actually flinched. He looked at the watch on his wrist and wondered who it could be. It
was only three in the afternoon.
Patrick went and answered it. He came back in with Mark following him.
I brought the hairdresser. Patrick smirked.
Jesus...ya'll are insane, Ryan bitched as he stepped out of his pants. He
grabbed the slacks Kenneth was holding only to have a pair of boxers shoved under his
nose.
Change them, Brendon ordered.

I'm not takin& .Kenneth what the fuck are you doing? Ryan jerked forward
when Kenneth pulled his boxers down.
There, we ve all seen your cock - it's lovely. Now change your fucking
underwear, Kenneth told him.
Mark chuckled. Aww, Ryan. You're gonna look bootiful. He cackled when
Ryan blushed and flipped him off. Do you know I think you're the only man I know
who thinks flipping someone off is actually like saying hello.
Yeah, fuck you too, Mark, Ryan said, smirking. He jerked his clean underwear
from Brendon and slipped them on. I should just kick you all out.
Ryan, you should remember that I'm gonna be the one with a pair of clippers,
Mark murmured as he slipped his arm around his boyfriend.
347
But we have your best interests at heart, Brendon pouted. Ryan blinked and
couldn't believe it-- for a moment he saw the old Brendon in there.
Fine. He grumbled and grabbed the slacks. He put them on and buttoned
them, only to have Kenneth hand him a belt.
Go get your hair cut so you won't look like a woolly mammoth, Patrick said.
He followed Mark into his bathroom and sat down on the stool. You don't
have to do this.
Yeah, I do. Patrick threatened to cut me off. Dude, I'm not missing out on any
sex just for you, Mark said, grinning. I cut his hair all the time. Get those specs off.
Mark smiled the whole time and had his hair cut in ten minutes. It looked good.
Why am I paying four bucks for a haircut when you can do it for free?

You never asked, Mark said as he cleaned his equipment. He thought about
you all the time, you know.
Pardon?
Phillip. He used to wonder about you. He even ran a search on you after you
left Basic. When he heard that guy got killed from your unit he freaked out a little bit.
Ryan didn't know what to say. Well, he did, but it seemed stupid so instead he
just nodded. Phillip had looked for him. He had freaked out a bit when he thought that
Ryan had gotten killed.
He never got attached to anyone before or after you. He's the most professional
soldier I have ever served with. So if you're thinking he picked a boy out any other time,
you would be really wrong. I don't know what it was about you, but he really cares.
Mark said it offhandedly. He continued cleaning the clippers. I'm just telling you this
so you know. If you hurt him, Ryan, as much as I care for you I will fuck you up.
349
The way Mark said it Ryan believed him. He cleared his throat and nodded.
So if this isn't what you want, you tell him now before it gets out of hand.
Ryan nodded again and wondered what he did want. He had looked for Phillip
too. He actually would ask about Phillip when he talked to Patrick, in a roundabout
way.
He walked back into his bedroom, happy that the other three had gotten bored
and vacated it. He slipped on the shirt that Brendon had picked out. He noticed a pair
of boots sitting beside his bed and figured that they had been picked out for him as well.
He sighed and put them on. Having those three guys was worse than having a sister.
And Mac could be a pain in the ass when she felt like it.
When he strolled into the living room he turned around and walked right back
out.

Phillip is going to have a fit when he sees Ryan's apartment. He's somewhat of
a clean freak, Mark was saying.
It's a pig sty, Brendon agreed.
Doesn't look that bad to me, Patrick offered.
That's because you both have the same decorator. Mark rolled his eyes.
Hell. Kenneth sighed.
Ryan heard the sound of shit being thrown out onto his patio; Mark grumbling
that he d just made an observation; and Patrick telling Mark to get his ass in gear. They
had fifteen minutes before Phillip got there.
351
Ryan sighed for the millionth time and walked back into the room. Alright,
knock it off. If he doesn't want to see me because of my lack of housekeeping skills,
then so what?
Dude, you have spent the last five years pining after the guy, Brendon argued.
Yeah, and asking me to ask Mark how he was doing, Patrick reminded him.
You always sigh when his name is mentioned, Kenneth added.
I never asked you to ask Mark how he was doing, Ryan rebutted, glaring at
Patrick.
Not in so many words. But, dude when you ask 'So how is Grabowski doing?' I
figure you want to know, so I d ask Mark, Patrick said, grinning. And you were bitchy
