FILL: Yielding Center 3/3

[templemarker]

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.

"Let's go to a party," he murmurs, and Nate nods, shaking off the kiss and straightening his tunic. Brad smooths a hand down Nate's buttons, lets his hand stray for a hairsbreadth to Nate's half-hard cock just to watch his nostrils flare and his pupils widen. Nate punches him in the arm a second later and says, "Stop groping me. It's undignified."

"I just kissed you senseless in a broom closet," Brad points out. "What makes you think you have any dignity left?"

"I'll dignify you later," Nate says nonsensically, but with a hot look on his face that says he means it. "Let's go celebrate our birthday."

Nate fumbles open the door and they nearly spill out of the closet and on to the ground. A PFC and a corporal who look too young to be as drunk as they so clearly are have incredibly surprised looks on their faces and are trying to hide their reactions poorly.

"Children," Brad acknowledges with a Gunny stare. He does a little Picard maneuver and steadies Nate with a hand. When Nate gives him one of the many, many exasperated looks Brad has earned over the years, Brad just smiles sweetly and takes his hand. "After you, Mr. Fick-Colbert."

Nate snorts, another look on his face. "You know perfectly well it was Colbert-Fick, Gunnery Sergeant. Come on, I want to show off the rings to Bryan and see how many curse words he can fit into one sentence again."

Brad looks at him approvingly as they move towards the music. "Happy fucking birthday to me. Hoorah."

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]

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]

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. :)

[templemarker]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, THEY COME OUT OF THE CLOSET AT THE BIRTHDAY BALL!

This is so fantastic!

[fandomfan]

Ray will mock this for years.

[dargai]

And rightfully so. I suspect the PFC and corporal are going to have that same belated reaction after they've worked off their hangovers.

[templemarker]

Thank you! Hilariousness squared: I didn't even realize I'd written that until you pointed it out. /o\

[dargai]

It took me right til the end to realize it myself and then I cackled like a madwoman. :) it's lovely when your brain puts in subtext without you even knowing. Well done, brain!
