Another Day, Another Leader.

3rd Person POV

Yesterday had passed quickly while planning formations for troops in both Crimson Army and Red Army. The two leaders ended the day early when dinner time hit. They had decided to call it a day so that they can both get rest for the next. 
Arid had woke up earlier than planned but just layed there there facing his lover or as others knew as his second in command. He looked at his watch and sighed. "It's 4:30 in the morning. I guess I could wonder the base and get a better idea of the layout.." He said quietly as he gets up. He puts on his mask and changes into his uniform instead of the black and red t-shirt and maroon sweatpants he was wearing. Once he puts his name tag on he didn't bother brushing his hair and quietly left the room, once he turned around he sighed. "You couldn't go back to sleep either, Huh Arid?" Arid looked up at the slightly taller man and sighed "Sadly. When did you wake up Red?" The redhead asks curiously. Tord just shrugged "Half an hour ago, maybe less. I was just going to patrol base until 8 since its big anyways." Arid laughed softly. "I was actually about to roam around myself. Kind of Ironic." The man in the red hoodie and grey jeans chuckled. "I guess so. Free time is out of the question seeing how busy yesterday was." Arid nodded in agreement. "Not as bad at meeting paperwork. There's so much of that shit from every other leader it's not funny."

Tord's POV

I laugh, he was right. It got annoying to have to do so much paperwork by the next meeting. It was practically routine at this point. We began roaming base after walking out of the leader section. Time flew past us pretty fast as me and Arid had conversations about random things and shit we had in common and Black's known weaknesses.
I thought for a moment as I looked at the clock on the wall in the lab. How did we end up in here? Only jehovah knows. Me and Arid was saluted by a few soldiers as they walked in and out working. "So. Your name." It was probably a touchy subject but I liked how unusual it was. Especially the meaning. "It means Army leader and battle commander, doesn't it?" The redhead looked at me and nodded "Yeah. When I was 3 I wasn't named yet. My parents thought I was a demon of sorts and killed themselves so whenever I was brought to the orphanage, Lisa noticed how little me would light up and the mention of wars and armys. So she named me and it's been my legal name since." He had obviously smiled at the thought of his caretaker's decision. "One thing I promised is that I'll find a way to bring her back. Even if it costs me my life to do so." He looks at me and honestly I was surprised. He's a 19 year old kid with big dreams like me, but unlike me, he's willing to risk his life to bring back someone who died. The only mother figure he had. Then two soldier's I wasn't expecting walked in as they both wake up at 6am. Has time flied that fast? "Hey, Son!" Pat smiled. Arid looked at Pat and Paul for a moment. I don't know why. It's like he was thinking. "Uhm, Crimson? Your starring-" Paul said with a small chuckle. "Ah, sorry. I just zoned out it all." He looked away from my adoptive parents. "Crimson are you okay?" I ask curiously. He just nodded and looked back at them. "You two are so old, like damn." Pat froze in his place "Hey! You don't even know me." Arid chuckled. "You two both know me very well, actually!" 

Arid's POV

They looked at me with confusion. I laugh. "I was about 5'5, Blonde hair. Greyish blue eyes? Mainly grey." Pat glew up like a light bulb and hugged me. I laughed. "Where the hell did you disappear to?! Me and Paul went to check on you 3 years ago and you disappeared!" I rub the back of my neck "Wellll, Army shit happened. " Tord was now confused. I sigh. "Tord, before you question if your hearing right or not. Ari-" He looked around catching himself. "Crimson lived on the streets for awhile! We would help him out from time to time so we know him pretty well." Paul laughed. "Nice save." Pat just turns around and pouts at his husband. Me and Tord laughed at the couple. "What are you two doing up anyway? Its early. You're supposed to be up in 2 hours." Me and Red looked at each other and questions each other nonverbally for a moment. "I woke up at about 2:40am and couldn't fall back to sleep and it was the same for Red. He woke up at like 3:30." Paul sighs at his husband. "C'mon Pat. We have shit to do" The man says in a grumpy tone. "But-" Pat whined. "Nope, lets go." Paul grabbed his lover's hand and leads him out of the room. I look at Red. "I didn't know they're your parents" Red groaned. "Yup. 2 pains in the behind as well." I smile at the mans choice of words. 

We head back to his office to chat for a little bit until it was time to plan again. This is going to be a long 2 weeks.
