This is so good! I think you hit the nail on the head about Clay's feelings and his reaction to them. Well done! I hope you will continue writing about Seal Team's Bravo...

Awesome! Loved reading this one. Thank you for sharing.

I understand Clay's reaction. He finally has a family, he's the little brother, the little baby on the team, they're all around him, and someone is threatening all that. He needs reassurance. The new would have been a little older than he would not have worried.

Awww...that was a lovely story.

THIS IS PERFECT. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Clay being a dumbass and getting grounded! The team understanding where said dumbassery comes from and combining reassurance with the tough love! My favorite moments were the line "birthing one large collective cow" (which I laughed at like an idiot for like five minutes) and Ray telling Clay, "We're not your parents," because damn, doesn't that just cut right to the heart of the matter.

This is sooo good. I definitely agree with the middle child syndrome. I think problems with his childhood has made it difficult to trust people, maybe he feels like he'll be dumped off on someone else when people get fed up of him. Could be why he pushes people so much, testing them to see how long until they leave him...

Anyway yep I loved this story, seeing Clay's reaction to Vic being added to the team. I'm glad the team didn't mock Clay over his behaviour but actually understood where he was coming from and reassured him, while being stern. Love Clay to bits even when he's being a sulky little shit! Thanks for the great story, happy holidays.

Awww. I love this story. It had the angst and the feels and a good lesson in the end. Thank you for this. Looking forward to more of your stories.

Nice little story. Thanks for sharing.
