I do not own anything that you recognize.

Mouse gazes down at his omegas sleeping form, pure love and adoration in his eyes. Mouse would do anything for Jay, had proved it over and over again.

"Stop staring at me, Fafa." Jay mumbles

"You have to tell me how you do that." Mouse says with a laugh.

"Do what?" The omega says looking up at his alpha.

"Knowing when people are looking at you." Mouse says

"Shut up." He mumbles.

"When did you wake up?" Mouse asks, not noticing the change in his mates breathing.

"Sometime between you hanging up and me telling you to stop staring at me." He says. Mouse rolls his eyes

"Well, yeah, so are you still tired or do you wanna get something to eat?" Mouse asks

"Shower?" The omega asks

"How about a warm bath." Mouse says, Jay nods and gets up off of Mouse and stretches. Mouse gets out of the bed and starts the bath. He walks back into the bedroom.

"Come on Hawk (hint/clue #1)."

"Coming." Jay gets up and walks over to his alpha and pulls him into a kiss.

"Mhmm, missed you." Mouse murmurs

"Love you." Jay murmurs then pulls away.

"Come on love." Mouse says and pulls his mate into the bathroom. Mouse hooks his phone up to the speaker and starts music on shuffle. Jay closes his eyes and lets Mouse take his clothes off. Jay climbs into the bath and Mouse gets in behind him.

"Do you remember our first kiss?" Jay asks sleepily, turning in the water so he's curled into Mouse's side, rubbing his nose into his mates neck. Mouse wraps one of his arms around his omega and the other comes up to run through Jay's hair.

"Of course I do, how could I forget it." Mouse says with a smile.

"Tell me?" Jay asks

"Of course." Mouse says

"Thanks." Jay sighs and nuzzles closer.

"We were thirteen. We had just come back from the Tempest mission and we were both done with people asking us questions so we headed out of the base and onto the grassy plain. We walked around the plains for hours before lying down on a cliff overlooking the ocean. We laid there talking for a while watching the sun set, talking about anything and everything. The sun had finally set and you started shivering. I wrapped my arm around you and pulled you closer to me and you accepted it. After a few minutes you flipped us over and cuddled even further into me. As we looked up at the stars you asked me what I saw in the sky and we started pointing out things we saw in the stars. One time you said that you saw a clown and we both burst out laughing because you hate clowns. We ended up facing each other and I have no idea why I thought it was a good idea to pull you closer and kiss you, but I'm glad I did. We pulled apart and you said…"

"Finally." Jay interrupts

"Yeah, I just smiled and wrapped my arms around you and held you close for the night, cuddling and kissing until sunrise." Mouse finishes.

"That was a good night." Jay sighs

"One of the best." Mouse agrees.

"Remember the night we met?" Jay asks

"Like it was yesterday." Mouse says

"I always wonder what my life would have been like if I hadn't missed the jump onto the train." Jay says.

"I for one am glad that you missed the train, because otherwise we wouldn't have met, you wouldn't have saved the rest of us from our families and ourselves." Mouse reasons

"I guess." Jay sighs again

"Where were you planning on going anyway?" Mouse asks.

"I honestly have no idea, maybe the circus (hint/clue #2)." Jay says

"I would have paid to see that, but this is a hundred times better anyway." Mouse says.

"I'll agree with that." Jay says.

"Remember all the good times we had with the others all around the world." Mouse says

"Yeah, personal favorite, the way we would always prank the Marines and they never saw it coming and never figured out who did it, yours?" Jay says

"The way you would always find the highest vantage point in the base and stay there in the shadows watching the soldiers below you go about their day." Mouse says.

"You always say that." Jay laughs

"It's funny, the reactions of the soldiers when they finally spot you are priceless." Mouse says

"What can I say, I see better from a distance (hint/clue #3), and I like the shadows, you can't be seen, you can't be shot." Jay says

"And you wonder why some people call you Shadow." Mouse says with a chuckle.

"I do make a point though, they are good cover." Jay says

"It's a good point, but why would you need cover in a military base, baby." Mouse asks

"RPG attack?" Jay says

"A base in the US?" Mouse says.

"Fine." Jay surrenders with a short chuckle.

"Good." Mouse says and grabs a washcloth, and starts to massage Jay's back and stomach. Jay sighs and starts to purr as he lets his alpha take care of him.

"When we were young we were the ones, the kings and queens, oh yeah, we ruled the world. We smoked cigarettes and had no regrets. Wish I could relive every single word." Mouse sings softly as the song floats through the room.

"We've taken different paths, and travelled different roads, I know we'll always end up on the same one when we're old, and when you're in the trenches, and you're under fire I will cover you." Jay sings, his head resting on Mouse's shoulder, eyes still closed.

"If I was dying on my knees, you would be the one to rescue me, and if you were drowned at sea, I'd give you my lungs so you could breathe. I've got you brother, I've got you brother, I've got you brother, I've got you brother." They sing together

"Oh brother, we'll go deeper than the ink, beneath the skin of our tattoos, though we don't share the same blood, your my brother and I love you that's the truth." Jay sings

"We're living different lives, heaven only knows, If we'll make it back with all our fingers and our toes, 5 years, 20 years, come back, it will always be the same"

"If I was dying on my knees, you would be the one to rescue me, and if you drowned at sea, I would give you my lungs so you could breathe. I've got you brother, I've got you brother."

"And if we hit on troubled water, I'll be the one to keep you warm and safe, And we'll be carrying each other, until we say goodbye on our dying day."

"Because I've got you brother, I've got you brother, I've got you brother, I've got you brother."

"If I was dying on my knees, you would be the one to rescue me, and if you were drowned at sea, I would give you my lungs so you could breathe."

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, I've got you brother, I've got you brother.
