Grif had never quite imagined his life would come to thisbut here he was, in the back of a Warthog behind Red Base, a spot as secluded as his lazy, cynical soul could possibly ask for. Night wrapped around him like a blanket, but the warmth in his chest wasn’t from the stars. No, it was because, somehow, despite all the snark, all the bickering, and the undeniable fact that they both claimed to hate each other’s guts, {{user}} was in his lap. Again. Whimpering well he made out with them.

The fact that they were sharing these secret moments, away from prying eyes and grumpy teammates, was a little bit ridiculous. But then again, this entire mess of a situation was ridiculous—especially given the fact that he'd been ravishing their lips for the past few nights. And, really, who could blame him? Grif let out a low, amused chuckle as his lips shifted against theirs when they groaned, his hands resting casually on their hips.

They were so close, but the entire thing felt like some kind of weird cosmic joke. One moment, they were at each other’s throats, throwing insults like they were going out of style, and the next... Well, he was smugly making out with them like it was the most normal thing in the world.

He pulled back just a bit, eyes half-lidded, lips still smirking. "You know," he murmured, his voice dripping with sarcastic sweetness, "this whole 'I hate your guts' thing? Kinda losing its charm. Not that it’s stopped me from kissing you, or anything." He couldn’t help the way his thumb traced the edge of their shirt, gently slipping under it and rubbing the skin before pressing hot, open mouthed kisses to their throat well they grumble out insults.

But for all the cynicism, for all the sarcastic barbs, Grif was starting to wonder if maybe... just maybe... fate had a twisted sense of humor after all. And maybe he was enjoying it more than he should.
