CW: Sexual non detailed talks it's Russel and John what do you expect
The concept of Russel and John messing around before the army.
The concept of Russel and John doing it with eachother but never fully kissing or being intimate. Sure they fuck, they mess around but they never really get anywhere far.
they never go on actual dates, they never enjoy a sweet candle light dinner. They fuck and done
Sometimes when they felt risky they slept in the same bed. They mess around and then just fell asleep, it felt natrual. So? Sue them, will you.
Sometimes John and Russel watch the game drink some cans of beer and look at eachother. John would smile at Russel, a small one and he would look to long into his eyes until Russel got flustered. Then, both would look away and drink their beer.
They would not speak or act on any feelings. An unspoken rule, unless it's pure lust and they were both hopelessly single, they would mess with eachother.
They would not touch eachother where it wasn't necessary, they wouldn't kiss. Sure they had sex but that was because they were both lonely. You cannot expect 2, touch starved, men to be normal around eachother like that.
Sometimes...Sometimes when Russel notices the glances he would imagine himself plunging into a kiss. He would imagine connecting Johns and his lips together in a steamy wet and sloppy make out session. He would imagine it being more romantic too.
He would imagine him and john in the barracks, alone. He would imagine that they talk and then John would look at him like he does when they watch sports and He would slowly lean in and they would kiss.
He would imagine them in the shower together, close and giggling like 2 teenagers.
He would make love to him like he always wanted, not fast, he would do it slow, enjoy every part of John.
John was a bit of a romantic honestly, if he wasn't so deeply insecure of that side of him. He would dream instead, he would dream of dates, he would dream of seducing Russel. He would flirt and charm him, he would be vulnerable.
But neither of them acted on it. Those thoughts were fantasies, in their head. They simply do the next best thing, fuck and done. They don't waste their time being lovey dovey but even now in the army they wouldn't even do that anymore.
Russel had louise and John had Stella.
The first time both men were off the market at the same time.
