Rating (Word Count): R, (2x100)
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 the last two weeks' prompts but..not really LOL. Thanks to leela_cat for the beta <333 Title is from Johnny Cash's Song "Hurt"



Tommy lay in his bunk trying not to listen to the chatter just outside the curtain. Everyone was still riding the high from the show. He wanted to join in, but the big gnawing ache inside him made it impossible.

Nothing had happened. Today wasn't special. It wasn't a holiday, an anniversary, or even a birthday. He just missed Jase so much that it was a physical ache. Jase had been in the desert for almost five months with no end in sight.

Tommy sighed, thumbing his phone on, stroking his finger over the picture of them.

"I miss you."

^v^

It didn't hurt this bad every day. Most days were fine. Then something would happen and suddenly Tommy was missing Jase. Today, it was Sauli. Not that he begrudged Adam time with Sauli, but it still hurt to watch them together while Jase was in a combat zone and Tommy was here alone, worrying.

His phone rang, startling him. He answered without looking.

"Hey, Rockstar."

His heart pounded. His throat clogged with emotion. A thousand things to say ran through his mind. A slow smile spread across his face, the weight lifting off his chest.

"Hey, Doc."

"Miss me?"

"Always."
