It can’t be explained.

They both love it and they both hate it at the same time—it helps and yet it hurts, keeping them sane but also driving them into insanity.

Why do they do it? Neither of them are sure. It’s true that Charles has been prone to binge drinking and doing things he normally wouldn’t and Klinger usually jumps into things for the hell of it.

But neither of those reasons work; they’re both too sober, and it’s become a weekly occurrence, so it couldn’t be impulse. Maybe if it had only happened once, just the one night after they’d both been rejected and drank far too much, then they could have shrugged it off as nothing.

However, regularly, they meet, for as long as they can, not knowing why they need it so much. Maybe it’s the feeling of having and wanting and needing someone and getting those feelings returned; maybe they’ve both lost their minds.

Whatever it is, it keeps them coming, usually to the supply tent at night, where they share gasps, moans, and breathy calls for more.

It can’t be explained, but nevertheless, it’s still there, and they’re not going to fight it. Not when it’s so painfully necessary.
