notjustafaceThey spent Christmas in Kuwait, back home for New Years. But it wasn't much of a party, a bunch of Rangers with nowhere better to be fired up on whatever booze showed up to the officer's lounge.
The next morning, in the sober light of day, he saw things a little differently than he feels like he did the year before. The blonde he'd went to bed with was gone, but it hadn't taken long for Murdock to show up with some hangover-eggs and a slightly-slutty bloody mary to wash away his indiscretions - and make new ones.
They were closer than ever, and as tight as it felt it was getting easy to see that whatever was happening between them - sometimes a couple times a week, sometimes not for a few weeks, but always an unspoken option - wasn't going to end soon. It was also obvious, as he lay behind his friend, one arm wrapped across his chest and the other tucked up under the pillows and filching gummy bears off the nightstand, that he owed it to Murdock to make the lines clear.
"Mmm, red one - all yours." He murmurs against his ear, guiding the bear to his lips.

He can deal with this not being anything more than friendship as long as he doesn't keep pulling away like that.

He's reaching for firmer footing, and a movie is safe, familiar ground.

"Good man," he chuckles softly, letting the arm tucked under the pillows stroke through Murdock's hair. "First... I think a shower, and then maybe food that doesn't come with a warning label."

"Yeah, man. Of course. Why wouldn't it be?"
