Why this must be read:

hackthis is fantastic at writing a broken Brad and here we see that in spades. Brad returns home from the Royal Marines and wants, so much, but he just can't put himself out there. It's a great portrait of Brad and all his insecurities, even as he's - on the surface - the badass we know and love. And it's an insightful look at Nate, too, who doesn't take any of Brad's shit.

He's tried to tell Nate that he's coming back to the states. He's tried to say that if Nate wants… maybe he could…maybe they could.

He never quite gets the words out.
