“Damn it Brendon!” Ryan growled.
“Stop being a bitch, Ryan. He deserves it.”
“Stop being a kiss-ass. He's not your DrillSergeant anymore.”
“Children, if you can't behave I'm going to kickall of you out.” Nurse Kelly told them. Ryan liked her, evenPhillip liked her.
“He FED Phillip GUMMY bears.”
The nurse blushed slightly and hid the bagbehind her back.
“Oh…My...Fuckin...God! That's acheeseburger...Dude, that's a fucking cheeseburger.” Phillipblinked and grinned at the red-headed nurse.
“Uh huh. She wouldn’t?” Ryan took a deep breathand cursed. “You did, didn't you?”
Kelly sighed and handed Phillip thecheeseburger. “If you tell on me I'll lose my job!”
“Your secret is so safe with me. Brendon, ducttape Ryan's mouth shut.” Phillip ripped into the bag and sighedhappily when the greasy smell of the cheeseburger filled the room.“Oh God. Oh God, I've fucking died and gone to Heaven. Thank you,God!” His hand shook as he brought the burger up to his mouth andhis white teeth sunk into it. His groan was orgasmic.
Brendon blushed.
Ryan had to grin
And Kelly sighed. “It would figure thebest-looking guy on this ward is gay...and he has a sexier than sinboyfriend...I swear to God I'm going to turn into a man. It's theonly way.” She watched Phillip as he enjoyed his cheeseburger.“Only half. I'll save the other half and bring it to youlater.”
Phillip blinked but wasn't going to argue withhis angel who’d brought him a cheeseburger. He nodded.
“You so shouldn't have eaten that. If you getsick, no bitching.” Ryan griped, but couldn't deny the happiness onhis lover's face.

The next few days were a flurry of activity.First Patrick went back to Iraq. It was a tearful affair. They allpromised to get together after their deployments to celebrate Markand Patrick's marriage.
Second, Brendon went to jail but ended up outbecause everyone kinda understood where the Sergeant was comingfrom. Even so he was written up and lost his rank. He wasn't goingto bitch. It could have been a lot worse.
Ryan was quietly getting ready to go back. Hespent every moment with Phillip. They never spoke of feelings oreven of the incident from the first few days. But things were easybetween them. Phillip talked Ryan into giving him a sponge baththat led to Ryan taking a 'break' in the rest room. Phillip madesure Ryan was hard as hell, then told him to go 'relieve' itbecause he (Phillip) wanted to hear him come… That made Ryan groanloudly. Nurse Kelly decided to enter the room at that exactmoment.
“Oh for the love of….! Ryan! The man isn'tbetter yet and you're in there masturbating?”
Ryan choked and promptly lost his hard-on.“Jesus, woman! No wonder forty-five percent of the male populationhas thought about going gay at some point!”
“Are you telling me that the sound of my femalevoice killed your hard-on? You do realize I'm certified in givingyou shots-- in your ass I may remind you! And trust me when I say Ican make it hurt and not in a good way.”
Phillip chuckled.
Ryan came out blushing like a school boy. “Canwe not talk about my hard-on?”
“You brought it up,” she said teasingly. “You'relooking good, Sgt. Grabowski. Your color’s coming back and you’relooking so much healthier,” Kelly continued, grinning at theman.
“Baby, I always look good. When is someone goingto cut my hair?” he asked.
She rolled her eyes. “Later. Now suck on this.”She pushed a thermometer into his mouth, then took his bloodpressure. After she was done she smiled widely. “Everything islooking normal.”
She left shortly after that. Aside from theinterruption, he liked the nurse. She was friendly and had a wickedsense of humor.
Ryan sat down in the chair beside the bed andsighed.
“Three more days, huh?”
