"God damn thermals." Brad sounds- fraught is the most apt word Nate can come up with. Decidedly fraught. And frustrated. If there were enough light to see more than just shapes and shadows, Nate suspects Brad would look petulant. "At the risk of sounding ungrateful, sir, I really wish you hadn't acquired so many batteries this morning."
Nate raises his eyebrows. "At the time, if I recall correctly - and I'm quite certain I do - your words were 'I could kiss you'. And I got the distinct impression that you would have offered more if there hadn't been young and impressionable ears close by, not to mention a reporter taking down every word."
"That was a lack of foresight. They were definitely not worth you blowing a Sergeant Major over in the First Tank Battalion, or bending over for some POG, or whatever it was you did to get them."
Nate knows the Sergeant Major in the First Tank Battalion. The thought of sucking his dick isn't a pleasant one. And he doesn't bend over for anyone other than Brad. He lets his expression convey his distaste and hopes Brad picks up on it in the dark, but otherwise ignores the accusations.
"You choose some unusual issues to rail against, Brad. You've got Iraqi ambushes, sand in your boots, fucked up commands, half rations and more to pick from, and you opt to gripe about everyone in the platoon having batteries?"
"Think about it. How the hell are we going to get any privacy when the entire platoon has enough batteries. You think it's strange that I'm frustrated because I can't find a single god damn place to blow you that won't be overlooked by Marines with working NVGs?"

HA! This is hilarious, and so very Brad-like! This very much a case that proves Mick Jagger isn't always right - they have what they need, but not what they want. *loves*

Hee, thanks. They're both very frustrated!!! (I meant to try and keep going and have them finally find somewhere for a quick handjob if nothing else, but I think if I'd done that, it'd have languished unfinished forever!)

That we will! I have, however, decided not to smut out the prompt I'm working on right now -- I just can't make them go there. Maybe a hint. The next one, though? Totally fair game.

Oh, sug, I wouldn't say well; I'd just say that they're going along, and I'm having fun with them, too. I had to forcefully stop myself from writing Ray last night, because he was getting far too out of hand. *shakes head*

I had to forcefully stop myself from writing Ray last night, because he was getting far too out of hand. *shakes head* But that's what Ray does! You just have to let him go with it - Brad likes it!

I have the urge to write that, too. Except I want to write that and then have Brad shutting Ray up in a certain way. And I don't know if I have short B/R in me.

Man has a point. A good point.
"Fucking batteries," Nate says, heartfelt.
