“It was set to stop most people,” Troy huffed. “Just about everyone here is civilians. They wouldn’t spot the traps, let alone be able to dismantle them.” He gave Grey a pointed look. Not quite one that spoke of a dressing down but close enough. However seeing Grey like that, curled up in his bed, it wasn’t easy to hold that look. Even harder when Grey cracked wise about Troy’s bunk. He smiled and snorted. “I held rank over you. Perks of climbing the latter. You had could have cushy things too if you hadn’t gone around pissing everyone off.” Like that would ever happen. Part of Grey’s personality was not knowing when to hold his tongue. He had even popped off on Troy a few times. It was as frustrating as it was endearing. He turned and looked away when Grey spoke again. He knew, yeah. But it wasn’t something that he wanted to bring up. He didn’t see Grey like that. Grey was his brother in arms. They had run around in camps, stationed together too many times to count. “Yeah,” he said, turning his gaze back to Grey. “Doesn’t change the fact you’re still a pain in the ass.”
“But you never know when someone is going to break into your room that’s not a civilian. What if I happened to be some spy with a personal vendetta against you? I could have easily taken down you defenses and got the perfect nights rest in your bed.” The smile on his face was wide as he stretched himself out further into the comfort of the man’s bed. “I didn’t piss everyone off, just those that didn’t have a sense of humor and were assholes.” He knew he could be a bit abrasive to some people, but that was only because everyone seemed to take their lives a bit to seriously. Everyone needed to slow down and open up. “I’m a good doctor.” He had worried about that- unsure of when he had gone from trauma doctor to nose and throat doctor at an underground sex establishment- oh right, his fucking ex…the chief of his last hospital. Fucker.  “I’m your favorite pain in the ass, and you know it- though I think Daredevin is starting to win you over- What do I gotta do to fix that?” He laughed as he sat up, grabbing hold of the other’s wrist to tug him into bed with him.
“A spy? Get out of here. Frist, you would make a shitty spy. You talk too much. Second, I’ve vetted people around here. You don’t think I didn’t take some precautions?” He frowned shaking his head a the thought. Grey knew him better than that. Or at least he should. “No one in any branch of the military as a sense of humor. that why they join the military, duh.” Troy laughed as he said this. Grey had a point but when your life is rank and file there is no room for upstarts and people that caused trouble and that how a good number of people saw grey. It was a wonder he made it to Captain. Of course, no one could deny his skill. When working on a patient he was fast, calm and capable. He was a marvel to watch at work. “You’re an amazing fucking doctor,” He said. The mention of Devin had troy frowning. He already missed the other. He would never tie Dev down. Not in a million years but he did wish that the other would stay. Maybe next time he would just go with Devin. Whatever corner of the world the guy flew off to, Troy could easy board a plane and go with. He wasn’t giving long to think about this as grey pulled him down on the bed. He growled and righted himself so that he was sitting up. “You can start by not jerking on me like a rag doll. I have half I mind to knock you one. Or sic Jordon on you. “
