Chapter 4: Just Friends
-A month later-
-Cahill's Office-
"So you are still hanging out with Hunter?" She asked him.
"Yeah." Martin said and kinda knew where this was going.
"So, what do you two do?" She asked him again.
"Watch movie, play cards, go to dinner, mostly we talk." He told her.
"Really, what about?"
"Just normal things, and he asks me if I have any ideas for his book or if the idea he has is okay. Stuff like that."
"Is there any physical…"
"No Doc." He rolled his eyes. "God I wish that you and Rog would stop with that. We are just friends." He added.
"So Murtaugh thinks that there is something more?" She asked him. She was not going to say but she thought so too.
"Yes, he thinks that Hunter is in love with me." He said.
"What do you think?" He looked at Cahill.
"I think, that we are friends and nothing else." He sighed he was starting to get a little mad.
"What if he is in love with you? Riggs you have to think about that."
"If he is then let him. I don't care." He said letting the anger in his voice show.
"Why are you getting mad?"
"Because I am tired of have this talking about him might or is in love with me."
"But what if his is? And what if he wants to know if you love him or is willing to be with him." She asked him/ told him this.
"I will deal with it when or if it comes up." He told her and stood up. He was about to walk out when she said.
"Are you in love with him?" Riggs said nothing and walked out.
-With Riggs-
He walked over to his desk and was getting his stuff together. Roger walked over to him and Riggs looked over at him. He knew that it was coming.
"Do you want to come over tonight and watch the game with me and RJ?" He asked him.
"Can't, going over to Hunter's to pick him up and then we are going out to eat." He said waiting to hear it again.
"Like date?" And there it was. He sighed and looked at Roger.
"No, we are going to a sports bar and he is going to run some idea off of me for his new book." He said and started to walk to the elevators. Roger was right behind him. The doors opened and Riggs stepped in and so did Roger.
"He is in love with you." Roger said this again.
"Oh my god will you quiet with this!" Riggs yelled out. Roger looked over at him.
"You need to…"
"No you need to let this shit go. If he is or not then I don't care."
"Okay what if he is and asked you out and you say no and then he does something to himself. You will feel bad for it and then you might do something as well." Roger kind of yelled out. Riggs turned to look at him.
"That is not going to happen." He said in a strong voice. Roger turned and looked at him.
"And what if it does? I am worried about you two. That something might happen to one of you." Roger said this in a worried tone.
"Rog, everything is fine. Now can you stop acting like a jealous teenager and let me hangout with who I want." Roger moved his head back.
"What?" He asked him
"You heard me, and besides just yesterday you said that you and RJ don't spend the much time together and this is y'all chance to."
"I am not jealous." Roger told him.
"Really? Cause you act like it." Riggs told him. Roger was about to say something else but Riggs cut him off. "Look Rog, I'm not replacing you okay. You are still my best friend and I love you as a brother, but let me live my own life. And if Hunter asks me out then I will tell him the truth." The doors opened and Riggs walked out and left Roger standing there shocked at what he had just told him.
-Later-
"He what?" Hunter asked and looked over at Martin. They were in Martin's truck going to the spots bar.
"Yeah, Rog and Cahill think that we are dating and that you are in love with me." Martin told him.
"We are friends." Hunter said.
"I know."
They got to the sports bar and walked in. They were shown to their table and they ordered their food. Hunter started to run ideas by Martin. Martin would tell him if they were good or not. Then he would run some idea by Hunter. They laughed and told stories. Martin tell him a story about the time that he grabbed a live electric fence.
"Why did you do that?" Hunter asked him.
"I shot a deer and it ran into it and then jumped over. So I just thought that I was just a fence." He told him and started to laugh. Hunter laughed at Martin's story.
"So I walked over and put my hand on it and it lit me up like a Christmas tree." He laughed.
"But the worst part was that well my buddy Jake was laughing so hard that he almost passed out, but Molly knew that it was a live fence."
"No."
"Yes, it was her father's fence." Hunter laughed even more.
"Didn't you hear the buzzing noise?" He asked the older man.
"Yeah." He laughed. "Me and Jake asked each other what that noise was." He laughed more.
"I now know what that noise around a fence means." He finished. Hunter laughed and wiped the tears out of his eyes.
"I have to say, I have open up more to you then I have to Cahill or Rog." Martin admitted. Hunter smiled at him, and he smiled at Hunter.
