Title: But If You Have To Leave
Pairing/Characters: Tommy/Jase (OMC), Adam/Sauli
Rating (Word Count): R (3x100)
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 seven weeks' prompts but..not really LOL. Thanks to leela_cat for the beta <333



But if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave.

His heart aching, Tommy ripped off his headphones and threw them across the room in disgust, barely missing Sauli who had just come downstairs.

"Hei, muru. Missing your siippa?" he asked sympathetically, picking up the headphones and sitting next to Tommy on the couch.

"No," Tommy answered stubbornly, laying his head on Sauli's shoulder.

"Hmm, what is it you Americans say? Actions say more than words?"

"Actions speak louder than words."

"Yes, that's it. It's okay to miss him," Sauli said, slipping his arm around Tommy's shoulders.

^v^

"Don't miss him," Tommy argued as Sauli's hold on his shoulders tightened.

"If you say so. Why throw your headphones then?"

"Fucking Evanescence, who put that shit on there?" Tommy grumbled.

Sauli brightened. "Oh I like them."

Tommy just glared at him.

"Maybe Jase did?"

"Maybe." Tommy sighed.

"Movie?"

"No fucking dramas."

"Ok, muru, horror it is." Sauli stood up to put in a dvd.

When he came back, Tommy pushed into his side again, and Sauli wrapped his arm around him. Adam found them asleep when he came back from his interviews, Jase's dog tags clutched in Tommy's hand.

^v^

Adam gently shook Sauli awake who immediately put a finger to his lips. Adam just quirked his eyebrow. Sauli slowly eased himself away from Tommy and Adam helped him lay Tommy down on the couch. They covered him with a blanket and made their way up to Adam's bedroom.

"Missing Jase?"

Sauli nodded. "Said he wasn't."

"Right. I saw the dog tags in his hands. He misses him. It was hard to have him here for three days and then have him leave again."

"But still good."

"Yeah, the look on his face," Adam mused.

"Actions speak louder than words."
