Summary
One of the perks of being raised in California is that, maybe, you will have inherited a beach house by the time you are 36. Bradley certainly has, way, way back. The drawbacks, on the other hand, are plenty but it’s not what Bradley is thinking about right now - not when Jake is visibly hurt.
“You know, if you wanted five minutes of alone time with me, you could’ve just asked. Didn't have to step on glass.”
or: bradley and jake helping each other out, over and over again

Summary
Jake’s warm like a lifeline and bright like a lighthouse, and Bradley knows it’s unfair to steal his warmth, put his clumsy hands on Jake’s waist and tug. Yet, he can’t help being selfish this once, just like he couldn’t help it the last time and the time before that.

Summary
Apparently, surviving a suicide mission by the skin of your teeth not only takes a physical and emotional toll on you, but can also give you insomnia.
There’s the feeling of restlessness pulling at Bradley’s chest, making it more difficult to breathe, and if there’s one medicine to it, Bradley knows where to find it.
or: bradley can't sleep. jake soothes him.

Summary
Bradley’s heavy boots thud on their wooden hallway floor and Jake’s heartbeat synchronizes with the sound. He’s waited all day. He can take a couple more seconds, he tells himself.
But then again, maybe he can’t. Maybe he can’t because Bradley’s in his uniform and it hugs his body perfectly, like it’s second skin. It’s loose in all the right places and tight where Jake likes the most, stretching over his bicep when he raises his hand to sweep the curls off his forehead.

Summary
Jake grits his teeth. He knows him like the back of his hand, can see right through Bradshaw’s bullshit. He has not changed a tad since they last saw each other.
or: the mortifying ordeal of knowing and being known, hangster’s version

Summary
“It’ll be nice,” Bradley says firmly, like he’s just decided, is speaking it into existence. “Being in San Diego again. Maybe I can finally pull my bike out of storage.”
Nat pauses halfway to drowning the last, lukewarm mouthful of her beer.
“Bike like… motorcycle?” she asks.
“No, Nat,” Bradley says dryly. “A tandem. Yeah, like a motorcycle.”
or; five times someone finds out Bradley rides a motorcycle, and one time someone already knew.

Summary
Jake sees a flash of movement out of the corner of his eye. There’s a creature watching them from the waves.
It’s a seal, he quickly realizes. Big and bulky, fully adult. Coarse brown fur, huge black eyes, slick pelt. The seal is staring directly at Jake, something baleful and almost challenging in its manner. Now that he thinks about it, he’s certain he’s seen this same seal patrolling the waters around the island or sunbathing lazily on the black rocks.
It has a distinctive, recognizable whisker pattern: prominent and bushy, like a particularly bad mustache.

Summary
“Babe,” Jake says, leaning through the doorway. “What are you doing?”
Bradley keeps his eyes on the glowing computer screen, “The Taxes.” He sighs in response.
Jake walks over, placing the new flowers onto the desk over Bradley’s shoulder and peeks at the spreadsheet and neatly stacked papers on the big oak desk.
“B, it’s September.”
“Exactly. Quarters up, honey,” Bradley says with a little shrug, jotting down something in the next row.
The least sexy thing in the world? Taxes. At least thats what everyone says. Jake has to disagree.

Summary
When new teammates, Jake and Bradley, agree to pretend they’re in a committed relationship to land a sponsorship deal, they probably should have factored in the possibility they might fall for their own lies.

Summary
Jake takes advantage of some rare alone time on a carrier. It doesn't quite go how he expects.
