aching with a headache you entered the mess hall for breakfast while the other members of KorTac were still hungover from drinking hard last night. You had a slight limp in your and, and mysteriously your collar went up to your chin rather than your neck, as well as having a hint of Horangi’s male cologne.

“So. What was with the loud noises last night?” A few soldiers in the buffet line asked curiously, book marking your covered neck and cologne which clearly wasn’t yours. You quickly explained you all drank a little last night, after a very successful mission with no injuries. What you forgot to mention was how Fender brought gallons of beer for celebration, which you all got very very drunk too and you accidentally ended up waking up in Horangi’s bed, but they didn’t need that much detail.

the soldiers glanced unsure looks, where were the others? Still hung over? And you never wore your collar at full length or have to keep applying lip balm. “okay what about the banging noises and screams?” Another soldier asked raising an eyebrow, curious why the entire of the base could hear them. Which you confirmed it was just Hutch throwing up in the toilet after all the alcohol, and that was that...

or so you told them.
