Could someone PLEASE write a quiet Brad/Nate scene wherein Nate talks/comforts Brad about the two kids who were shot by Trombley. I hate how I still feel like Brad carries that unnecessary guilt around.

Nate looked up to see Brad walking away from the reporter, up and onto the berm. The set of his shoulders did nothing to ease the sickening knot that had been in the pit of Nate's stomach since this afternoon. He waited five minutes before telling Mike that he'd be back. There was a little too much understanding in Mike's eyes as he nodded silently, but Nate tried not to think about it. He set off, not in the direction Brad had been moving, but once he got far enough out, he changed his heading to hopefully intercept

Nate massaged the back of Brad's neck. “You are not reckless. You are a very smart and very skilled Marine.” Nate's voice softened as he said, “and I think you are a good man, Brad.”

SO MUCH love for this fic ♥ ♥ ♥ Nate's tenderness, as well as Brad's, absolutely killed me. I really loved all the little gestures, like Nate rubbing Brad's neck, Brad needing to feel Nate's skin on his own and him kissing his neck...
Also, I loved that Nate had trouble pushing away the lust he feels for Brad. It's very human and it was a very nice touch.
Here are a few lines that made me melt:
He brought his left hand to the base of Brad's neck, rubbing his thumb slowly across the edge of his hairline. “I came to see how you were.”

I really enjoyed writing it, but then ~2 minutes after I posted it, I was all "AAAh, that was so convoluted and conflicted! What did I think I was doing???"
