"Where the FUCK have you BEEN?"
_______________________________________________________________________________

As there was no possibility of looking for Lee again that night,
he had allowed himself to be led into a drunken state by Trevor who
bought the rest of those staying at the hotel into the celebration as
well. There were lots of slaps on the back, lots of strangers saying all
sorts of nice things and the main man getting more and more pissed. In
the end Tommy forgot what it was all about and when eventually someone
got him to his room, fell on his bed and passed out.

The following morning, or to be more precise, just before lunch time he
got to reception to be given a note from Trevor who promised to call him
as soon as he got back to his hospital and he hoped with some good news.
Tommy spent the rest of the day getting over the previous one and for the
first time since he had joined the Army was in fact quite useless to
defend himself let alone anything else. He stayed in his room feeling
sorry for himself and dozing off. He was asleep when his phone rang. It
was Trevor.

"Tommy, Lee is HERE and he is recovering very well, but has had a bad
time, he is very susceptible to the slightest infection it seems. The
nurses are worried though as all he does is sit in his room and stares
out of the window looking for you! I think you should get up here as
quickly as possible. I just know he will be fine when you do. He
constantly asks if we have heard anything about you. You must be very
close." Tommy was concentrating as never before as the tears cascaded
down his face.

"Tommy? You there?" Tommy managed to get himself together.

"I'm leaving now Trevor. Don't tell him i'm coming I just want to go to
his room. Is that ok?"

"I would never say no to a VC, now would I!" Tommy had forgotten he was
one and wondered what Lee would say about it. Hang over now completely
cured Tommy got ready to go to the one person in his life he had been
prepared to give his own for.

It took him all night to get to Ely in Cambridgeshire and when he got to
the hospital Trevor gave him the use of a bathroom to make himself
presentable before going to Lee's room. When he was dressed he went to
Trevor's office.

"Ready Tommy? You certainly look good, now lets get you to Lee. I will go
in and speak to him and when I go I will leave the door open for you."

Trevor smiled at Tommy as he came out of Lee's room and walked off back
to his office. Tommy pushed the door open, stepped inside and quietly
closed it behind him. Lee was sitting down with his back to him looking
out of the window. He stood there for sometime just looking at the back
of Lee's head. He knew his first words would let Lee know who was behind
him.

"Hello, your cuntship!"

Tommy saw him stiffen and very slowly stood up and turn round. They stood
facing one another Lee not believing who he was looking at. He said
Tommy's name over and over again, but nothing came out, just mouthing his
name.

Then, BOOM!

"Where the FUCK have you BEEN?"

They flew into one another's arms and stayed like that for a very
VERY long time. The tears flowed and neither of them could or indeed were
able to stop them. Gradually they parted slightly and just stared at one
another. Tommy lent over and there we will have to leave them for quite
some time as they kissed and were once again back where they would always
be, together.

"I thought you were dead Tommy. I just could not think of anything else
in the end. I had lost all hope. Where the fuck HAVE you been anyway?"

"Looking for you. I thought you were dead as well. It was only luck
meeting Trevor that I found you and you look beautiful by the way. I have
been to every hospital in London hoping you would be in one of them, to
the Records office and even walked round your area in Lewisham. Trust you
to be different and get an RAF one instead." Once again they cuddled
together and you will just have to wait until they finish.

"You look pretty good yourself. BLOODY HELL! You a Major now? What did
you do to get that, fuck Smiffy?"

"Monty promoted me, but before I tell you about anything I need more
kisses." Half hour later they stopped. They sat on the bed and Tommy went
through the whole thing leaving out his particular part and what he had
done to get them out of the attack.

Trevor agreed to discharge Lee when he was told they would be going to
Dorset and Lee could be treated down there, they badly needed the bed
anyway, but Tommy had to phone the hotel first.

"We are full as you know Major and not a room available let alone a bed
and sir, it IS an officers hotel."

"Yes I know all that, but Sergeant Thompson is being discharged under my
care and if he has to sleep in my room I will just have to put up with
it. I'm sure he will be fine on the floor." Tommy loved the look Lee was
giving him, they were back to normal now. "It will only be for one night
anyway, we are going away to stay with Lord Hunter Morton in Dorset for a
while." Tommy, being a VC, a Major and name dropping Lord Hunter
Morton, the hotel's objections had no chance.

They said fond farewells to Trevor and the taxi took them to the station,
Lee did not stop talking for the two hours it took to get to London in
the packed compartment on the train. Tommy just sat there replying when
he thought he needed to and fighting the urge to kiss him to shut him up.

When they got to the hotel it became obvious to Lee that Tommy was being
treated as though he had diamonds dropping out of his ass and Lee kept
looking at him as one then another member of staff or guest came up to
him to shake hands and congratulate him. When finally they got to their
room and even though Lee wanted more kisses, he needed to know what all
the fuss was about.

"Tommy, it's like they realised you are the real King George and not
the one in Buck House. What's going on? I know fucking well something
is." Tommy went to a drawer and took the letter out and handed it to Lee.
They were sitting on the bed and it took Lee twice to read the letter and
let the contents of it sink in. He put it down and looked at Tommy.

