" Nate is resolute, unafraid, but Brad knows that look. He made his home in that look."

"Nate searches Brad's face, and Brad could watch him forever. He plans to."

"When they part, Nate's eyes are closed, and Brad allows himself a gloating smirk. He did that. He does that. No one gets to do that to Nate but him, and by god Brad is a lucky fuck......

"I just kissed you senseless in a broom closet," Brad points out. "What makes you think you have any dignity left?"

"I'll dignify you later," Nate says nonsensically"

Man! My heart melted, then melted somemore...then I laughed. I felt like I learned everything there is to learn about their relationship in just a few paragraphs : )

Thank you! So glad you enjoyed.

This was utterly perfect. I love how much history between them you managed to convey in such a short story.

That's exactly my intention, so I'm pleased it was conveyed! Thanks so much!
