased you enjoyed it.

So basically wedding fics are my crack, and this is close enough to that to make me squee. :)))) Totally made my morning!

templemarker November 7 2012, 02:21:43 UTC

Yay! I'm glad you liked it. :)

Nate looks resolute, unafraid, but Brad knows that look. He made his home in that look.

I love that. And this whole thing. Lovely.

templemarker November 7 2012, 02:22:17 UTC

Thank you so much. That was actually my favorite line too--something clicked when it was typed for me.

Oh! Oh, this is so lovely, and so what I was hoping for with that prompt.

I love how smitten Brad is with Nate in this. Holding the door for him (and especially looking stoic in the face of Nate's grin at his chivalry... that line rocks my socks) and smoothing his eyebrow and noticing how Nate turns into his hand and most most most especially being so gloatingly happy that he's the one lucky enough to get to kiss Nate senseless.

And I love how Nate is totally soothed by Brad. Brad's learned how to read Nate and handle him accordingly, and as with all things in his life, in this situation he does so extremely competently.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for an awesome prompt. :)

This is so fantastic!

Ray will mock this for years.
