01. Full name: Colby Granger. His family don't believe in middle names
02. Best friend: David, who's the only person who knows some of his worst secrets - the only one he wants to know them - and the one he missed most when he was in jail
03. Sexuality: He's nominally bi, but he's only slept with a couple of women, and he can't really imagine settling down with one, though he kind of hates the thought that he's embodying the stereotype of saying he's bi because he isn't ready to say he's gay yet
04. Favorite color: seriously? he's never thought about it
05. Relationship status: One half of a definitely open long-distance relationship with another man. Which will become a lot less open should the other guy ever come home
06. Ideal mate: he's fairly sure he's already with his ideal mate, even if his ideal mate is too far away to even get on the phone
07. Turn-ons: he's not totally sure what it says about him, but he likes guys like himself, who run five miles for fun and would live on pizza if they could and have regrets but know how to move on. Also, guys with nice smiles.
08. Last sexual experience: Five months ago, the morning before Evan left for an unspecified period of time, pressed too close to read each other's faces. Which may have been for the best
09. Favorite food: Pizza, with anything but anchovies. That's just wrong
10. Crushes: Maybe Charlie, a little bit, at first. The guy was so brilliant - light years from anyone else Colby had ever met. And then, weirdly, Fleinhardt, who he'd figured was gay, or maybe asexual, until he hooked up with Megan
11. Favorite music: Dwayne listened to rap, all the time, his headphones a little too loud so the sound bled through, and now it makes Colby cold with memory, but it still means more than anything else he hears
12. Biggest fear: That his next bad secret, the next thing he won't want to talk about, will be about someone he cares about, not just someone on his side.
13. Biggest fantasy: It's completely dorky, but he sees some of the other agents sometimes, meeting their partners for lunch, or calling home to say they'll be late, and some days that's what he dreams about. Having the kind of normal relationship than you can't have when one of you is active duty military
14. Quirks in bed: He likes to be held down, but he likes the struggle that comes before it more; on the flip side, he hates being held when it's not about sex
15. Bad habits: Forgetting to call his mom, leaving chewed pens around the office, and trying to make David laugh in boring briefings with really bad puns
16. Biggest regret: That Dwayne saved him. Because he has regrets about what came later, but none of it would have happened if it hadn't been Dwayne who pulled him out
17. Best kept secrets: Well, there's the active duty military boyfriend...
18. Last thought: That he's not completely sure he actually hit send on his paperwork, and he'll have to log into his webmail to make sure when he gets home
19. Worst sexual/romantic experience: The first time he and Evan were together after the spy thing, when they were both trying too hard to say that they were sorry. They ended up sitting on Colby's balcony at four in the morning, drinking, and then ended up having sex out there instead, because Colby knew he hadn't been the only one with a secret, and he knew what it was like to want to tell
20. Biggest insecurity: That there will never come a point when he matters more to Evan than Evan's job, and that one day there will be a casualty assistance officer at his door, because he is 100% sure that Evan set ip up somehow so that he'd be told

One half of a definitely open long-distance relationship with another man. Which will become a lot less open should the other guy ever come home Is that a conversation they've had, or is it just a kind of intuitive....thing, that they're open? (Wait, can I ask questions?)

Ideal mate: he's fairly sure he's already with his ideal mate, even if his ideal mate is too far away to even get on the phone Just, oh, and awww.

Five months ago, the morning before Evan left for an unspecified period of time, pressed too close to read each other's faces. Which may have been for the best. This just wants me to give them a happy ending. Likewise with the "biggest fantasy".

Favourite music? I can imagine the first time he caught the faint strains of something familiar on the radio, he bolted for the nearest toilet, and sat there shivering :(

And damn, the last one. Yeah. Now I just want to run away and given them a happy ending.

[This was kinda awesome, thanks!]

You can definitely ask questions :)

Is that a conversation they've had, or is it just a kind of intuitive....thing, that they're open?
It's a conversation, though not one either of them enjoyed, and they neither of them really act on it.

Favourite music?
Yeah. And David and Megan have absolutely learned that anything vaguely rap like means an immediate change of the radio station if they're in the car with him

It's a conversation, though not one either of them enjoyed, and they neither of them really act on it. Between this, and the fact that for Colby Evan's his ideal, while Evan's answer seems more an explanation of why they're together than an articulation of his ideal, just makes me really, really sad for the two of them, as it doesn't sound like they'd end up with the happy ending I want for them.

I also think I should stop reading this, and go to bed, because I'm *clearly* reading far too hard into them :) This was a fun insight though.
