Charissa...

They met the officer's club, where else would he find a woman like her? She was passionate - intense, everything he wanted in a woman. It was easy to forget everything around her, everything about the man he was. She made it easy to turn a deaf ear on Hannibal's warnings about playing dangerous games and to turn a blind eye to the fact that Murdock was pulling away from him.

And it was all gone in an instant, the months together - the plans, the future.

They'd been lying in bed and he teased; "We're going to make such beautiful babies."

She laughed, at first. "How many of those beers have you had?"

"I mean it," and he really did, maybe it was time to settle down... do the family thing. "I'm being serious here."

Apparently she didn't feel the same. At least it sure as hell seemed that way when she walked out and stopped answering his calls and messages.

The second night alone he got a single text reply; "Don't call me again."

Well, that settles that. With a bottle of scotch alone in a dark room.

Seriously not fair. He's gonna have to have a talk with him later about playing nice.

"After you sober up. Promise."

he presses a brief kiss to Face's temple before returning to his mostly cold dinner.

"Eat your Skittles, at least."

He has his suspicions about that promise. He's a little too familiar with Face and his wandering hands.

"I told ya I wasn't going anywhere and I meant it."

"Nowhere I'd rather be."

He finally sets his empty plate aside, holding Face the way he needs to be held.

It won't always be like this. Not everyone leaves.

Somewhere, Keanu Reeves is yelling at Patrick Swayze, but that could be miles away for all he's paying attention.

"I'm right here," he assures him.

"Here." He holds out a few more Skittles, as if it'll fix anything.

When he's finished, he runs his hand through Face's hair the way he likes, not daring to get any closer.

"Any time, buddy."

"Mm, hey you."

As the sun makes itself known, he has no problem with pulling Face closer to him, wrapping his arms around him.

"How're you feeling?"

There's painkillers and water at the ready, should he need them. From its perch on the pillow, the stuffed brown cow Murdock knows Face gave him watches over them both.

"Not drunk enough to hallucinate tiny farm animals, if that's what you're wondering."

He reaches out and grabs the toy as Face reaches past. "Brownie just wanted to make sure you were okay."

He nods, settling down beside Face as he cuddles the stuffed cow.

"She seemed to like it."

He returns the kiss gladly, now that he knows it's not the alcohol influencing things.

"How many times have you gotten me through a med change, or a nightmare, or some other crap going on in my head?"

He shakes his head, returning Brownie to the bag from whence she came.

"Ain't any different."

"Best friends are supposed to be there for each other," he insists. "Doesn't make you any less my rock. You think I think any less of you 'cause it's your heart broken and not your brain?"

Clearly he has a lot to say about this.

"As good as you deserve."

They're obviously not getting anywhere by talking about this. He lies down beside Face, pulling him into his arms and kissing him the way he hadn't allowed himself to the night before.

"Get it?"

He shakes his head again, pressing in for another kiss.

"You still taste like Skittles."

"Love lots of things."

It's the closest he can come to saying what he really feels, at least right now. He snakes a hand under the collar of Face's shirt.

"And right now I think I got a promise to keep."
