Title: Pictures at Midnight
Pairing/Characters: Tommy/OMC
Rating (Word Count): Rated R
Warning(s): None
Author's notes: This is set a year after It's That Pivotal Moment but all you need to know is Adam and Sauli are together and Tommy is dating an Army Doctor. It could be considered a continuation of last week's prompt but..not really LOL. Thanks to leela_cat for the beta <333



Lying in his bunk, Tommy thumbed the unlock button on his phone, smiling when he saw there was an e-mail from Jase. He looked around to make sure he was alone before clicking it open.

It was a picture of a crystal clear night sky full of stars, constellations he wasn't familiar with.

Midnight in Afghanistan - the caption read.

Tommy blinked, swallowing hard around the sudden lump in his throat. He touched the picture with his fingertip, tracing lightly over the night sky, before reading the rest of the e-mail.

Beautiful, but lonely here without you. Miss you, Jase

^v^

He leaned out of his bunk, taking a picture of the darkened bus, capturing Ashley's arm hanging out of her curtain along with Cam's foot dangling out of hers.

Tommy re-opened his e-mail and typed out a quick response, pasting in his picture with its own caption.

Midnight on a Tour Bus

He hit Send, thumbing his phone off, staring out into the darkness. He liked these late night e-mail sessions, both of them logging on at midnight their local time.

Midnight was magical. It felt like a secret only he and Jase shared, even if they weren't physically together.


The End
