The barbecue was quite enjoyable. Sean and Andrew were chatting and drinking beer. Hawkins was still used to silence, but if Sean asked him anything, he didn't answer any confusing answers.

When cleaning up the mess, the sky became overcast, and soon it began to rain heavily.They hurried back to the house without bothering to pack the grill and beer bottles.

Immediately afterwards, there was lightning and thunder, and the wooden windows were rattled.

"My mother, it's really in time for that field exercise!" Andrew sighed.

"What field exercise?" Sean asked.

Andrew turned his head in surprise, "You don't remember? After that field exercise, you were drenched and had a fever!"

Xiao En was taken aback for a moment, and then he said embarrassedly: "I bumped my head that time, and I can't remember many things."

Andrew didn't speak, just continued to stare at the pouring rain outside.

Hawkins said, "Light the fireplace."

Only then did Andrew and Sean come back to their senses, and began to fiddle with the fireplace in the living room.

With the fire, the whole room is much warmer.

Sean made a phone call back to Aunt Macy, who told him to keep warm at night, as the rain might last until tomorrow night.

At night, Sean rolled up in the blanket. Although he didn't feel very cold, he always felt that the sound of the dripping rain outside made him feel that something was missing.

The door was opened, and although the man's footsteps were light, Sean could still tell that it was Hawkins.

"What's the matter?" Sean propped up his upper body, and the other party sat beside him, pulling the blanket over to cover the two of them.

Sean was surrounded by him, and there was each other's breath between the two.

"It's nothing, I want to hug you."

Sean didn't push him away, he just turned sideways and hugged him.Sean thought, maybe he subconsciously longed for Hawkins' arrival just now.

The other party kissed Xiao En's brows and eyes, without a breath of lust, but purely seemed to express a certain feeling in his heart.Sean also kissed the other person's chin, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

"Hmm." Hawkins murmured, and the two embraced each other and fell asleep.

At that moment, Sean found that what he lacked seemed complete.

I don't know when the pouring rain turned into light rain.

Andrew prepared breakfast downstairs, and then came to Sean's room. He was about to reach out and knock on the door, but he stopped, remembering that he hadn't seen Sean sleeping for a long time.

He still remembered that when he and Sean were in the same company, there was a field training, and the two of them were assigned to ambush a certain target.Before the target appears, they always take turns to follow.When it was Sean's turn to rest, he would close his eyes and lie on his stomach in the lurking spot, still holding the gun with both hands, but his chin was in the mud.He looked very quiet with his eyes closed, and he didn't even realize that there were fallen leaves brushing off his eyelashes.

Andrew felt palpitations at that moment, unable to stare at Sean by himself, and it took him a few seconds to realize that his target should be ahead.

At this moment, he held the doorknob with his hand and carefully pushed the door open.

When he saw the two people hugging each other on the bed, all his thoughts seemed to be firmly pinched, he couldn't think about it, and he couldn't control his body anymore.

He froze there for a long time.

Sean fell asleep as calmly as ever, but Andrew suddenly wondered, is this calm because of Hawkins lying beside him?

It took all of Andrew's strength to close the door without waking them both up.

He walked slowly to the door of the cabin, and the wooden wind chimes on the eaves crackled.

He lit a cigarette for himself and smoked against the wall.

The air smells of humidity.

He said to himself, laugh at Andrew, it’s no big deal.

Taking a breath, as the smoke rings lingered in the damp and cold air, the line of Andrew's lips parted in an indifferent arc.

If he's what you want, then I'll have to content myself with just looking at you.

Although this is a bit wronged.

At this time, Sean came down from upstairs in his pajamas, looking half asleep, "Andrew, you're already up!"

"Yes," Andrew turned around and shook the cigarette in his hand, "There is breakfast on the table, you can eat it."

Sean pulled out the chair and sat at the table, "Hey, Andrew... I can't see that you have a good handiwork."

Andrew still looked at the drizzle, "You can eat as long as you like. If one day you find that the food made by Hawkins is unpalatable, remember to come to me."

Sean froze for a moment, and it took a few seconds for him to understand the meaning of Andrew's words.

"Thank you, no one will make a better sandwich than you."

As long as no one has crossed that line, they will always be friends, without those redundant complex emotions, and they will treat each other with sincerity and honesty.

After the rain stopped, the three packed their things and drove back to downtown Washington.

Although the hunting and barbecue this time were spoiled by the rain, Sean felt that he had gained a lot, especially being able to get along with Andrew without any grievances.

