Get Some

Brad Colbert is bored.

Nate knows this because he can feel Brad staring at him from his desk one aisle over and two chairs back. On the other side of the classroom, Ray Person’s making obscene hand signals in Nate’s general direction, ostensibly to get Brad’s attention. At least it better be to get Brad’s attention, or somebody’s going to have an accident in the weight room before practice.*

Fractures

“So I was thinking. This isn’t exactly my usual game, homes. And, uh—shit, I can’t believe I’m using this stupid fucking phrase,” Ray still looks uncomfortable and flushed, but he laughs, not the fucking sardonic laugh that filled the Humvee daily during their road trip in Iraq, but a rarer, honest laugh—”I’m actually going to have to take it slow. Reel the fish in.”




Going Somewhere Slowly

In theory, moving in with Nate seems like a great idea.*




Ray Person’s Big Gay World series

It’s around when Ray wants to hold Walt’s hand like a goddamn teenage girl with stars in her eyes and wet panties that he starts to worry.* I LOVED this.

Wine Sipping Communists

After the restaurant closes at 12am, Brad puts all the open bottles of wines-by-the-glass on the bar and says, “We’re not leaving until these are done.” He gives each of the busboys, the waiters, the sous chefs a stern look, then his gaze finds Nate. “Unless our superior officer has something to say about it.”*

Tennessee Waltz

“I feel you should be aware, sir, that I fucking hate country music. I thought you should know that before you decided whether to hire me or not.”

“Well, Mr. Colbert,” Nate said, leaning back in his chair, “I guess that depends on whether your hatred for Walt’s musical stylings extends to letting him get shot.”*




Date Night

Nate knew he shouldn’t fraternize with his men like this. Or, more accurately, one of his men.*

Noblesse Oblige

This was not a normal day. This day existed to prove that hell was real and it came with musical accompaniment by will.i.am.

Modern Romance followup

For a second Brad didn’t understand him, totally lost that little bit of a handle on Nate he had. Then Nate crawled on top of him.* In the Modern Romance verse.
