“We’re going to die!” The soldier was freaking out. He paced in the tiny room, banging on the walls. “The aliens took the captain and the pilot and they’re going to kill us when they come back!”

The other soldier sighed. “We’ve been in worse,” he said simply.

“No we haven’t! We’ve never been in anything like this!”

“Just calm down, Cal,” the man said, putting his hands on the frantic man’s shoulders. “We’re going to be fine. Just remember your training.”

Cal breathed deeply, attempting to calm himself. He ran his hand over his head, wiping the sweat out of his short blonde hair. He turned to face the other man and said, “You always were the cool one, Ben.”

Ben nodded. He let his dark hair fall over his face. He had remained quiet during their captain’s ordeal but something about it made him uneasy.

“You know something,” Ben said as casually as he could. “When the captain was being,” he paused, leaving the rest unspoken.

“I was getting turned on,” Cal said. “I’m sorry, but seeing her fuck those monsters just did something to me.”

“I had such a hard on!” Ben exclaimed, relieved to find out he was not the only one turned on by the show. “I could fuck a horse!”

Cal laughed, “I hope it doesn’t come to that!”

Ben smiled, the tension easing for a moment. He sat down on the floor of the bare cell, resting his arms on his knees.

Cal put his hand on his friend’s arm and said, “Ben, if we are going to die, or worse, I want you to know how I feel.”

Ben looked into the other man’s eyes, “You’re in love with me?” he exclaimed. “Pervert!”

Cal stepped away, shocked and ashamed.
