Summary: A short 8 page story about a commanding officer and a disobedient fighter pilot's concerns regarding death in combat.

My comments: I had this on my TBR because it's by the author of Brave 10 and I was desperate for more of her male/male dynamics. I didn't realize this was going to give me heart palpitations.

The characters are fighter jet pilots. Toudou is the commanding officer, he's a rough guy. Trine seems more laid-back. He writes his last rites basically on his jet and Toudou gets mad seemingly because it's against the rules but it's way more about the idea of losing Toudou, because he wouldn't make it through if he died. I get the feeling they weren't together before, but this was Toudou's way of confessing by bringing up 'lover's suicide' and Trine responding with the kiss.

I was so worried it would end with a sad page geeze my heart.
