    Summary

    Jake and Bradley have been trying to be friends.

    After two flights to Texas, some good honest hard work, and a beer or two they work out that maybe 'friends' isn't what they've been aiming at.

    Summary

    Jake kept on bumping into this guy named, Gramps-- Tom. He was nice to talk to, plus, people did say that he should have a life outside of the Navy, right?

    ---

    Tom didn't know why he kept on bumping into this kid, but he's good (amusing) company, so why not.

    Summary

    Jake never thinks about Bradley as the one that got away.

    That implies that something happened, something beyond control and beyond reason and beyond their best efforts, and it just didn’t work out.

    But Bradley left. So he didn’t get away. He pulled Jake’s heart out of his chest and crushed it on the tarmac after their TOPGUN graduation, and drove away like Jake wasn’t in the rearview.

    That’s all they had. Eight weeks, something like ten years ago, that was it. And they spent more of it bickering than they did doing anything else, besides finding secluded corners and supply closets that locked to steal ten minutes alone in. They fought and argued and competed, and spent every moment they could together in-between. Eight weeks.

    It took less than half of that for Jake to be more than half in love.

    Summary

    Jake drops his phone to his side and looks to Javy, who's gleaming at the prospect of Sarah Seresin’s cooking and a week or so on the ranch.
    “My mother is insisting I invite you all to Texas. Feel free to decline.”

    --

    Or, Jake takes the Daggers home to the family.