"Right you sod, now tell me what REALLY happened out there and DONT
bullshit me." Half hour later Tommy finished and let Lee think it all
through. For once, in fact most probably for the first time ever, Lee was
lost for words and just cuddled into Tommy. They laid down and as soon as
they did fell fast asleep, still fully dressed. The stress of the past
three and a half months had drained the pair of them.

A highly excited Edward stood outside the front of the manor with
Cornwallis sitting next to him waiting for the car to come up the drive
with Tommy and Lee in it. They had come back from Scotland early when
they found out Tommy had found Lee and they were going to the Manor.

It was highly emotional and very private to them. They went into the
house and talked for hours each of them telling their own story. Tommy's
award of the VC had been spread all over the papers and Edward and
Cornwallis just congratulated him without pressuring Tommy to talk about
it.

Tommy wanted to go and see Wendy and for once wanted to be on his own.
Lee more than understood and it would give him the opportunity to tell
Edward and Cornwallis of Tommy's actions on that final day.

He went to her field and she trotted over and they stayed for a long time
snuggled up, each with their own thoughts. Wendy had been retired and
would spend the rest of her days in this lovely field. Tommy climbed on
her back and she slowly took them both around her retirement home each so
happy to be back together. She got back where she had begun and Tommy got
off and with one more cuddle around her massive neck kissed her head and
went back indoors. Wendy watched Tommy all the way until he went out of
sight, then went back to grazing. She just knew Tommy would not bugger
off again and would come to see her every day now.

The conversation went back to that day and they went through it again ,
not particularly Tommy's part, the whole thing.

"Why did they not fire on us before we got into the woods do you think
Tommy?" Cornwallis asked. He like Lee had little memory of it at all and
only up to the point they were shot.

"They thought we were part of a larger force and would fire on us anyway
when we came out, but as there was no other force and they knew we would
be pinned down, opened up thinking it would be a matter of time before
they finished us. When you think about it, that saved a lot more
casualties. Their Commander was not in the same class as Smiffy
obviously."

"They did not know you were there Tommy." Lee said proudly.

"Bullshit, what they did not know was we had the bazooka and if it had
not been for you, we would not have had it in the first place. YOU
suggested we get one to test fire which was the only way we could get out
of camp for Edward and Cornwallis to meet again and when we got back I
just put it in the jeep. That bazooka and you Lee saved us."

"Where's my fucking VC then!?"

"You can have mine, come on it's time for a bath and bed. i'm bushed and
need my beauty sleep and by the look of you, you could do with a lot
more." They said good night and left father and son to themselves.

They stood naked in front of one of the two windows over looking the
gardens and the beautiful countryside beyond. Well, naked apart from the
dressing around Lee middle that is. As always when they were like this
Tommy was behind Lee with his arms wrapped round him, just taking in all
that was before them. Lee lent against Tommy with his hands on Tommy's
arms. Both knew the next step , but neither were in a hurry for it to
happen, there was all the time in the world now. But the longer they
stayed like that their nakedness bought them to the point that thoughts
were beginning to leave the beauty of their view towards the beauty of
each other. Tommy dropped his hand down to Lee and took his hardness and
very gently stroked and at the same time kissed the top of his head, face
and neck. Lee put one hand behind him and found Tommy as hard as he was
and also stroked and like that bought one another even further towards
the time when..................Tommy bent his knees and Lee took him to
his back door, lent over slightly and Tommy did the rest and with one
gentle but firm thrust they were joined together once again. Lee stood
back up as Tommy stroked himself into his man oh so gently and slowly and
like that bought both of them to the point that there was nowhere else to
go and with one final stroke they both released their first peace
time ejaculations.

"Seems like Phillippe  was right Tommy. I wonder if he is in heaven
now looking down at us." Phillippe was in fact still very much alive and
trying to get his hotel back to what it used to be. One thing he looked
at often was the photo he had taken of Tommy and Lee when they stayed at
the hotel and just KNEW they were home together. He smiled at it and put
it back in pride of place on his Reception desk.

They all went to Buckingham Palace to watch Tommy be presented with his
Victoria Cross. It was all very formal and Lee loved seeing Tommy looking
so uncomfortable, but at the same time could not be more proud.

Tommy was the first to be called as it is tradition that anyone,
regardless of rank or position, Victoria Cross recipients were honoured
first. Tommy now had his Cross made from the bronze from two captured
Russian cannons during the Battle of Balaclava in 1854 which turned out
not to be Russian, but Chinese sold to the Russians!

His Majesty shook Tommy's hand and hooked the Cross onto his chest
and said some really nice things. Tommy replied and at the same time was
aware of a young lady standing near the King, his eldest daughter
Princess Elizabeth, now Queen Elizabeth the 2nd of Great Briton and a few
other places!

After that was all over they had to go straight to the French Embassy
where Tommy and Lee were presented with the French Croix de Guerre (Cross
of War) for their action in saving the lives of the villagers. That was
the final part of the war as far as Tommy and Lee were concerned and as
they drove back to Dorset, they were both heading towards their future.
________________________________________________________________________________
_____________

1946 and beyond.