An old song was playing in the car, Andrew hummed along with it softly at first, and then Sean also sang along with great interest.The two of them sang louder and louder. In the climax part, Andrew put his hand on Sean's shoulder, and Sean also sang with his head up.

The voices of the two completely overwhelmed the original singer.

At this time, Hawkins in the back seat finally spoke: "It's not safe to drive like this."

After his serious reminder, Andrew and Sean laughed loudly.

"As expected of Hawkins!" Sean turned his head and gave him a meaningful look.

"Don't you think it's funny to make him angry?" Andrew said in Hawkins' voice. "It's not safe to drive like that."

Then Sean laughed again.

"Hey, Howkins...don't be so serious, otherwise no one will be able to bear you after Sean abandons you." Andrew fiddled with the rearview mirror on the top of the driver's head, looking halfway at Hawkins' face. jokingly said.

Hawkins frowned first, then understood the meaning of his words, and said softly: "Thank you for your reminder, but he won't have a day to leave."

"Sure enough, it's the conceited Hawkins!" Andrew and Sean said in unison.

Back in Washington, Andrew only stayed one more afternoon before leaving.Aunt Macy was very reluctant to part with him, and asked him to visit them again when he was on vacation.

After Andrew and Sean hugged, they also extended their hands to Hawkins.

"Goodbye, Howkins."

"Goodbye, Andrew."

Sean watched him at the door until he could no longer see the taxi before returning to the room.

"He was a trustworthy friend," Hawkins said.

Xiao En folded his arms a little funny: "You two met each other two days ago and you were full of gunpowder. It seems that apart from women, men are also difficult creatures."

"Sean—there's no more cheese, can you go out and buy some?" Aunt Macy's voice came from the kitchen.

"Okay." Sean glanced at Hawkins, "Shall we go together?"

"of course."

The two came to a nearby supermarket. After choosing some cheese and beer, they came to the checkout counter.

"Sean, didn't you go on a trip? When did you return to Washington?" A young man in front heard the voices of the two of them talking and turned around. It turned out to be Eric Kooler.

"Eric! Oh, I'm sorry, I promised to call you when I got back."

"Well, I've been very busy recently, and I don't have much time to think about you." Eric deliberately put away his smile and pretended to be indifferent.

"Okay, Mr. Translator, when are you not busy, come to my place for a cup of afternoon tea?" Sean laughed.

Eric noticed Hawkins behind him, he was taken aback for a moment and pulled Sean over: "Why is Hawkins with you?"

"...he came to see me."

"Oh, I can't imagine that Hawkins, who has always been cold, would care about his teammates, or... Sean, you are special?" Eric said half-jokingly.

At this moment, he had already calculated the price of the things he bought, picked up the bag, Eric turned around and smiled at Sean, "So tomorrow is the weekend, if I come to visit, will there be delicious refreshments?"

"Of course." Sean laughed.

Hawkins looked at Eric's back and asked, "Isn't he the translator when he was in Baghdad?"

"Yeah, it's really rare that you remember his name." Sean said while paying the bill, "Can't you tell, the Kuhler family owns an international trading company, and in order to better manage the company, he has learned the languages ​​of many countries. He seems to have an older brother, I heard that his older brother was also a soldier, and his legs were blown off somewhere in Afghanistan.”

When the weekend came, Aunt Macy heard that Sean's friends would come and prepared a table of desserts.She is a cheerful woman who likes to watch a group of young people enjoy the dim sum she makes.

When Eric came, he also brought a large bouquet of flowers and a few nice words, which made Aunt Macy laugh constantly.

"Oh, I never dreamed that I would have afternoon tea with Haven Hawkins." Eric winked at Sean.

Sean also smiled, and said in a low voice: "I never dreamed that I could endure this guy until now..."

"What?" Eric poked his head.

Sean noticed that Hawkins was staring at him, and it seemed that he heard that sentence clearly. Be careful, this guy is very "revengeful", and he might not be safe tonight.

"it's okay no problem!"

Aunt Macy came over and came to Eric: "Dear Mr. Cooler, do you like black tea, milk tea or coffee?"

"black tea."

Macy looked at Hawkins and smiled, "Dear Haven, I know you like coffee better."

"Wait, aunt, what did you call him just now? Haven? Dear Haven?" Sean's eyes widened, knowing that he and Hawkins had done everything together, and had never called each other anything "Dear Haven".
