Brad/Nate, h/c. Nate has terrible nightmares and hasn't slept properly in months. During the day he's mostly functional, but when Brad comes to visit he can see that Nate is exhausted and right at the edge of his ability to handle it, even though he's pretty great at hiding it. Brad stays the night, and Nate tries not to fall asleep, but he can't help it. He wakes Brad up, and Brad takes care of him.

It's getting close to one in the morning when Nate admits to himself that he can't fight sleep any longer. Usually the prospect of sleep is enough to fill him with dread on its own, but with Brad visiting for the weekend and staying with him, Nate can think of about two things that could be worse than his current situation. One includes going back to Iraq ( ... )

Brad's still alive, but barely. His mouth is red with coughed up blood and he's struggling for breath. Nate screams for Doc Bryan but suddenly he's nowhere to be found and Brad is slipping further and further away by the second. He grabs Brad's hand in his own, squeezing tight, ordering Brad to hold on as he looks up for the Doc one more time ( ... )