Tommy and Lee would live permanently in their own apartment in the Manor.
Tommy would go back to farming Torrent's farm which he and Lee now owned
outright. They would live and work together every day of every week and
neither would have it any other way. 1946 would see them both still very
young, 23 although Lee was six months older and would never let Tommy
forget it. He found a couple of jeeps that he worked on and got running,
one for doing all the jobs that Wendy would have done in times past and
the other one for their own transport until Tommy put his foot down and
demanded they got a car, "with a proper roof AND doors!". Farming was
changing rapidly with mechanisation and they ran the farm virtually on
their own with extra hands coming in at harvest times. They were happy
and very content as well as remaining deeply in love.

They constructed a huge greenhouse over the foundations of the cottage
and grew nothing but flowers in it which they would cut and take home to
the Manor, but leaving a huge arrangement throughout the season in the
"Torrent Vase" which stood on it's own plinth were the kitchen table used
be, the centre of Torrent family life. Tommy also told Lee it was also
for his Nan and that bought about a physical reward for Tommy down by the
lake.

At one time in his young life Tommy thought he would never get over the
loss of the people he loved so much. That was until the "nuclear bomb"
came into his life.
There are a thousand stories that could be told about Lee's love for
Tommy and would do just simple things he knew would make Tommy smile and
cuddle him. Of course the crafty bugger knew it would also end up in the
bath or bed and even the kitchen table a few times. By the time they were
very old, 27 they could write their own "gay" version of the Kama Sutra
with one Chapter devoted to the art of love making under a camouflage
net! They did a lot of that during the times observing. Lee guessed after
the war that Tommy fired more "rounds" out of his cock than he did a gun!

Tommy came home this particular day and got to the lounge in their
apartment and went to Lee to kiss him "hello." Lee had been doing some
domestic stuff and was now dusting one of the sideboards which had two
silver candelabra at both ends, two cut glass flower vases and a large
photograph in a silver frame of them in parade uniform with their medals.
Lee turned round and kissed his reason to live. He smiled at Tommy and
saw his eyes moist over. He bent down and kissed Lee.

"Thankyou my sweet man. Thankyou so much." Lee had chatted to Edward many
times and eventually got the two matching silver photo frames he had been
after for ages. In one was the photo of Tommy with his arm around William
and both with huge smiles and with the head of Wendy in the frame as
Edward had taken the photo and another one taken in the garden sitting
together after that wonderful time they had together before William went
to heaven.

"Tommy. If that was me in the photo's and William standing here, he would
do this as well. We both love you so much and we know you love us
equally. I just wanted to say that."

Tommy could say nothing and stood for ages just holding Lee tight and
loved him even more if that was indeed possible.

Cornwallis would make a full recovery and take over the management of the
estate leaving Edward to retire and live in total peace and enjoy his new
life with his son and the two "extras" as he jokingly referred to them.

He also met and fell madly in love with a most beautiful women. Felicity
was a stunning lady with a very open mind regarding her husbands
occasional need to spend a weekend on his own in London. The risks were
there, but unfounded. They produced three wonderful children who shared
the same Godfathers who would spoil them rotten and then hand them over
to Grandpa who would spoil them even more. Grandpa would then hand
them back to their parents who would be pulling their hair out trying to
regain some sort of family discipline. Edward, Tommy and Lee blamed each
other of course and although threatened with all sorts of violence, you
could not find a happier family in the whole of Briton.

Tommy, Lee and Cornwallis would get back in uniform at times, with
others, during memorial parades one of which was at the front of the
village church and the first world war memorial cross which now bore the
names of the four killed from the village in this war. Fred Partridge's
name was one of them. He had lost his life on his eighth convoy escort in
the Atlantic.

Writers and film people tried to get Tommy to tell his story and make a
film about him which he refused, but after Lee had gone on and on about
it, mainly because the man behind the hero would be recognised, Tommy
wrote his own story, but not for many years.

Lee never changed and continued to put his foot in it on many occasions
which only caused the family to love him even more, not least the one who
loved him beyond all love. Lee, as he has often done, has the last word
here as well. It was a word he could never remember in the early years
and STILL got it wrong!

All the family were taking a walk after their Sunday lunch, all three new
Hunter Morton's were with them and aged 3, 2 and 1 at the time. They
stopped and looked over the beautiful country side for a while. Grandson
Edward held Grandpa's hand, two year old daughter Katherine held
Tommy's who also had an arm around Lee's shoulders, Lee had their
new Godson in his arms telling Cornwallis junior not to forget that he
was the most important Godfather because he was older and so therefore
had to be wiser than "that bloke." The child's parents stood arm in
arm smiling at the others and like Edward and Tommy would soon be in fits
of laughter. Cornwallis had by now stopped his solo trips to London.

"It is so beautiful isn't it?" Tommy said "And even though we all
suffered so much loss, it was a fight we won against the odds don't you
think Lee?"

Lee was still talking to little Cornwallis, who incidentally was fast
asleep, and not paying particular attention as usual.

"Yes, your Lordship!"
