Summary
They stand in the white sand and watch the officer’s tent, waiting for someone to come out and give orders. There’s a lot more waiting around in being a marine than Tommy had thought there’d be. It’s not so bad, not when it gives him the chance to watch Sergeant Tozer out of the corner of his eye. He’s wearing the same fatigues as the rest of them but Tommy thinks he looks better, like he’s taller somehow, though he’s not, and he stands with a bit of a slouch. Even so, there’s a breadth to him that makes Tommy want to go up and press his face to his shoulder, ask to be held. There’s no good ending that can come of those thoughts, but they’re there nevertheless.
Kuwait, March 2003. War is about to start. Tommy Armitage is finally a Royal Marine, just like he’s always dreamed. Sergeant Tozer is a complicating factor.

Summary
John had been so terrible at this at first. Billy hadn’t realized when he’d opened Tinder while crying into his cider about the last of many supposedly relationship-ending fights with Cornelius that swiping right on “John, 28” meant signing up to hold his hand through Gay Sex 101. The first time John had looked at his dick like he was afraid it might make sudden movements and then tried to put it in his mouth and promptly gagged. Billy had almost left right then, but it turns out John is good at taking instructions.

Summary
Tommy's been after it all night.
Sol has pulled Tommy onto his lap, but that’s only practical. The lad can’t hear much of anything in this sort of racket and this way Sol can talk right into his ear. Tommy is giggling and shifting in his lap and Sol nuzzles the side of his face, tickles the sliver of skin between his jeans and his shirt. He’s thinking it’s time to take him home and fuck him properly but then Tommy steals his beer and takes a long sip from the bottle, looking at Sol through those lashes.

Summary
You’re too old to be this sentimental, he tells himself, brushing the fabric with extra vigor. What matters is that he act prudently and not risk a good position over a dark brow and a pair of broad shoulders. He is not a ship’s boy anymore, cocky over the surety of his next meal for the first time in his life and the knowledge of his ability to catch a man’s eye. He did not make it this far by indulging in risks or asking for more than was good for him. He hadn’t batted an eye when the admiralty had laughed Crozier’s attempts at securing his lieutenancy out of the room. He is accustomed to wanting what he cannot have.
