Imagine Medic and Kaz almost getting caught. Like, they’re just cuddling in bed or something and Big Boss comes (because I can’t really see him bothering to knock on Kaz’s door). Medic barely has time to dive under the bed before he sees him, and then has to stay silent while listening to Kaz getting fucked through the mattress

They both know Kaz’s quarters aren’t safe, so they don’t typically… fraternize there. Sometimes they’ll sneak into an empty room on the medical platform, or Medic’s own room because he’s Mother Base’s attending physician/chief of staff so he actually gets his own quarters and it’s pretty much their safe place. =D

Kaz totally loves the thrill of possibly getting caught though, so sometimes they’ll fool around in places where they might be found out. BB actually even catches Medic edging a naked Kaz in Kaz’s quarters once, but medic is a smooth motherfucker, keeps a totally straight face and plays it off like Kaz had an embarrassing medical problem and preferred to be seen in the privacy of his own quarters and BB doesn’t even question it. He actually thanks Medic for being so sympathetic to Kaz’s need for discretion and commends him on his impeccable bedside manner, and Kaz nearly explodes from suppressed laughter.

Additionally, because Medic is kind of a savage when he needs to be, any time he’s had to hide at the last minute and listen to BB get a little too rough for comfort with Kaz, or ignoring Kaz’s safeword/no, he later gives BB a run for his money during training sessions, CQCs the living fuck out of him and regularly gives BB the beating of a lifetime when they’re sparring on the beach. BB totally admires having such a competent soldier (He was always the best man we had), has no idea it’s secret revenge, just kinda grunts and takes it when Medic is a little too rough for comfort when patching him up afterwards.

(Kaz regularly jerks off to memories of Medic beating the crap out of BB)

Okay so Boss can be pretty unobservant, but do you think anyone else at MSF guessed about Kaz and Medic? Is there a base-wide rumour mill and betting pool? Bets on how obvious they’ll have to be for Boss to figure it out, when he’ll find out, how many things will get broken when he does… Secret shipping wars, medic/commander vs boss/commander and Medic treating injuries from the fights that keep breaking out over it?

A few of the soldiers on the medical platform notice the commander coming around way more than he needs to and they figure it out, but it’s kind of a small circuit of people who know, and they’re pretty discreet about it since they just assume something’s happening but never have it confirmed. They just kinda smile and roll their eyes at them, or they start feeling really awkward and try to stay out of it, so there’s not a whole lot of gossip. It’s kind of like a Jim/Pam situation almost, except without the unrequited torture. =D AND LIKE THERE’S ONE PERSON WHO IS TOTALLY IN ON IT who is very important to the story that I haven’t written yet, but I’M NOT GIVING ANYTHING AWAY.

I can totally see that happening though, especially since some people might be petty and vindictive and threaten to out them to BB, so medic placates them by being a good sport and taking extra care of their injuries and negotiating with them (and by ‘negotiating’ I mean giving them that Korean War murderdeath stare and asking with a very low, threatening tone of voice if he can count on their discretion) right as he resets a broken bone or something. Not that he’d ever genuinely hurt them, but just making it known that he could.
