Awwwww! Boys!! ♥ It takes them awhile to stop being stupid assholes but it's worth it in the end. My favorite part might have been the ringtone Nate has for Brad though. Perfection.

[snglesrvngfrend]

Yeah I pretty much decided that Brad's ringtone had to be "Ice Ice Baby". Is there a more perfect/appropriate thing in all the world? No.

I'm glad you like it; if you didn't I might have to lay down and die. Just die.

♥YOU♥

I'm glad they found their way to each other, even if it wasn't easy. In my world Brad and Nate need to have their happy ending. ;)

[snglesrvngfrend]

If there were no happy ending, certain people *cough amberlynne cough* would KILL me. Nate will always get back to Brad though; it is the natural order of things :]

Glad you liked; thanks for commenting!

B. B. I love this. So much it hurts me. I love the quick cuts of life, the little moments that make a much bigger story without wasting words.

I love how you straddle the line between in and out of theatre, even while being out of Iraq completely.

This is so quiet and atmospheric and deep like water and fits the song so well.

And this:

Nate’s not fighting a war anymore, as a Marine or otherwise

totally struck me, right through. At midnight and now. You are so talented, girl. ♥

[snglesrvngfrend]

Compliments from you are, like, something better than amazing.

I really wanted to get the sense of the song without being blatant or throwing lyrics in there or whatever. If that worked, a feeling of emulation of the song, then I feel successful.

You are so awesome, and I CAN'T WAIT for the rest of this challenge to vindicate your awesomeness. BRING ON THE STORIES! ♥

[sansdatelimite]

Aw yeah. This is awesome.

The nights are getting longer and the cold is getting deeper. Nate thinks about visiting Brad, but somehow he never makes it to buying a plane ticket.
Nate. Nate, Nate, Nate. ):

& Ray having a cookout at Brad's place without Brad's permission, but it's not like Brad killed him for it. Brad & Ray BFFdom. \o/

I love everything about this. I would go on but really I would just quote everything back at you and flail, so I'mma stop myself and just say that this was brilliant. <3

[snglesrvngfrend]

YAY! Ray and Brad aren't "friends" in the sense that Brad usually wants to punch Ray in the face but somehow restrains himself. Maybe that's all friendship is: not punching someone in the face even though you always want to.

I'm so glad you liked it, and thanks so much for the comment!

Two days after that, when the soreness is just beginning to fade, Nate concedes that this was the point, and the ache shifts to his chest, where it usually resides in Brad’s absence.

I love how Brad is trying to make Nate remember him in every possible way!♥
It took Nate long enough to come to his senses, but I am so glad that he did!

[snglesrvngfrend]

He had to; can you imagine if you had that waiting for you on the other side of the country and not eventually giving in and going there? Nope, me either.

So pleased it worked for you; thanks for the comment :]
