This is the sort of comment that no one believes but I’m OK with that.
The night before I left for boot camp, I had not one but two longtime female friends throw themselves at me, within less than an hour of each other. I slept with neither of them, didn’t do more than kiss either of them, but we’re talking sudden, “OK, what is she-oh wow ok-5 minutes go by” kind of kisses. I’d known one of them since the first grade.
Now, here’s the part where you stop formulating your accusations of implausible humblebrag and it becomes relatable to OP. 😁
YEARS, and by years I mean DECADES of my life passed before I considered the possibility that it was anything other than “we’re probably not going to see each other again after this, let me give him a treat to remember me by.”
And let me tell you, when that sort of realization hits you decades later, it’s on a whole 'nother level.
See, my cynical self assumed they both were hoping to lock you down as a BF or husband to mooch off of you, and cheat like crazy while you are deployed.
Maybe I have just heard those stories too many times, from people I know who were in the military.

Honest question: What makes you think those kisses meant more?
Sad Answer: I’m 30 years too late to find out!
Nothing beyond two kisses happened. That’s reality. Possibilities are not reality, what-ifs are not reality.
Yes yes, thank you Mx. wet blanket. I think by now I have that part of living down.
Probably tongue.
There was quite a surprising amount of that, I have to admit.
