--- Chase's Point of View ---

That was the worst feeling that I have ever felt, and I don't feel a lot.

Had he just used me for sex? Can someone be used for sex if they initiated it? Why the hell am I so bothered by him just leaving like that?

I mean, that was wonderful sex but I kind of wanted more, more sex and more of him, but there was no way I was going to chase him, not my style.

I laid back down, after a moment I pulled out my cell phone, I had Maverick's number saved.

Me

If you really want to know, I think I'm brave enough to tell you.

He walked in literally five minutes later, I looked at him and narrowed my eyes.

"Are you staying on base?"

"Yeah."

He came over and pulled up a chair, I was half tempted to say that I fucked Rooster, just to see his reaction but I thought better on it, and I was about to tell him something horrible about me.

"So what made you respond that way to Jake?"

I sighed, I leaned my head down and realized I smelled like Rooster – and sex, damn.

"About a year ago my twin brother and I were at a cabin on Lake Tahoe."

"You have a twin brother?"

"I HAD, it was our first indicator that things were amiss and that the Navy got me compromised, we were out on a boat, and another one came up behind us, they shot him in the head, if I hadn't of taking the boat controls I would have been taken." 

"Shit. I'm sorry."

"So am I, Maverick I lost my hesitant tether to my internal humanity when he died, I'm not normal."

He let out a sigh. "That is why you have to stay away from Bradley."

'Bit late for that.' My brain mocked, but I kept a poker face.

"He's a grown man, I think he can make his own choices."

"He's just started getting better over the past year, he's a better man, if you are going to go after anyone it should be Jake."

I shook my head, looking at it from a relative point of view he was right, Hangman was a better fit for me, by far. 

"I'll take that into consideration, I think we both need sleep."

He nodded.

"Goodnight Chase, for what is worth I don't think your humanity is gone, maybe just hidden."

"Goodnight Maverick."

{Mid-Morning}

I woke up started and looked around, sitting on the side of my bed was Hangman, he gave me a wide smile and he was holding a breakfast burrito on a plate for me.

"Here, eat, the Vice Admiral have given us the weekend off, I asked, and he said that you were free as well because he is leaving base. But he told me to tell him of your location if you were to leave base."

I was glad for that, because I felt a little bit vulnerable. I took the burrito and had a bite, "Thank you, I'm starving, so where is everyone?"

"All of them are off base. Other than a minimum operational crew, we are the only ones here, they removed your IV when you were sleeping, I offered to stay with you until you were awake."

"Rooster?"

"Your hero was the first to leave, said something about a girl down in San Diego."

That hurt, like really hurt - he didn't even want to see me or check up on me before he left? And there was another girl, and he had taken me out on a date.

Again, I wasn't sure why I cared so much, feelings were annoying. 

"Thank you for staying with me, I think I will be good to stay on base." I was thinking about having time to work on my weapons.

He let out his unarming laugh. "Oh you are not staying on base, I have a house in La Mesa, you are spending the weekend with me."
