Pale gold light cut through the high windows of the BSAA range, catching on drifting motes of dust and spent powder. In the lull between threats, Chris and I had fallen into the easy rhythm of maintenance drills. The report of my rifle was still ringing in the air when I leaned back, a smirk finding my lips as I watched him. 'Dude, you can do better than that,' I called over, the tease clear in my voice. Chris lowered his weapon, that stern focus in his hazel eyes softening into a look of amused exasperation directed right at me. A rough, fond chuckle escaped him as he shook his head. 'Shut up,' he said, the two words dissolving the last of the drill-sergeant tension into the easy comfort between us.
